Freshmen at Large - Cristine

Apparently tutoring is the next big thing. I went to my first tutoring session tonight and could not believe all the people that lined up to listen to another lecture for another three hours. I’ve somehow made it through the first part of the semester without this seemingly important success tool. But now, with three days before my test, I figured it was getting close to freak-out time, and I might as well give this organized tutoring thing a shot. So there I stood among my fellow classmates, who were reaching their own respective freak-out stages, as we handed out tickets and paraded our way into yet another classroom. The smell was that of old eggs and the atmosphere rang high with uncertainty. Everyone was wondering the same thing: “Is this going to help me get an A, a B, a C? Will it even help me pass? Or am I going to sleep through this too?” I thought 90-minute classes were long in high school, but three hours? That’s just difficult. But alas, those 180 minutes could be what makes or breaks my feelings toward economics for the rest of my life. Now, the more I think about it, the more I have to ask myself: does everyone who goes to tutoring also go to every single class? Or am I just the loser that never misses class and goes to tutoring, just for reassurance? I’m banking on the second, but the first would make me feel much better. Who knows? I’m really just looking forward to hanging out at tutoring for seven more hours before this test.
