An Entry on Re-Entry

Unlearning To-Do List: Walking/Driving/Biking on the left hand side Saying "Howzit?" instead of "How are you?" Referring to things as "take away" instead of "to go" Avoiding conversation with people on the street Saying "cheers" instead of "bye." (I'm kinda letting this one linger) Interestingly, a lot of my unlearning has to do with living in NYC rather than being in Cape Town. Like being afraid to cross the street, weaving through people at high-speeds, expecting to find make-your-own to-go salads and fresh juice everywhere, and never going out because everything is so far away. Now even my brother is in close proximity. (!!) Finding a job again is a huge pain but I managed to find a part time gig at Fireworks which i LOVE and which leaves room for after school tutoring (both with SMP and, hopefully, a paying math tutoring gig too). It also leaves me room for all the things I said I was going to do with my time
