Work is stunningly amazing. I'm more in awe of my kids every single day. I seriously had forgotten how much a kid has to deal with, between friends, school, family, and just trying to grow up, and I'm amazed at how well my students do it every single day.
I was so stressed about having an enormous class, but I've come to love the chaos. There's never a dull moment, and everything is constantly changing and moving forward. I'm never bored, that's for sure! 30 bodies in a classroom makes for tight space, but tighter bonds.
I'm also tutoring a couple students in math and teaching grammar and occasionally some other subjects as life calls for it. Its great experience too. I'm realizing though that I'm totally unprepared to have my own classroom right now! Teaching is tough work. Decorating my own room will be fun someday though.
I do believe I'm going nuts! : )
