Classes

Today my respect for teachers of all kinds went up a hundred fold. After teaching five classes today, I was more tired than any day on the farm or any of my other jobs. There are so many ways that teaching physically and mentally taxes you (but that stuff is boring and depressing and I'm tired). Some little things that made my day included calling on a portly kid named Bacon, another big kid after class telling me (surprisingly fluently) how wonderfully he plays the accordion, and a kid whose favorite food is "all the things" (a man after my own heart). They are all really neat kids and although it will be an often monotonous task, I can already see there will be many worth while parts to it.
