it's always slow in the beginning

so...

i am officially a johns hopkins graduate student.


started school this past week, and it's been great yet slow and anxious.

GREAT=i've met a lot of people, and it's been great eating lunch and getting to know them. Also, since we're a small cohort (about 37 people), it'll be small and intimate as we labor through the school year.

SLOW=classes are schedule 3 hours. Along with orientation, this whole week has felt so drawn out, slow, and stuff. i can't imagine having classes while student-teaching..

ANXIOUS=there's a lot of group work and a lot of active stuff. I'm not used to that, and sometimes i prefer the good old study on own and take a test or write a paper. But, since i'ts an education program, it's totally the opposite. Hopefully, this year won't kill me. haha
