Study buddy potential

Floor covered in anatomy diagrams, three different textbooks open, index cards scattered everywhere. This is what my living room looks like when I get serious about helping other people understand A&P.

Started with just wanting to review my own notes, but now I’m sitting here making study guides and practice questions for tomorrow’s group session. There’s something about explaining concepts to other people that makes everything click for me too. When Sarah asked if I’d be interested in regular tutoring, I thought it might be too much on top of everything else.

But looking at all this spread out, I’m realizing I actually love this part. The organizing, the breaking down complex processes into digestible pieces, seeing that moment when something finally makes sense to someone. Maybe this could be more than just helping out occasionally.

Jake keeps stepping over my paper fortress every time he needs to get to the kitchen. He’s being patient about it, but I should probably clean this up before he gets home from his evening shift. Or maybe I’ll just leave one corner set up permanently. You know, for next time.
