I was reminded today, you can't hit them all

I wouldn’t say that today was a horrible day, but it sure wasn’t one of my best days. Even as I woke up this morning, I felt as if something was off. Right from the get-go, my 8th grade class today, could have been better but I just wasn’t getting it. There were things that just didn’t work right and I wasn’t able to get into it. They simply just didn’t understand what I was saying. I’m not sure if its my fault or if there is something more to it that I don’t know about. My 11th grade class was good, well good for them. They weren’t really good, but compared to last year they were really good. I had heard stories that the 8th grade class that I didn’t teach today was really something and that I was probably quite lucky not to be teaching it. I never realized how much work it would be to teach 20 classes and do so many club activities. I mean in San Diego I was busy, but I guess it doesn’t compare to how I am this kind of busy. I mean I get to work around 8am and don’t leave till around 8pm and that’s become quite standard now. That’s not that great in my opinion, I really feel beat when I get home that I don’t even have enough time to eat without worrying when I could sleep. I need to make sure I get enough rest or I’d die. So with that said, I’m going to get some rest.
