He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" There is no folly of the beasts of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men. Herman Melville, "Moby Dick"

A Missed Opportunity
I WAS going to post pictures of my apartment, but blogger won't let me, so I will just say how incredibly cold it is today (why is it that the weather is always nasty on November 1st?) and how I am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. I have had 5 days to prepare my classes for Thursday and Friday and for some reason, I thought it would be nice to wait until about 12 hours before classes begin to prepare. I am such a imposture; I am no teacher! I am a day dreamer...How in the world am I supposed to be in charge of other people's minds when I can't even get a handle on mine?

I can't wait to see pictures of your apartment!
It's been very mild here. I'd be happy to have a few more days of this. Or even a few more weeks.
you're so brave to put your struggles out there in the open for all of us to share with you. the way you're feeling? it sounds alot like parenting to me. half the time you have no idea what you're doing, but you're responsible for a whole other person's LIFE! *shudder* try to relax and enjoy everything you can get from the experience.
Don't you worry,Angela, education is so much more than book knowledge. I'm sure your ability to dream, your travelling, your curiosity about things, will do more to inspire your students than a couple of hours of solving grammar sheets!
p.s. Can't wait to see those pictures!
