I’m on the verge of falling asleep so I’m going to be brief. Today was better with the class I had been struggling with. I’m sure there will be days where I leave exhausted and frustrated again, but I restarted with them as best I could.

I gave a survey to ask a bunch of questions about what was going on and how to make class procedures better. I asked for feedback on different things and I’m going to try my best to take it into account. I’m going to try to be more gentle with all of us. We ended the day with a game of Scattergories and a lot of loud laughter. It was a small victory.

I stayed and worked until 7 (again) so that I could be ready for next week and feel prepared. Most importantly, I left feeling relatively good about the day. That’s a good feeling at the end of the week. Onward!
