As a teacher, do you sometimes feel not wanting to go to school?

We often hear comments from our students of being excited about holidays and dismiss time. But how about you as a teacher, do you sometimes feel the same? Today is declared national holiday in our place. It was fun to be home and to be able to do a lot of things. And tonight, I can honestly say that I am not thrilled to prepare for tomorrows class. I really feel guilty about this. But what can I do? Sigh... I feel I need to have some rest or more rest so I can be refreshed and be more ready to go to work. Teaching is not as easy as many thinks. You need energy, creativity, knowledge(of course!), zest, and a lot more to be effective. And I don't feel I have the many things I will need to be effective tomorrow. How about you? Have you come to this point of your career?

In my place, the philippines, it's also declared as national holiday so I guess you're from here as well, and i think everyone feels depressed once in a while, it's normal to have mood swings and trust me i know:P, so don't feel guilty! just don't let it be a normal thing in which in will become a hindrance and forestall you from working.
