i feel energized but not for more of the same. it's often difficult to study with my own child after teaching other's.

What other people said seems to be the case for me so far, I'm still new to this, but yes it can be draining. Working with a hangover is like discovering some new, lower rung of hell. Some classes give me energy, some steal it, depends on the dynamics of the group, and my own frame of mind that day. The brain is always in motion, which, though draining, is a welcome break from some of the more menial, or mundane jobs I have held before (would rather work up a sweat lifting boxes all day than sit behind a counter for instance). After work, I visit the gym and go for kalbi with co-workers, or rush to clean my apartment before the ladyfriend comes over. Either way I am more exhausted than I was when work finished, but more whole and contented.

I feel drained when I get home, though lots of things going through my mind. I think its draining for several reasons, but the most is just the pure energy I have to put into everything that I say so that the kids can understand my English! Logically youd think talking slower was energizing.. ha... i disagree. Depending my attitude though, sometimes I can laugh with and at bad children, sometimes Im ready to string them up by their toes.
