I did it

Haaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm exhausted! After 5 hours of lecturing, who wouldn't be? But even if all my energy is drained right now I'm happy coz I can truly say that I did it. I gave my all to my students today. I spent all my energy discussing and sharing my knowledge and trying to make them understand. And it paid off coz I think (based on nonverbal cues and results of the quiz) that many of them have finally understood what they didn't understand when they took the course the first time (many of my students are "repeaters"). This is one of those days that remind me why I became a teacher.
