Week #2 (Year 2)

We are coming up on the middle of the week for the second week of spring classes.  It's only the beginning and I am feeling apathetic towards my classes. For the most part I enjoy my time with my students, but this year is leaving me feeling unenthusiastic. Why?  Well, I guess compared to last year where everything was new and fresh! This year is less exciting... I actually have more classes to prepare for. I have a total of eight classes that I do separate class planning for... Maybe my approach to students figuring out the answers isn't the best as well. As a student, I bet they just want the answer given.  Is my whole view of classwork, pair-work, and group work a total bore to the students?  Is maybe my lack of interest rubbing off on the students? School can be exhausting, and I do assign homework every class.  I'm exhausted and it's only the eighth day of the spring semester!!!  Well, where do I go from here??  Stay positive ?  Think of the students' perspective ?  Get more rest ? (11 more months to go.)
Never stop exploring!!!
