The first day of a new school year never ceases to completely exhaust all of the energy I ever thought I had and then some. I am a character in a Street Fighter game and the bar is filled with red because my opponent, the school day, beat me from pillar to post.

Third period saw me attempt to learn everyone's name on the first day. In year's past, this was not a problem. Each time someone new was introduced, I would repeat every student's name, ending with the latest addition. However, the class size increase this year caused me to kill all of the time in the class period by attempting to do that and find out some information about everyone. As a result, not everyone got a chance to introduce themselves. I managed to learn from this faux pas for the rest of the day.

A student in sixth period asked me to identify my worst English experience ever. This had never occurred to me before, and I still can't think of a single experience that I can name as the worst ever. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of bad experiences, both as a student and a teacher, but I've just never thought to rank them. Color me intrigued and inspired, and look for a future entry based on this idea, hopefully contrasted with one that can display the best experience, too.
