I wanna be a part of it...New York, New York!

So, more correctly, Canandaigua, New York! But, here's my update. I have a job! I am a CNA at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital. And I'm currently a Regents Biology tutor. Regents is the test that New York high schoolers must take if they intend to receive a high school diploma. As such, this is very much so harvest time for the tutors. To be completely honest: I hate tutoring! I'm not a great teacher, and though I don't mind teaching (I've taught lunchtime French catch-up in high school, I teach merit badge clinics for the Boy Scouts, and I have been hired as an American Heritage teaching assistant), I despise teaching those who do not want to be taught. Which most children who need tutors are. But, I am quite happy to have a job. My new job has the most amazing amenities, including a kosher kitchen (for Ultra-Orthodox Jews), and a barn in the parking lot (for the Amish).
