Ever since my position in Canterlot was discontinued, I hadn’t exactly been making much money. Bon-Bon’s done a little work teaching in the past and she talked to Cheerilee who told me about the very minimal requirements for being a substitute.
Needed a job, so I got one now.
Ever heard the adage, “when it rains it pours?”
An overarching event will happen that raises stress levels for most, then the added stress causes things to happen that raises stress even more in small pockets.
What caused the overarching event? I couldn’t say. Could be education; midterms for some, finals for others. Could be economic; Occupy Canterlot, election season is coming up at the local level. The whole end-of-the-year time-frame is notorious for being ripe with extra expenditures. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, plus added heating costs.
But enough of that. I’m alright, how are you?
I wish I could tell you more. I can only speak from experience.
You keep going.
Find something to tether yourself to, something to derive joy from. And if something happens to it, you find something else.
And you keep going.
Slightly less favorable than they were before.
I know what you’re implying, but maybe Bon-Bon and I should go out or something. Just to hang out.
That’s what I sound like? ._.;
No! No! I just meant criticizing me an-…
No! That’s not what I meant!
…
I’m sorry! Bon-Bon I’m sorry!
Bon-Bon!
The most challenging part would be remembering student/teacher names and building layouts/room numbers.
The most rewarding is when you see that spark of recognition in a student’s eye as they come to understand how to solve a problem for the first time. Cels, that feels good.
Me too, actually.
Good night, everypony!
