Why Me? Here is a safe space to let it all out, where you can rant about all the bad things life throws your way. Sometimes it just helps to ask "why me?"
I'm currently on a 6 week placement for my teaching degree, I have to work up to 20 hours on the weekend to make up for not getting paid from my placement and my mentor teacher has put down not demonstrated for some things on my half-way report for uni.
Urgh, I just can't wait until all of this crap is over and done with.

Ugh, that sounds like a lot. I'm sorry you're so busy right now. Maybe you can talk to your mentor to see how you can improve on the things that they wrote not demonstrated on?
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through

Just an update.
I did speak to my mentor teacher about the things I can improve on and I have started to implement them in my practices but I think she made a mistake as she resubmitted my report where she had changed the 'Not Demonstrated' sections to 'Not Applicable'.
On Monday, it is my last day for placement so at least I'm at the end of it and I have resigned from my weekend position but I have not felt this tired in what seems like a long time. I'll be having a big sleep this weekend.
