After four and a half weeks of teaching talented and gifted middle and high school students, I can say that I enjoy being a mentor and I am happy to be looked up to. But there is a second almost more exhausting side to being a teacher though: adult drama.
I wasn't actually aware of all the gossip and bickering and situational weirdness that goes on in the adult world. It's really not too different from undergraduate age drama, with the exception that consequences are greater. I've witnessed everything from drinking incidents, to E.R. visits (unrelated to drinking), to ambiguous romantic relationships, to hostile work environments, etc. My experience here has become something I will definitely remember and learn from for a long time to come.
As a side note, while I enjoyed The Dark Knight, I wouldn't recommend the new X-Files movie.
REMINDER: Read "The Watchmen" (Graphic Novel).
