Session Summary:
Nicholas and I had a great, if shortened session this afternoon. We spent the majority of the session discussing plans for next school year, namely Nicholas's idea for me to teach him Latin for a Cranbrook course credit, which will free up his schedule to take a course he wants to take. I told Nicholas I thought it was a great idea and I 100% supported him in it. I also warned him, though, that he was piling even more onto what seemed to me an already heavy schedule. He assured me he was okay with that. He also assured me he and his mom had already discussed the ins and outs of all of this. We did do a little bit of work with a Catullus poem, a few words of which I got Nicholas to break down the grammar. He did so with ease. We finished the session with a short discussion about his history paper and that I would be happy to edit and annotate it for him, to which Nicholas was highly receptive. I told him that we were going to be doing such academic writing tutoring over the summer and next school year anyway, so there was no need not to start now. Thanks, Nicholas, for your good, hard work today.
