An old one from my India trip.

Today has been a very difficult day. I have had to deal with the realization that I may not be a good English teacher after all and I've just wasted 5 weeks in India and about 3000 dollars. What a sad thought, isn't it?
I really thought this was for me but I think I was wrong. Now I'm very happy that I didn't  bring my dogs here and I will not be staying for 1 year.
There are things I know I'm good at and I should focus on those.
Today I realized, for the secon time since I've been here, that I'm completely terrified of anything related to phonetics. I would be much happier if I didn't have to deal with any of that but that would probably make me a terrible language teacher. Well, I'm obviously not a good teacher. I wonder if I could get any worse. Maybe I could but we'll never know.
