first bucks!

so like, i'm on this indefinite holiday now, till i find a college to go to, one that suits me. anyways, mum wants me to get off my bum, and so do i.

we decide i'm gonna do guitar more seriously that takes away my saturday or sunday. then she decides i'm better off working.

we decide i start tutoring some of those poor souls out there.. sounds great huh?

mum even went off to print off a hundred cards to give out!!

anyways, got my first call from a friend in a year below, the guy's hopeless at maths. but the point is.. I'M GETTING MY FIRST BUCKS!

first lesson is set for this thursday.. 7pm.. sh!t i'm gonna wet myself.

but seriously, i think i'm really lucky i got this job instead of McD.

lets celebrate everyone!

yeah. its bound to get better if i do my job right. market for international students tutoring is big and unventured. certain teachers are doing 14 an hour. its a good job to start with.

7 quid per hour for this job is actually low, very low compared to what current peeps are charging at koreans. heck my cousin bro who can't teach for crap was going for 10 an hour, and he got it, thanks to me

but the working hours are really low, 3 a week, 12 altogether, 84 quid, its just over the value of the HDD you sent me taw. i hope to get more studd's tho. then it'll be easy going for me. i might even be able to help out with the bills

EDIT: deleted accusation against taw

Way to go, kimk! Just don't spend the cash too fast - first collect a decent sum AND THEN let ig go ! . BTW, I also got some orders (translation) on the side. In the first case, they paid me a double sum and were happy I did it that fast. However, the second customer was even better - she (no obscene remarkes, please, she could be my grandma) paid me ca. 2.5 times more than what I expected PLUS a bottle of whisky. Man, am I happy! However, I do believe that I deserved it, being such a nice guy

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

Sounds good, nice work. I considered doing some tuition myself during Uni, but I decided against it; I don't like kids .
