My brain is fried at the moment. At school to see the show last night (great!) so home late. Up since 6. Today I think was the first day I was both the first teacher in and the last to leave, at least on my floor. Lots of old school cutting and pasting and photocopying. And I think the scramble to regain some sort of post-strike normalcy and order (not that I'm such a fan of either) and the need to draw the trimester (or whatever kind of mester we're left with at this point) to a conclusion has worn me down a bit.
There's probably also the fact that I'm teaching Calculus for the first time. I know the material just fine, but the first time you teach something you can't anticipate the questions the class will come up with. In my other classes I've heard 95% of the questions before, so it's just a matter of referencing something I've said previously, but in Calculus I need to formulate the answers from scratch, which is very stimulating but much harder.
Enough for today.
