I just arrived in Philly today at about 1 PM and have taken the day to set up my dorm room and just hang out before $h!t hits the fan tomorrow. We have to be at breakfast by 6 AM (a 10 minute walk from the dorms) and on the bus by 6:45. I was going to skip breakfast and just grab a granola bar but we also have to take our lunch from the dining hall. So skipping breakfast means skipping lunch too! No thanks.
As of now, I'm feelin good. We haven't really started anything yet. Induction has just been a mix of social events and informational sessions about the master's program at American University, the DC region and the Achievement Gap in DC (as I explained earlier). Tomorrow we'll actually be going to the high school and figuring out what our next 5 weeks will look like. It's nice to know that we'll be here for 5 weeks- we at least have the chance to settle in a little bit. As much as I love to travel, I do NOT like living out of suitcases.
So far, I'll be teaching at Edison High School this summer but have no further information about my class or exact teaching assignment. Our first day of teaching is the upcoming Monday.
