I don't want to be like this

A seething tub of frustration...It's only 6 hours a day of teaching, right?

But with all the problems, I'm having to prep two completely different classes now, and maintaining any compusure is very difficult. Working on any timeframe more than "The next day" out of class or "The next 20 minutes" in class is also very difficult. The 6 hours a day teaching means about 3 hours a day prep, plus the other tasks...

Getting good results--engaged students, learning all sorts of interesting things. Getting bad results--no further job from this, not much money, and a noticable health bill. (Mental/physical)

Only two more weeks, plus the documentation, but that's not in front of an audience...

Promise yourself a vacation after the documentation is over. Something fun, and far. Maybe take the bike to friends an hour or three away?

For a frustrating job, the only way out, is through. Sucks, but it will be over soon.

I've always thought that teachers have one of the hardest jobs with the least amount of pay and benefits.

Health comes first...please take care of yourself!
