une petite victoire

One of my GRE students got an 800 on his math and 730 on his verbal. Bwah ha ha. And he said in his email, "if I thought it was a breeze I wouldn't have gone to class," because at the end of the class I was like, "(name) thinks this is a breeze now." And he was like no, definitely not. So clearly he still thought he had stuff to work on. And he did. He must have answered every question correctly. So I feel good that he did so well and he told me about it. I guess the only bittersweet aspect of it is that I feel like I won’t get "credit" for my work. I helped him get an 800 on his math and what do I get? I did ask him to fill out his survey. So that’s good. I hesitated at the time but now I feel that it was undoubtedly the least I should have done for myself.

So now I feel okay. Yesterday I felt so miserable that I went to bed at like 9 pm and just lay there, turning on the light once or twice to read Petit Nicholas or Petit ours brun. Because I wasn't really tired. Just at a loss as to what to do with myself. The last thing I remember is that I opened my shoebox of receipts and organized them a little. Then I felt well enough to fall asleep. Steve called at 12:42 and I suppose I was asleep by then, but I don’t know, I had no sense of time.
