Down at the corner of my street, there is this tutoring centre called James Ann Couching College (it's not actually a college) and that is where my mother applied for an English class just for extra work to keep me occupied just in case school work isn't enough for me. Plus, I need more practise with this damn subject anyway. My lesson goes from 5pm to 7pm on a Wednesday, and I know it sounds like a long, boring, arduous 2 hours worth of heads down reading and writing, but surprising I kind of enjoy my class!

My class consists of 5 kids, including myself. One recently left the class because he was double booked with some other tutor. But anyway, though I'm the only girl in my class (lolz score!!! jokes) the boys are hilarious and very kind to me. Here is the list:
- Yanis (I think that's how you spell it): This EXTREMELY tall guy who attends Carey. He's a typical looking Greek wog-eshayz-lad boy, but he's really funny and easy to talk to.
- Dominic: A year 7 that goes to Uni High, probably the only year 7 that I don't want to slice up. This kid cracks me up all the time!
- Long: A year 9 that attends Simmonds. He seems like a smart person, someone who would suit to attend Melbourne High.
- Leo: A foreigner from another Asian country, not sure about the whereabouts. He's quiet since he doesn't know much English. I feel sympathy towards him because he usually struggles in class. ):
- And Darren (who has left now): Super Asian year 9 boy, he looks like one of those Korean pop stars. He's a nice boy.
I mainly sit around Yanis and Dominic, they are the ones that keep me entertained for the 2 hours! The two are freaking so funny. Dominic makes the weirdest and most random comments about our work, which leads everyone off the topic and talking about something completely different and more engaging. Yanis agitates my teacher all the time and it is quite humorous. The boys are just mental but I love dem! My teacher is really odd though. She died her hair dark red (you could see her white roots) and she was like fifty something years old! And only recently did I figure out that I've had her previously as a teacher a few years ago, and she was the reason why I quit in the first place HAHAHAHA. She's alright now!
Today, they complimented on my intellect again! Which makes me love them even more omg. I was reading aloud one of my answers and Yanis goes "Why are you even here? You should be in the older classes or something!" and then Dominic agreed saying "Yes, you should join Yanis's brother who's doing VCE right now!" Feeling flattered I just denied it all. But these kiddies make me feel much better about ma self. :)
