luzulaDon't feel you have to reply to this, I'm just venting. Somehow it's a comfort to throw my complaints out on the Internet.
I do actually like teaching, but I've been doing it for three days now, and I feel halfway dead. It's like the students are sitting there like earnest little vampires, sucking out my energy and reducing my voice to a hoarse whisper. And there are 120 of them. Luckily there's a PA system in the lecture hall, so I don't have to shout, but still, four hours kind of take it out of you. And god, I have two more months of this. I hope it'll get easier.
Also, I will have to grade a total of 4 * 120 = 480 exams, since there are three mini-exams before the big exam.
Anyway. Now there is weekend! \o/
