It’s a beautiful, sunny winter day here in Toronto. A Sunday, which is my one free day. A perfect day to relax with a good book, and am I in the mood for any of the literally hundreds of unread books I own? No, I am not. Instead I’ll probably waste the day doing something pointless, like watching downloaded episodes of Farscape or McLeod’s Daughters. Or maybe I’ll go for a walk, clear away the cobwebs.

March Break is coming up for elementary and secondary school students, which may mean more work for me. That’s not a complaint—not only does more work mean more money, but I also love my job. I work for a tutoring centre where I teach English, Math, and French to kids and teenagers. My boss is awesome, the kids are great (and the little ones are cute as hell, even when they’re at their most trying), and the pay is much better than any other part-time job I could be doing. I’m really looking forward to March!
