...frustrated to relieved, discouraged to confident, poorly prepared to well equipped, and/or disinterested to engaged by the task or subject at hand. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy spending time in the wilderness, embarking on adventures with my family, chatting and texting with good friends, swimming, listening to music, and writing fiction....
