Well, I’m sitting at work, looking out at a sea of students, as they each attempt to write a paper for their class. So many of them seem to be so unsure of themselves. There are so many nervous ticks in this room that I am starting to wish I was playing poker against them all! Poker really isn’t my thing, but my grandfather has been known to play for days on end. I am really more a student of human nature. I like to watch and listen.

Right now, I can see the newly dating couple. He is obviously trying to advance the relationship. He is constantly touching her, and she is as nervous as any virgin I have ever seen. She is tapping her feet and pretending to write her paper. She hasn’t written more than 5 lines in the last hour. She just pulled away again, an now he is tapping his foot. People are funny.

I’m not a teacher, I am a tutor, studying to be a teacher and these students are attending my local community college. Recently, I have fallen head over heels in love myself — with writing. While I wait for students to ask for help, I read and write. Often the things I write seem to be lacking substance enough for long term projects, so I am leaning towards writing more short stories and now I’m starting this blog. If you are interested in the things I write let me know…if not, keep it to yourself ;)
