New Record!

I set a new personal best last night. Didn't get to bed until 330am! And once I got there, math formulas kept flashing in front of my eyes, so I couldn't sleep.

But, it seems the more tired I get, the better my lessons become. My associate stopped and pulled me aside this morning during class. I thought I had done something wrong, but he just had me take a step back and just look at the class...they were all (minus one or two) happily working on in their groups. Maybe the key to success is to be barely sane/ functional.

It feels like I've been hit by a truck...My whole body hurts. I'm guessing it has something to do with practicum, but not exactly sure why it's happening.
School seems to be going well, frantically trying to keep up with lesson planning. A bit of a break tonight because the kids have tests tomorrow. Hardest part so far is the management, trying to maintain that balance between control and not being a dictator. I think in the past 3 days, I have spent more energy on class management that I did in 3 years overseas (not saying they're out of control nuts -as no nuts are allowed in school,*rimshot*-, it's just the way the kids' self management is different). They say kids are the same no matter where they are. Yes they are, but at the same time, no they're not. Well, back to planning.
