Well, I’m here.
Things I’ve learned in the past 36 hours:
- Spring here is not spring in Utah (is not spring in San Diego…)
- It’s spring enough for people to water their lawns but not spring enough to not put ice on the sidewalk.
- It’s nice to run here but whose brilliant idea was it to build the city on a hill? Anyone?
- It’s almost impossible to get lost here.
- Teaching is exhausting. (You want me to fill an hour?)
- Teaching is terrifying. (Who needs a syllabus on the first day?)
- Experienced teachers know that if they talk too long their voices will regret it by the middle of the second class.
- I am not an experienced teacher.
- I wish I had done more diligent work in my methods courses. Moment of truth, here I come.
- I miss my family.
