It's been an utterly debilitating week, and I'm literally hanging on to the paperwork by the skin of my teeth. With lesson planning, observations, assessing children's progress, marking work, attending meetings, teaching, behaviour management, preparing teaching resources, assisting the class teacher with her duties, collecting data for my files... every night I'm working on paperwork, every night I'm only getting 5 hours sleep. It's only the second week, and already I'm feeling so exhausted.
After getting home from work last night, I just dropped into bed and slept like a log, and woke up 13 hours later. Fortunately teachers at the school all agree that trainees have a harder time with paperwork than a qualified teacher. There's just 5 more months to go!

加油！ 加油！5 months to go for your training and 2 months to go for your easter break :)
Oh Dear! You do seem to be having a rough time? Perhaps you can console yourself with thinking things can only get better? On the other hand, one more day of graft, is one day closer to Easter. Chin up you know it is all valuable experience
Yulin - Thanks for the encouragement... it's not something I've been getting much over here, so it means a lot.
Ron - I know Ron. I've probably shattered my image of a superhuman, but anyway I'm taking everyday as it comes and as you suggest, will try to think more positively!
