it's been a minute since my last update, but i've been too busy for blogtown of late. orientation stuffs kept me constantly running this week and between that and my new friends, i just don't know what to do with myself.
teacher prep went swimmingly and the instructor is really nice and very encouraging. she seems to think i will do well in the classroom and that i sound like a teacher. hopefully she is right and things will go well. i'm actually quite excited to get started.
i haven't had to buy my own food in a long time because it seems like we can go even one day without a function of some sort. TA meeting: finger foods. meet & greet for english grad students: pot luck. teacher prep class: muffins. orientation days: continental breakfast. department party: pot luck, round 2. apparently, we just like to eat together. we also like to drink together, and i hear the english department is well known for their expertise in this area. so far i am not terribly impressed, but the social lubricant aspect is much appreciated at the more awkward events.
final small note, yesterday something about my outfit was working for me and i was honked at twice. perhaps there is someone in orono that i resemble when i pull my hair back. if this is true, i would certainly like to meet this gorgeous young lady. the other option is that i really do just look that good. hmm...
