I’m sitting in class now. I just taught and it didn’t go very well. I felt I had a good idea of how to do it when I left yesterday, but once I got home and tried working on it I totally stalled out. After basically staring at my computer screen and not getting anywhere for 2 hours, I decided to go to bed and finish in the morning. I only got 5 hours of sleep last night and have spent the entire day rushing to finish everything before I taught. It makes for a stressful and long day, for sure. I’m glad it’s over now though. I’ll relax a little tonight and tomorrow we have a short day so I’ll be able to spend a little more time working on the assignment we have due on Friday. I’ll definitely work to be more prepared next time so I can do a better job.

This course is making me think that not only will I be a bad teacher, but that I’ll also hate teaching.
