Exhausted

I filmed my video today for Internship I and I am absolutely exhausted.  The lesson went really well and the kids were just perfect.  As I watched the video, I was impressed with the classroom management, but it seemed a little boring.  I hope it isn't that boring in reality.  I am beginning to realize I am have trouble with "wait time".  I know it is vital for my kids to have, but it is something I really have to work on.  I forget sometimes they are in 8th grade.  I think I am extra tired because I was so worried about being "on" for the camera.  7th period is always a challenge.  Today, they were extra loud and rowdy and that made me feel worse at the end of the day.  I guess I know I have done my job if I feel like I have been beat with a leather boot at the end of the day.....since I am a first year teacher. :-) The work does not stop however, I must now continue to read and prepare for Saturday.  Hopefully after a hot bath and some tea, I will be re-charged.
