I was excited for the storm but the bad part lasted here for ( Read more... )

Today beat yesterday, lengthwise. Lab assisted from 8 to 12...it's a hard run doing two labs in a row. By 9 I was mentally drained...I've probably heard this same lecture for at least 10 times. It's making me dislike teaching even more. I hope next year I only do one lab so the others have a shot at it ( Read more... )
