Completely burnt out I think

Just need to write this down to calm myself or something.

Last year was tough, really tough. Workload was high and some incidents at work (not involving me but it affects everyone).
Was looking forward to the new school year and classes changing. After a successful campaign our school grew with 23%.
Not only are the classes bigger (some so big we don’t even fit in the classroom. 14 kids in a room made for 8) but the mix this year is just beyond mental. Some classes are just my worst nightmare. And knowing I have to teach them for a whole year is… well, to be frank, not my favorite thing right now.

I have noticed I can’t remember anyone’s name. I have forgotten the name of students I have taught for over 3 years and on top of that I can’t even remember their faces.

I forget simple things like turning on the light (really weird).
Yesterday I was gonna heat my lunch.
I put a CD in the microwave instead and then just stood there contemplating what I was doing. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Pretty lol in hindsight but when it happened. Damn son.

Well… don’t really know what I want to say with this post. Just, take care of yourself.
Enjoy the nice weather and do something fun.

EDIT: just wanted to say thank you to everyone that replied.
