tutoring

So, I'm contemplating applying to work for Ivy West or Kaplan doing SAT tutoring.

Specifically, the thing which attracts me the most about Ivy West is that they claim to have a benefits package which includes 401k, Short Term Disability, group Insurance rates, "and more." And supposedly you can work anywhere between 5 and 25 hours per week.

Anyone know anything about this?

Medication and eye fun

So I just checked in with my psych doctor.

None of my side effects so far are cause for concern, EXCEPT that the eye strain and headaches I've been getting could be a problem.

He said that there's little to no danger of permanent eye damage but that most people find the headaches and eye problems I've been struggling with to be an intolerable side effect. It may disappear with time.

So I went into costco, where I got an eye exam for $63 (including dilation). Turns out my prescription has gotten one step better in both eyes, and I've developed mild astigmatism. I ordered new lenses in my old glasses, thinking, "I've got a spare set of glasses at home, so I can wait a week to get these back."

I walked home with those silly looking fake black sunglasses on. My eyes hurt, I feel vaguely nauseous, and I have a headache. None of it is particularly bad, just irritating. And I can't find my spare set of glasses. Good thing I have contacts too. I can put those in if I have to.

Now I'm just going to have to wait for the new glasses and try them out. If the headaches etc. go away, I'll know what's going on. *crosses fingers*
