Damn today was one of those days when I must have been the worst teacher on the planet. First of all I was late for my first class, because I was relieving the drama of last nights Hot pot dinner, from the opposite perspective. I also fucked up my back yesterday playing frisbee and soccer, it was a little sore yesterday but when I woke up today it felt like one leg was shorter than the other and I had a bamboo shaft up my ass.
So I amble into class, and I am while I am giving them a quiz I am able to prepare for the second hour of class. But then I have to start talking and my back is hurting, I feel likeI’m getting sick and I just can’t concentrate.
First one kid asks me the difference between “before” and beforehand,” and I muddled through an explanation of the contextual differences between the two which he completly confuses him.
Then we come to the word “effect”, and I start explaining the relationship of effect and effectual, when the strange feeling that “effect” isn’t a word at all and that my whole explanation is bullshit. I bend down to write something on the board and the sharp pain that runs up my spin brings me back to reality: It could be bullshit and it wouldn’t matter, my students won’t remeber this shit.
That class ends and I feel another need to visit the a porcelein thrown of the west, making mye late for my second class.
In other news, my bloody computer seem sto have lost it’s copy of windows XP, meaning that until I get my as over to johns or call the chinese repair people y’all will have to wait longer for pictures.
