I started doing my Masters in September this year, and applied for tons of Teaching Assistant positions but didn't get any. I got a call 2 weeks ago saying "OK you're the TA for this class now, and you're teaching a lab tomorrow morning. And by the way, it's in FRENCH!"
So Thursday mornings at 8:00am sharp, I start teaching a computer science lab/tutorial in French for 2 hours. I can't imagine teaching everyday all week as some of you do, with IBS. Even though I'm stable, I'm having problems because of this 2 hour lab. The stress of knowing I can't leave, the fact that it's so early in the morning, plus I can't speak French very well, all make my stomach churn.
I'm doing ok, it's getting better every week, and my last one is on November 30th so at least it was short-term. I just can't imagine the strength needed to be a full-time teacher as some of you are. Keep up the good work!
