Cookies and the promise of money

eveglassA few nifty things today:
1. I finally sat down with my grandmother and had her show me how to bake my absolutely favourite cookies of all time (with the exception of my great-grandmother's mandelbread cookies, the recipe to which is lost to the mists of time). I now have about 100 cinnamon twist cookies sitting on my pantry upstairs. It's taking so much willpower not to run upstairs and scarf down 10 or 20. (They're little... really.) Yum!
2. I landed my first tutoring gig today: math 436, once a week, $30 / hour. Yay money! We start next week.
3. Interview today with an ESL company. They were looking for someone to start next week, which unfortunately I can't do, but I've promised to call them after I come home from Toronto to see if the position's still open. Twenty hours per week (9 - 2:30, M-F), $15 / hour ($20 if I can land a spot teaching at a company), no benefits. They can't promise me a permanent position, though there are teachers who have been there consistently for 3-4 years. The first 300 hours of teaching would be under supervision as I learn their system of doing things. So... we'll see.
And that's it for now. The evening is still early... anyone doing stuff tonight?
