My students are feeling just as stressed as I am....and it wasn't hard for them to convince me that they would benefit more from attending a physics review during our meeting time today than coming to our class, so, at least I've salvaged a couple of hours extra for exam prep. Ah....the power of being the teacher...actually kinda pathetic that cancelling class is one of the empowering aspects of teaching....

I'm starting to rapidly reach that dangerous point where you are so fed up with studying, so confused about whether you're studying the right stuff, and so disheartened that I'm ready to just say f*** it - what I know, I know, and what I don't won't kill me - and then go get a drink and sit in the summer-like sunshine that we're enjoying (79/26 outside today with brilliant sunshine).

But, I didn't get to be where I am by giving up, so I return to the books, albeit reluctantly.

Look for more positive and intelligent posts post-test on Friday.
