Tutoring Cycle

I was so excited when it was time for us to begin tutoring.  This was the reason I took the class in the first place, I wanted some hands on experience.  Although I had tutored in the past, it was always friends and people I knew so it really didn't count.  As an aspiring teacher I was looking forward to the hands on experience.  Well first few weeks were anything but that, unfortunately.  I had NO appointments, zero, and I became discouraged.
Here I was, stuck in Johnston ground just twiddling my fingers each week.  The problem was my location and time.  When I first came here there were over 10 tutors here, most of them experienced and who would sit right up front and take all of the appointments and walk-ins.  I began to get upset, not at them but at the fact that I felt I would never tutor.  Then Mid-Term week came.
That week before Thanksgiving break was so fun and hectic.  Everyone wanted to get tutored, there was mayhem here in Johnston.  We all had full schedules and there was a line of walk-ins.  I finally got the hands on tutoring that I wanted and I loved it!
But that was just one day, one week.  Here I am back and ready to tutor and with only one appointment scheduled.  The great thing is, I've learned from the past weeks and I'm no longer getting discouraged because I have no appointments.  I'll just sit here and wait anxiously twiddling my fingers until Finals week.
