Teaching is a strange thing. The last two days I have been really exhausted and worried that I’m burning myself out. I was in the car for 6 hours yesterday on top of teaching. I’m behind in preparing lessons and wasn’t totally ready for my Algebra II classes today. I have to make a quiz for tomorrow, write lessons, create Algebra I centers, etc. And yet right now at the end of the day I feel really good. I have a lot of energy and feel like smiling. In teaching I can’t predict when things are going to go well and when they’re going to go poorly, I can’t predict what will exhaust and frustrate me, what will bring me down, what I just let slide off my back, or what will make happy.
