A tribute to teachers

A week into teaching the course I would like to take my hat off to teachers everywhere. Teaching is one of the most exhausting and draining things I have ever had to do. The entire day you have to be engaged and a step ahead of the class. You are the one that has to draw them out of their sleep deprived stupours by trying to make the module of the moment vaguely interesting when all you want to do is go to sleep yourself. Have you ever tried to wake up people whilst simultaneosly telling them about packaged software configuration? Let's just say I've had to get VERY creative. At 6 or 7 you grab a bite to eat and then retire to prepare your course work for the next day. The first opportunity to switch off is at 9 or 10 at night!

So much for my dreams of reliving my analyst school heydays.
