Dear Diary,
Today was my first day
as an A+ tutor. As a fairly empathetic individual that hasn’t had much
experience with children, I found it very odd to assume the adult role in the
classroom of these 2nd graders. I wanted the kids to like me and
sort of took on a “least-adult” role and was more observant in the classroom. I
found this to be problematic for my teacher and I. This might have been due to
my lack of authority interfering with my tutoring efforts and attempts to keep
kids on task. It was tough to maintain the relationship that would meet the
demands of the children and the demands of the “responsible adults”.

Dear Diary,
The internet is so
cool! My family just recently got DSL! I was getting so tired of dial up that I
could barely play Runescape on. I signed up for MySpace.com and have heard
about a new site called Facebook.com that I don’t know much about. MySpace is
really cool to share music, hobbies, and pictures on! My parents don’t really
know what I’m talking about however, and often need help while using the
internet. I think it’s the generational gap. The only way I really connect with
my parents anymore is when we watch movies, especially Disney or Steven
Spielberg ones. I think this is because
of the adult and child humor incorporated into the films. Disney has always been
good at that and the Indiana Jones series is such a tasteful family movie. I
just hate the pressures of being told to act my age or grow up. I’m still a
kid, right?
