ESL has been following me around for the last week or so and I don't think she is as bad as I originally thought. I'm stricter when I talk to her and I don't assume that she understands anything I'm saying and I think we have found peace. When she follows me, I ramble on about all kinds of nonsense (because usually I don't know what I'm doing) and sometimes I even laugh at what I say. So all in all, things are okay again.
My new year's resolution is to stay at work until 8:00 pm or later everyday until my thesis, the publication, and my research is completed. That meant that I had to cancel all tutoring for this coming semester. I'm really serious about graduating, or considering a plan B, or quitting.
