TESL Woes

Today was really long... I remember towards the end of TESL today thinking "I still have four more hours of school..." Yeah. Also had a headache develop towards the end of bio lecture, which I got to deal with during lab (and a bit right now).
Figuring out my TESL volunteer work is going to be... interesting. First, there are around 15 programs to choose from, and I'm not sure what my priorities are right now which makes it hard to pick. Do I want one where I play a relatively minor role by assisting a main teacher, or do I want to be the teacher? Do I want one-on-one tutoring or to be a conversation partner, or do I want to work in a class setting? And perhaps biggest of all, do I want to gain practice in designing lesson plans, or do I want to make life easy for myself and go with one where the lesson plans are pre-made or there are none? Of course, this is all limited by the fact that a lot of the programs don't really fit with my schedule - a great deal have class in the 6-9 range, and my days end at 7:15, 6-ish, 9:25, 10, and 5:30. I can't even really do the morning classes. :( I might look into switching into a different bio section, or I could try to do my volunteer work on Thursday afternoons or Saturdays.
More panicking was had today. Bio lecture and readings didn't help.

*finishes getting ready for bed and tries to do some readings for class tomorrow*

[EDIT: Oh yeah, work was at a really nice pace today - I hope it continues like this. ^_^]
