Drained Chews

I'm so drained that I can't even blink an eye...

Four weeks into my new position and honestly, I just feel like I am in a new relationship of some sort - the emotional rollercoasters I used to feel with 4E1/2006 are back again. I wonder if I'm going to go through this with every new batch of Sec 4s I take. It's exciting, no doubt..but draining - oh yes!

I'm so drained I can't even see beyond tonight. Now this sends a lump of dread down my throat. Because that would mean not knowing what to teach next week. I wonder if my students knew the thought processes I have to go through just to bring them one 35-minute lesson...

God, I really want to break through with this lot. I mean what I said to them today - why teach if you're not going to produce results? I might as well hang up my errrmm...whiteboard marker and become a...Homemaker? What am I talking about...I can't even operate the washing machine and it was only recently that I learnt that the cooker didn't need a lighted match to ignite. I still can't iron my own clothes and the last time I tried to make coffee...I put salt instead of sugar!

Ok, revealing too much now. Never know who could be reading this. Shhh...
