hesperornisThe good news: I think I did very well on my IP lab practical this morning.
The bad news: I managed it on five hours' sleep, a cold-foggy head, and a missed shower this morning because the hot water is off in our hall. Also, my written exam is probably painfully incoherent. Whatever this bug is that I have seems to be migrating through my body and wreaking havoc wherever it goes. My brain was not really functioning properly last night.
My students' apathy is catching. I'm getting to the point where I'm struggling to care about teaching them. Though it would help if I had any energy to spare on the black hole that is Intro to Geology. Yesterday's class went particularly poorly--I misplanned the lesson, and Rei overplanned a lecture. The students have a test next week, and I think he terrified them with the sheer quantity of information he was putting out there for them.
I am also very, very entertained by the amount of effort a student will put into an optional assignment for five points extra credit, when the same student won't study for the 75-point exam.
