My head hurts, too. Do you feel bad for me yet? Boo hoo.

I think I will never get used to my Wednesdays this semester. Of course, my sister gets out of work and goes directly to wait tables at Moshi until 10, so I feel kind of bad complaining. But not really.

For some reason, I go to my methodology class and end up feeling like a shitty teacher. I know it's not the fault of the class itself, because there's no reason for that to be the case. The class is interesting and helpful in many ways. But I get in there and, maybe it's because I'm tired, or maybe because I never have enough time to do everything I need to do, but I end up just feeling like "what am I doing here?" I have days in my teaching that I feel really positive and successful, and other days when I feel like I will never get the hang of this, ever. Put me in an environment centered around reflections on my teaching, and you'll have me on the verge of tears on a Wednesday night bus ride home.

At any rate, I have too much to do so I've skipped the SFH show tonight, as sad as that makes me, so I can read Cervantes and fill out progress reports for my ten athletes. And if I start thinking about grading essays and tests this weekend, I'm likely to cry again. And I have to plan next weeks lessons, too...

Today, in a discussion of Marxism, our literary theory professor asked (in a different context), if you won $20 million, would you quit graduate school? I think it would depend on whether I won on a Wednesday.
