What did I get myself in to???
July 29, 2008Being a teacher, as rewarding as it often can be, also brings with it it’s share of disasters and troubles. Today was no exception.
End of term is coming up, so papers are due and things to check are piling up…and yes, thesis is due. Not just my masteral thesis, but that of my mentees as well. To make a long story short, they fell short and I’m afraid I have to fail them. It feels like crap. I don’t really know why I’m letting myself get troubled by it, but I am. I don’t like failing students but in this case, I don’t think I have much of a choice….haaaaayyyyy…
Then came another disaster. Perhaps one of my inadvertant wrong doing. It appears that a piece of equipment that I had used in class somehow broke sometime after my class and before the equipment people checked it. Even though I know there is a solution to this problem, I’m getting all frustrated and stressed out about it.
As if matters were not bad enough, the field trip from hell problem has also escalated to new levels. Terrible allegations have been raised, but to keep myself sane, I will stay out of it.
In any case, days like this make me wanna throw in the towel and get another job. Call center anyone? No grades, no take-home-overtime-crap, a social life, big money…hmmm…
