Exhausted
As repetitive as it must sound, I am exhausted. Well, Thursdays always seem exhausting. This one signifies the end to my compulsory full control. That is quite welcome regretably. Today has been a mixture of passable and disastrous (more the latter when the Uni lecturer observed, regrettably). By 3pm I felt wrung out mentally. I have never felt sicker this week. I hope Friday passes smoothly and I can go home to crumple in a heap.

Oh no! Hopefully the lecturer gave you some constructive advice that you can learn from.
Teaching seems like such a difficult profession to me. I don't know how you guys do it.

My lecturer did give some good feedback to think about. And we both agreed that if another lecturer had observed it (she being the Queen of P.E.) she would have eaten me for dinner or accused me of crimes against the Health and Physical Education curriculum.
I had a nice thought that arrested some of my doubts about what I was doing. I thought how much this experience was like tempering steel with fire. I think I have lacked decent challenges in my life (I am not sure if you feel the same about your similarly middle-class life). Teaching is really challenging me to the limits of my talents. There is a risk that maybe it will suddenly become obvious that effective teaching is beyond my set of talents. But I don't think that conclusion could be reached at all at this stage. The exploration may be taxing, but I think it will be worthwhile, regardless of what I find.
I have learnt so much over the last two weeks.
I feel similarly about my auditing experience. I'm finding it more difficult than not right now, but I feel confident that I will "get it" soon enough and it will all seem easy for me.
