You know what's nice?
What's nice is having enough experience that I can leave my classroom Friday afternoon, exhausted from my migrane, not knowing what I'm going to do with my students on Monday, and not worrying one bit about it, because I know I can come in Monday morning, look at the book, and decide which short story to start that will get us productively 3.5 days through the shortened week 'til the end of the quarter.
What's nice is being confident and experienced enough to be able to gauge their ability against the material to create assignments that will fit perfectly into that 70% of a school week, so that I don't have to worry about it over the weekend.
That's what's nice.
