I’m serious; my stomach is all a mess and my head pounds… I wish I could just go home. But the thing is, if I make it past, say 2, I feel fine and then going home was pointless. I keep saying I’ll wait to see if I feel sick in the afternoon then go home early. But I always feel fine.
My students turned in their first paper today. Half of them didn’t have a folder or staples or even the drafts. I don’t know what’s wrong this semester but they are lost little souls. I feel like I had to come down pretty hard on them about some stuff and you know, I don’t care if that affects my teachers evals at the end of the semester. These kids are gonna be so lost if they don’t learn this easy stuff now. Damn they made me so sad.
So yeah, I’m gonna read a book and try to ignore the fact that I feel like complete crap. I hope everyone else is having a good day…

I’m sorry you feel like dookie. And I can sympathize with you on students not stapling/including drafts. I actually have a line in my syllabus now stating that I won’t take an unstapled paper. I know it’s a really asshole thing to do, but get tired of dealing with unstapled papers.
Yeah I felt so mean when I came down on them but come on, this is not that complex.
