Learning

Learning to drive is exactly like learning a language. Right now I’m at the “I-hate-this-I-will-never-learn-why-can-I-never-do-anything-right-I-must-be-very-stupid-it’s-unbelievable-how-difficult-this-turned-out-to-be-here-I-go-missing-a-step-again-or-was-that-two-steps-am-I-doing-this-wrong-again-my-brain-is-boiling-I’m-too-old-to-begin-learning-this-somebody-make-this-stop” stage.

I have a new-found compassion for my students’ battle with the subjunctive. Maybe I should re-do the final exams to make them easier.
