More Institute

Sorry, non-existent followers! I'm a terrible blog-er.

Institute is going well. One week in, and I won't lie, it was a really tough week.  Started to feel pretty overwhelming about Wednesday, but I'm feeling great, now.  I got to meet 4 of my students for the fall.  Two adorable little boys, and two adorable little girls.  I can't get over how small they are. Was I that small when I was starting 2nd grade?

One of the best parts about Institute is that my corps is getting really close.  It's amazing how you figure out how to have fun, even when you're bogged down by work.  Sitting in the hall and doing lesson plans was surprisingly fun, because everyone was in the same boat.  We all had lesson plans due, we were all sleep deprived, and we were all worried because we had no idea how to lesson plan.

Oh, and the inside jokes flourish in this type of environment.  I won't explain them here, because you won't get them, but I'll just say, I've learned that TFA is like "'nam."  And I love my fellow soldiers.

Well, the computer's about to die, so I'm off. Going out to dinner tonight with the BamaCorps girls.  I'll try to blog more often.
