I think I scared my little freshman roommate the other day. She asked how life was going and I started telling her about how crazy it it to be a teacher and a student at the same time: I am taught how to teach. I am assigned a lesson to teach. I learn the material the lesson is on. Create and prep for a lesson plan. Teach said lesson. Go to my own classes. Write an analysis of my teaching. Do the homework for my own classes.
My roommate looks at me with a slightly terrified expression and I realize I am laughing hysterically.
"Do you need anything? Can I help you?" she asks, eyes wide.
"No." I moan as I try to contain myself, "I just need to go to bed..."
Sorry, Jessica. I'll try to keep the crazy tucked in at night.
