I'm stressed. I'm tense. I hate being like this! It's strange, the ambivalence that I feel towards my classes at the moment.
I've just started teaching an extra class, which means another 6 hours of teaching each week plus all the extra time that goes into planning and grading. But as well as feeling a little overwhelmed, I'm excited, because I get to meet many great people and teach old students who I view more as friends now.
But, really, right now it doesn't matter how many people I get to befriend - I just want to fall into bed and not have to think about all the stuff I have to do. Arrgh!
Getting into the flow yet? A carefully regimented schedule of denial is essential for most students too, believe me!
