I really feel like I don't have a clue when it comes to teaching. This is crap! Trying to create my own materials for every f***ing thing is really frustrating.

I have to get to work on creating my lessons for next week and for tomorrow. I wish I had a textbook to work from, that would make my life so much easier. How was I to know that teaching ESL was going to be such a pain in the arse and difficult? It's not what I was taught at university regarding teaching ESL. There are enough materials out there that it shouldn't be a problem, but when a district has no money then the children are the ones who ultimately suffer.

Enough venting, must get to work.

I'm sick. I've got a sore throat and stuffy nose. The joys of working in a close environment with lots of germs... So I'm drinking my green tea and watching tv. I want to try and stay awake for when Dave comes home, but I don't know if I will make it that late.

Other than that I am still jumping through hoops. I don't like my supervisor for this student teaching experience. I don't feel respected.
