I am exhausted. My feet hurt from teaching for 5 hours today. My bones feel tired. Adjusting to the new schedule that the spring semester brings has been much tougher than anticipated. My teaching load is heavier, and my schedule is almost the exact opposite of last semester.
Still...I never had trouble adjusting to schedule changes when *I* was the student. Why should it be so difficult now?

I have wondered this exact thing myself. In college I had class for at least 4 hours every day (we were on a 4 credit hour system), but I always had the energy to stay up late. As far as I can tell it is just age? And the fact that standing up and teaching is more mentally exhausting than sitting in a lecture?

Because as the teacher YOU have to show up (- every time)???
