Rainy Days
My feet are all wet from rainy sidewalks. Shoes are supposed to protect you from that, but these didn't.
I have mixed feelings about class today. On the one hand, I felt like I really taught something. I was articulate and good at making connections to what they were saying with what I wanted to teach. I taught both ideas and technical matters. On the other hand, they all sat there sleepy-eyed and apathetic. It doesn't do any good to teach if they don't want to learn. I'm feeling discouraged about my class. Just feeling discouraged in general, I think.
And the Internet is no good for that. Do you know how much stuff is out there? I went to Border's today to use my educator discount (at least teaching is good for something), but they didn't have anything by James Figurine. I have been listening to 55566688833 over and over again, and I wanted to hear more. So I looked into ordering it off Amazon. There's so much good music out there. I can never keep up. And same thing with books. I can never read all the books I want to read. Discouragment. I really hope it's just the rain.
