tutorials aren't half bad

In some ways, they're even more than half good.  I really like my tutor.  He used to look like Fabio, but then he cut his hair.  Now he looks like a blonde British guy in his late twenties.  We just chilled for like a half hour today before getting to anything related to Shakespeare.  That's right, the most rigorous and scary part of Oxford involves just chilling.  Maybe I bring out the just-chillingness in people, or he's just super-cool to begin with.  We talked about the internet, hoverboards, flying cars, barbershop shaving, and Apple.  He thinks Apple is headed towards the path of doom and Microsoft. He's probably right, but I'm going to try and keep myself in the dark.  We didn't even get to my paper today so I'll read two of them next week.  Most people find reading their paper to their tutor really unnerving and scary, but it's actually kind of fun when you don't live in mortal fear of your tutor.  Richard Rowley is a demi-god.  I really love Oxford.

Daniel is really proud of me for getting my work done on time.  That's kind of funny... shouldn't that like be expected of me? I have problems with deadlines, although I am much more focused when I'm up against the wall.  It's like my body has a built in system of Adderral.  Someone offered me Adderral in high school once.  I was saying how I was really tired and the girl sitting behind me in AP Bio pulls a couple of pills out of her pocket and says that I need to take one.  And I like laugh and ask what it is.  She's like, "It's just some Adderral.  I take it all the time, it's not that big a deal.  Just try it."  I told Daniel about this last night and he said she was trying to set herself up to be my dealer.  Then I told him how everyone at that school compared me to Jesse from Saved By the Bell.  They used to imitate the "I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so... scared!"  I've provided it below to give you an idea of how people thought of me in high school:

"You should put a qualification like at the end that this isn't how Daniel really sees you, cause these are like random people all over the world and they're going to think you're really like that... *sees I'm typing down what he's saying*  Don't write this! Ellen!"
