It's only day 3 but I feel as if it's week 3 already. Been DEAD TIRED everyday and I am really physically drained.

I joined the teaching profession because I want to teach. But the irony of it all now is that I have so many other deadlines and important things to do that teaching and lesson planning has been pushed to the bottom of the priority list. I hardly have time to plan my lessons properly! It's very stressful for me because I am simply not the sort of person who can give free periods to my students because I am not prepared for the lesson. I am not like that. It's against my principles as a teacher.

So because of my own principles, I am indeed suffering as I find myself striving hard to plan and ensure that my lesson flow is smooth and my notes are all prepared. Bad luck that I have to teach English again after a 2 year break. Two years may seem a very short time to many but in the teaching line, 2 years without teaching a particular subject is an excellent rust agent. I need double the time now as I am all rusty on what it takes to teach English. I forgot all about reading periods, journals, diaries, etc....I am so going to freak out.

Am very sleepy now and am actually spouting nonsense. I shall go to bed now.

Thought for the night (or for tomorrow, for that matter) : What I am in teaching for?
