There are energy vampires, right?


Since I think I've got a class full of them. Really. I thought it was just from the first-time nerves that I left my (three-hour) teaching session barely able to drag my ass up the steps to my office, but it happened again today. So I've decided that I'm teaching a bunch of energy vampires. They're not bad people, they're just sucking my life force. I honestly don't hate the kiddos as much as I thought I would. Most of them seem to be okay individuals. That's why I'm so confused as to the paralyzing exhaustion. Maybe the constant and repetitive explanation of how driving force affects the component currents of the action potential is what's doing it. You know, since I can't fucking explain conductance and equilibrium potential enough for them to stop fucking asking about it.

That's it. My students are sucking out my very life force. And I'm not even getting paid.
