Finally I accepted that private teaching job which I’ve mentioned without choice, then I need go to that student’s single flat at night on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, I was required sleeping in his flat!! That’s really uncomfortable, but what else I can do. My dear professor provided me this “ great” opportunity, and I should appreciate it instead of complain… Although most of my friends insisted I should demand 100RMB for one night teaching, especially I need to sleep at his place, I only asked for 90RMB per night at last, that’s really awkward when u bargain with someone(his mother), so I just wanna offer a suitable(maybe a little low) price and make the process shorter. Besides, I needn’t teach him all night, his mother told me I just need to Chaperon him, and tutor him when he gets problems . It seemed it’s not so hard as I thought. ^_^
Yesterday I had a conversation with the student’s mother, at first I told her straightly I don’t wanna sleep in her son’s flat, and let her know I get enough time to catch the bus, but she insisted on my sleep with his son considering it’s quite unsafe to get back at late night. When I said it would not be too bad cos I am a man, but she still keeped her opinion, I cannot refuse then. But when she tried to know if I’d like to sleep with her son on one bed, I rejected it quickly, so she promised she’ll arrange another bed. Incredible!!
Since my professor sent me a message which showed this student majors in P.E,I immediately get the answer why his mother doesn’t want me back—she wants me to scout his son so that he cannot go out or brings friends back! This feeling was really bad to me, but considering I’ve made a deal with her, I don’t wanna break it so soon.
Actually I didn’t start my job yet(I’ll do it since Thursday), I’ve decided to buy an earphone to guerdon myself, and here is it!^_^

Sounds like it's going to be an interesting experience for you Wayne. I understand the kind of position you were in to accept the job, but sleeping in their home sounds a little strange....especially in the same bed as the boy. What was the mother thinking??
I hope things go well, and you manage to get a good nights sleep when you are there. If you don't feel comfortable you should feel no obligation to stay there though. Maybe it will be OK, and at least you will be in your professor's good books.
actually,it's not“their home” ,Chris.it's the student's house cos he've rented a flat alone, which means i'll probably become a babysitter!!
and thank u for your concern!!
