Better

Today I felt much more prepared. Besides a couple minute book-scramble-fiasco and the realization that my classroom management must, must, must be spot on, learning was had.

I had a hiccup of doubt when a student begged me to stay for the rest of the semester. He said I was "more fun" than my cooperating teacher, and I said "But you learn more with her!" And he said "Yeah, but--" In my head: "Oh my gosh, they're not learning!" Nah. They're learning. I'm fine. They're fine.

I also have been kicking my cough-thing in the butt with good ol' fashion giant pills. It's working. I feel 90% better. :]
