Age old or Old age dilemma ?

I think my professors need to tone it down a smidge. In the last 3 weeks I have written well over 25 lesson plans and there's more due this Monday (yea.. Spring Break is almost over...) So I've been waiting patiently for feedback on my BIG lesson plan for an ACTUAL classroom, and I got it today. The prof was all scary about it and told me I was shooting too high. "If you INSIST on teaching this lesson I'd really appreciate a meeting with you before hand."
I wrote her back and told her I'd change whatever she suggested, but I'm not expecting an answer by Monday. (Prof's ignore the interwebs on the weekends)
I'm frustrated with this entire major. Through my new job I've found that I really do work well with both older and younger kids, and I relate better to adolescents... so why didn't I just pursue the highschool teacher thing? Because I suck at making decisions, that's why. So perhaps I shouldn't be a teacher at all?

Who goes into their THIRD year of college STILL unsure of what they are doing? I don't want to get all the way into student teaching before I totally break down in tears and give up....

Speaking of tears, CRYING makes me feel better. I think everyone should cry every once in awhile. When thatonegirlIwenttohighschoolwith rear-ended me, I cried. I wasn't hurt, my car really doesn't look that bad, but the whole thing was so different and almost scary that I started crying. I felt wonderful all day afterwards.
