As if in recompense for yesterday, today couldn't have been much improved. Due to an alarm malfunction this morning, I was granted an extra 45 minutes of sleep. On the way to work, I opened a birthday present and listened to the radio. Yesterday's nausea had vanished with the extra sleep, the kids were pretty well behaved, and the time passed quickly.
A few of the day's deductions:
-The benefits of an extra half-hour of sleep (mainly, the ability to think of my feet) may surpass the benefits of an extra half-hour of planning.
-Happiness is a helpful ingredient in classroom management; the kids lose their desire to misbehave when they've no power over the teacher's mood.
