Tired (I)

Yup, I'm tired...

Tonight's class was difficult. It wasn't because the subject was (Acupoints). It was just- this feeling. Like a disconnect. I felt like I was talking to myself much of the class. That, to me, is the worst feeling... Like I am not really engaging the students. Today, we learned about the Du (Governing) Vessel, a channel that runs up the posterior midline of the body (the spine). Although I had a willing model, nobody really wanted to palpate the points. I had four students locate four significant points, but that's it... Well, I suppose it's just me, I expect my enthusiasm for the topic to instantly infect the students... It just felt- strange tonight, that's all... Normally, I don't think I'm so thin-skinned. Jeez, if I get this riled up over tonight's class, with its overwhelmingly supportive environment, how will I ever handle high school students?!
