Held back.

The sad news to report is that Joey, the kid I have been tutoring, is being held back and has to repeat Kindergarten. They say his pronunciation isn't up to the same level as other students. I can understand that, because it isn't very good. He has improved with his memorization though. I am going to see his report card next session, so I will know what to work harder at.
I kinda feel like I could have tried a little harder. Kinda like I failed, you know. If I had more time during the school year, I could have done more. But I don't think anyone was expecting a miracle, that he'd be an all-A student in the amount of time I had.
On top of that, I nearly broke his ankle today. We were riding my bike, and I hit a big bump. His leg somehow went in between the frame and the spokes. He's fine though. I don't think we'll be riding my bike for a while.
Work today was alright. I arrived at 9am, after my brother dropped me off and I went to the store to get some office supplies. I started working on designs for our new logo banner. When everyone started arriving I was given my assignment. I was to make special cancer awareness ads, and finalize the Sideline menu. We printed them off with our brand new fancy printer instead of taking them to a print shop.
I completed my work and then I got to put the menus in the actual menu thingies (the plastic things that fold the menu and prevent the paper from getting messed up). I worked 6.5 hours today.
I hinted (maybe more than hinted) that I wanted to know about when I would get more time in the office. Especially after receiving such high praise with how the menu turned out. Misty said that she would talk to Iris and Pam about it.
I also told Misty about how I would buy the bike she let me borrow if she was interested in selling it. She is going to talk to Wade, and I may have a substitute bicycle soon.
I have been working on this entry for about two hours now. Osu!'s multiplayer has been delaying me. According to Raptr, I am in the Top 12.6% of players playing that game. But the only thing Raptr can go on to determine that is amount of playing time. And that can be faked because as long as you are logged in on Osu! it keeps track. I have probably spent 60% of my time on Osu! just listening to music. Anyway, that's what has kept this entry delayed.
Tomorrow I am free to do as I please. I think I want to play more Ni No Kuni. And I should edit some of these recordings I have on my computer. Well, that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...
Later!
