The glass (class) is half full (of awesome students),

So close to the end of term two... Whee did the semester go!!?? At the end of my uni degree I was relieved, I believed I would have my life back and would have time to do things I enjoy again (like play my poor neglected trumpet). Alas, I was wrong... I get home and plan for the next day, debrief from a terrible lesson or just crash and burn after such an exhausting day.

So I've started my mid year reports and freaked myself out last night... As I was marking I was noticing a series of very poor marks, missing information in assignments or assignments that were completely off task! The little perfectionist inside me was yelling...

Am I a horrible teacher? Did I give them work that was too hard for them? What am I doing wrong!!??!!

Eventually I found assignments that were exactly as they should be... With all the info needed, correct spelling and all! I guess all in all, the class isn't that bad- it just means I have learnt who I need to focus on more than others.
