Getting Close to Summer Institute

I have graduated from college with a B.S. in Communication Management and Design, which is still hard to believe. Soon I will be teaching summer school in Atlanta to prepare me for two years of teaching in my own classroom. I have been reading the big box of material that my region has sent out to prepare us for an intense summer. I have heard from many of the other corp members before me that the summer institute is exhausting, but life changing.

They all felt that it more than prepared them for what they would face in their classrooms, but they would never go through it again....ahhhhh! I know this summer will be filled with workshops, teaching, and lesson planning. I have been told that we will be up until the late hours of the night. Not to mention that I still need to find a house or apartment and a car. Oy! Nonetheless, this is great. I am experiencing real life at its finest.

Well, I leave Ithaca, NY for good on June 2nd. I imagine that once institute starts I will be blogging more often and with more insight into this experience. Until then, make good decisions!
