| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- blah-blah-ing into the void I am just about 10 kinds of anxious right now. For various, whiny reasons. School reasons, work reasons, people reasons. The main question I'm having today is, "am I cut out to be a teacher?" Some days I feel good about this, some days I feel like crap about it. Today was a crap day. It started mostly because I forgot one student's name - after a month of class - and inadvertently skipped over another student during presentations. I guess they're both totally normal mistakes (right? please?) but they've made me feel like crap all day. Also making me feel icky is that sometimes I look out at them and it seems like I'm just blah-blah-ing into a void and I know how much they love the teacher who teaches the prerequisite to this class and I can't help but feel that they're not getting what they want / need from me. Am I being clear enough? Can I articulate what they need to know? Do I even know what they need to know? I feel like an idiot. 4:05 pm - 03.03.08
