Its been a while since I've updated about my job.
Well, last Monday was my "last" day with my students. Their hours were complete that day. It was pretty bad. Not because of the kids, they were fine. But because of ALL the paperwork I had to endure. It turns out that I made a mistake in all of the attendance forms so I had to start ALL OVER AGAIN, and hunt down the signatures of my students and their parents. This was bad because the company is very strict with the paperwork. If they see just one tiny mistake they will stop all work and demand for it to be fixed, or else none of the teachers get paid.
But on the plus side, I've got to meet many parents and see my students in their natural habitat. Most surprising of all, I realized that my students actually liked the classes! They kept telling me how they were upset when classes were over and were happy to see me one last time in their home. I even saw my own work on display in their fridges!
Overall, all the paperwork has been finished and now I wait till they tell us the date of the party. I really, really hope nothing shows up...

You nailed a job as a video game website editorialist?
Are you getting paid for this? How'd you get the position? Tell us more o.o
I am a regular at Nintendo World Report. Been a site visitor since 1999 and a forumer since 2006. Recently the staff members did a 10 year anniversary retrospective. I suggested some ideas that would include staff memories and highlight some of the members so we promote the forums and its members.
The site director liked the idea enough and then he asked me if I was interested in being a staff writer for NWR. I looked at my situation and since my job has ended and college is only one day a week I accepted!
My job is to write news stories, editorials and reviews. I don't get paid, BUT I do get free review copies just as long as I review the games I receive.
I was even invited to E3! But I couldn't accept because I have school and I am broke.
Its far more complex and organized that I expect and the feedback has been very positive so far.
Hope you'll get to keep it for some time!
