Once again more of the same. Work a little in the morning, then teach.

Don't get me wrong, I love the teaching. Being able to fire up a bunch of young talented and hungry for action young people is a source of endless joy for me. But the physical demands of the job are manifold, from rushing around getting everything ready, running up and down stairs carrying monitors and ghetto blasters and long power extension reels takes it out of you. Plus there's the kind of emotional commitment that comes from wanting to instill a passion in people. You have to gee them up, it's like a performance, one that you have to repeat time after time, and that's where you end up shagged at the end of the day.

Plus I have a lot of money worries at the moment and that's distracting. I'm hoping to get a consolidation loan to sort it all out but I'm afraid my credit rating is so low by this point that they'll say no. What I'll do after that I'm not sure, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Anyway, onto happier topics. The day is done and only one more day of prep work for the project and we're done.
