nathaliaThe plan is to write 800 words for the term paper and then 700 for Camp Nano every day. That should get the term paper's first draft finished by next Monday or Tuesday and leave me a little under a week to do editing (I'm guessing it'll be a little over 8k long; the last paper I wrote was 17 pages long and that ended up being 7.5k). This one needs to be 20 pages. That's the specification. I'm at 2.5k right now which isn't bad. I'm doing the more fun Foe and Robinson part right now, I really don't want to get to the Robinson colonial myth analysis right now, so I need to milk Foe for at least another 1000 words.
I'm meeting the girl I tutor in an hour. She's seventeen and she can't do percentages yet so we do that a lot. She's finishing school this year (the German school system only makes sense to people who are from here and maybe not even them) and we should be meeting twice a week but she keeps cancelling and we've effectively only met three or four times since mid-February, so it's really no surprise that she's not improving. I'm not even sure how her English is because we haven't ever gotten to it yet but when I mentioned that I'd probably be going to the US for almost a year in August she was all excited and said, "Oh that's such an awesome city!" I really hope we get to meet a little more regularly from now on because her getting a job (she wants to be a dental assistant) requires her passing her final exams in English and math. I haven't seen her in two weeks and she was doing a two-week internship with a dentist (I have no idea how that works since it was school time), so maybe she's actually motivated now.
And just as I was typing this, she sent me a text asking me if we could cancel today's session. She hasn't suddenly become motivated. Ugh I hate this.
