Thoughts on teaching

I've been on my 2nd teaching round for almost 4 weeks now. And I'm enjoying it... but at the same time I don't feel ready to become a teacher.

I still have a propensity to be lazy or act like a student - I don't like going to a 9-5 job and I particularly dislike work/working. I want to play all the time and have fun without the pressure of deadlines or timelines.

But being a teacher requires me to work really hard, and I'm always under constant pressure of a timeline. Plus I have to wake up early and sleep early everyday (almost). It's everything I loathe in a job - but what's really freaking me out is that I enjoy this type of job. Where's the logic in that??

Is this actual proof of my human revolution? Have I changed? Or have I compromised my core philosophy? Have I betrayed my inherent laziness? Is it the end of the world? Why am I asking stupid questions?

Anyways, I'm having a end-of-uni-life crisis... I am not looking forward to the 'employment' phase of my life. But then I'm really sick of going to uni - I see it almost as a waste of my time. Yet I enjoy that type of lifestyle. Is there a job out there that allows me to live life like a uni student?

Arrgh! I'm growing up and being mature - I can't act childish and irresponsible anymore!! Goodbye youthfulness... I think my youth is slowly fading away into 'oldness' - I don't want to grow up!!!!
