Had a long day. Getting so frustrated at my field visits to schools. The students are all taller than me and they don't really take me too seriously because I'm young and I can't give them any grades and they're not paying for my help. They realize that I have no power, so they just kind of step all over me. It's frustrating because there's nothing I can really do. I show up and tutor them in what I'm supposed to and offer meaningful feedback on their work. I'm prompt, consistent, intelligent, organized and funny, yet all of the students I interact with generally ignore me or are rude. It's so tiring.

Also! Thanks everyone for the kind words on my 500th blip! 365 days ago was my 200th blip. I'm trying to do the math, but I'm too tired. I guess it took me 364 days to do 300 blips? And then 564 to get to 500? So I only missed 1 out of 12 days for the last 500 days. On average. Or something.
