My final day as a TA, would have felt emotional but almost as revenge for leaving (because they had asked me to stay several times) they put me with the idiot racist kid all day, who was an idiot racist throughout. Still, one of the kids who I've been looking after gave me a keyring as a 'thank you for understanding' which was very sweet, and the boss gave me a fancy bottle of wine and an epic cake. I'm glad I did that job...I learnt a lot and have got notes for a novel out of it. The kids aren't bad, really (apart from the idiot racist), they're just a bit lost with the world.
Equally: I'm thrilled to be out.
My drum teaching 'business' is doing well enough at the moment, even if I taught just the one lesson today - to one of my regulars, which was fun.
Then a 2 hour drive up to Leicester to perform an hour in front of 7 people. Lovely venue and nice dressing room, but the whole thing felt a bit flat in places. Afterwards they all shook my hand and told me how much they enjoyed it. They could have fucking laughed.
Still, home by 11pm, which is my earliest 'get in' this week.
