Successes?

I'm really struggling with coming up with successes for this semester. I mean, if I try hard enough, I find them, but they all have caveats.

Yes, I did for one class period get the school set of brand new laptops into the hands of my students, after weeks of pestering the school supply person to figure out who had the key, then realizing that no one had the key, and cutting off the lock (!), and getting a new padlock.. However, that lesson totally bombed because these brand new laptops won't open Java Applets because of some setting which I can't change because I have no passwords, not even a teacher one.

Yes, I have been able to get some sticky tough math concepts in front of my students this semester, particularly with slope. However, I feel like the ones that are getting it are the ones who would get it anyway, and I'm losing some of the ones who were borderline successful and doing very little to help the really troubled ones. And a good many of them believe my class is jaw-dropping boring, which I hate and I don't know how to fix. I mean, it's precalculus. It's the nuts and bolts boring stuff you have to know to get along in calculus.

Organization wise, I'm beginning to really see how lost I am, curriculum-wise. Last semester, I had an idea what I needed to cover in a semester, and this semester it's so much more nebulous that I'm floundering, plus I'm trying to do it for two different courses (precalculus and physics). I'm really having trouble with the planning, because precalculus and intro physics are basically the same material, but viewed from completely different perspectives, and it's really hard to essentially write those two curricula at the same time.

Yes, I did somehow get my principal to order physics equipment, which will probably be here in time for the end of the semester. It'll be useful for next year, when most likely I'll be teaching physics again. Probably by next year I might have a chance of teaching a decent physics course. This semester feels like it's almost hopeless already. I hate that "next year will be okay" feeling, which I hadn't had until this stupid physics mess.

I don't think I have any more off the top of my head. Really, my biggest success is that I still have hope that I'll get through the year without completely embarrassing myself, and that I might get myself out of the quicksand I'm in right now.
