Wow I am such a sucky teacher!

Ok now do I have your attention. I do not know about you but there are times when I try something new or read about some study and just sit back and think, "that totally makes sense and is so simple and yeah that will make my class so much better and why didn't I think of that on my own" or some similar run on internal voice sentence that expresses the idea. During this course I have hand that particular run on sentence internal conversation many times. That one is helpful the others I have had are

"How in the world am I supposed to be able to do that?"
"There is not enough time in the Day for what I do now!"
"I wouldn't be such a sucky teacher if I just had more time.... Ok one more game on NCAA 10 and the badgers win the national title game dang I Lost.... 14 games later.... Ok one more game and the Badgers win the national title..... rinse and repeat...

Today's enlightenment came simply by completing our latest assignment. I took my first lesson for the upcoming Environmental science class simply organized the material and then analyzed in briefly noticed some flaws made some simple changes and upgraded the lesson immensely. The whole process only took a few hours. I usually do this right before I teach a lesson but by then there is an approaching deadline and many other things to do. So this sucky teacher will be a bit better next year .... and then better the following and so on. You know that might just work hmmm....

P.S. sorry for all the .... but just in a hmmmm.....mood.
