Day 2 and still kicking

Day 2 in the classroom and I think I have perfected the balance of coffee and red bull to keep my eyes open during the day. Yep its very smart of the University to burn us out completely then, throw us into the classroom for a month straight without a break.
I'm teaching my first lesson officially tomorrow and guess what subject it is...yep, Math!
Good thing I'm all brushed up on my primary math skills now.
I’m teaching the concept of volume. It should be interesting. But here’s the big kicker of the day:
In the afternoon I'm teaching gym class... GYMNASTICS!
Who knew I would be so multi-talented! Ha ha, poor kids I'm going to have them doing summersaults and jumping jacks all afternoon.
By the way, I'm now a huge fan of Ritalin. I mean when it works for a child, it really works! Thank god or I would have one less kid in my class by now! Grin!
