Barefoot has been my pick for dancing since I began. I like the feeling of the ground beneath my feet while I dance. However, the many turns/spins in the choreographies I’ve been learning have been rough on my feet. While I’ve experienced no pain, I have come home to discover the skin is ripped off [...]

I mentioned before that I’ve been looking for ways to supplement my summer income. I’ve been looking at tutoring, but some of the rates are abysmal.

My last time purchasing fan veils was not good, if you remember; they simply wouldn’t open, even for my teacher, I didn’t care for the unfinished edges, the sparkle flowers fell off, etc. Besides the entire “you get what you [...]

She has been advertising it for a bit, but I had let time slip and then thought I wouldn’t have the time or money. Thanks to Facebook and friends’ participation (gotta love indirect peer pressure), as well as admiring Meiver’s [...]

You know it’s the end of the year when the tutoring center has people show up and suddenly, you get to tutor everything. I tutored for about 2 hours today. I did physics, calc, and English. Since final grades are due Friday, I have a lot of work ahead of me. My math students are [...]
