I hate roller coasters

Up, down, twist to the left, twist to the right, flip upside down, long scary drops, long slow climbs... Ugh. I get vertigo, I get nauseated; I can't even look at them without feeling sick. Student teaching is a roller coaster ride. Friday was a long scary drop. This weekend I was sure that I had made the worst decision ever in choosing to be a teacher. I quit a good job for this?! I can't do this. I suck at this. What in the hell was I thinking?

Today, however, was better. Perhaps it's the start of a slow steady climb after the stomach clenching drop last week. Tomorrow is my first official ASU supervisor observation, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I DO NOT want another gut wrenching drop for my first observation. I'd throw up. Or I'd get off the ride; which is what I was convinced I should do this past weekend. I actually considered the logistics of begging for my old job back.

But I'm not quite ready to get off the ride yet. Today was better... Maybe it will keep getting better...
