Are Most Bloggers Exhausted?

Teaching 3 college courses in one day is no small feat--I need to recognize that or face the threat of insanity.

Last night, by the time I made it to my ENG152 class, I was, well, pretty fried. I broke the group into small groups in order to hash/slash our way through a really tough essay on Eurocentricism. I've noticed that I am stuttering/slurring in my speech occasionally in this last class of the day (I rarely eat lunch or dinner on these days--can we say protein?).

Last night, before I knew it, one student came up to my desk and asked me how to pronounce "synecologically" and to explain what it meant. I have a weird complex/acute awareness with/of my speech capabilities as it is, and at 6:30pm with a foggy-fried brain, I'll let you imagine the awkwardness.

But the one thing I have learned as an English teacher at a mid-sized U is to speak with utter confidence no matter what the circumstance. Forget about "correctness." Once again, I think I "passed."
