Paying off?

All the stress of not finishing the mandatory reading every week, all the nervousness and anxiety for feeling that I do not know as much as I should. All the articles read and resumed. All the exercises I made up in my mind to formulate ideas. All that new vocabulary learnt to link one point to another. All that and all those tears caused by stress kind of paid off yesterday when I met one of my two teachers before the seminar yesterday. They paid off because she told me "I've been meaning to tell you this for a few weeks: I really enjoy your interventions in class. They are very well thought through, developed and put out there. I specially like that you are not afraid to challenge what is being said in the class and that you explain your points clearly and thoughfully."
Sure her English is more elaborated than mine but you get the idea, uh?
This is good, good. Because the discussion is what I enjoy the most. I hope that she thinks the same about my essays, though!

Other than that I am tired as hell, I am developing some kind of reaction to my always-on contacts, and I am managing better and better with the kids in school. Ah! and my parents are here for the weekend... Fun!
