Awake at 4 am and no place to go!

I've been up since 4 am preparing for classes.  I keep waiting for teaching to get easier but it just has not happened yet. I'm beginning to see daylight - metaphorically and literally.  I really enjoy teaching but I realize that it will always be a lot of work.  No matter how much I learn there will always be more to learn.  I also want to do right by the students - it is a constant motivation.  I keep thinking that I can always do it better. The hardest thing is to make the best teaching choices with the maximum results for the students.  I'm not very patient with myself - I want it all and I want it now. Ah, retirement!  It's so interesting. I'm working harder now than I did before I retired.
