Training has begun and I am glad to say that I am alive. Here's a rundown of what a long training day looks like:
7:15am wake up (if I'm lucky)My schedule will shift once I begin field training in July, but I'll still start and end at the same time.
8:00am leave for the 6 train
9:00am-12:00pm class: Teaching Science in Middle and Secondary School
12:00-1:00pm lunch and maybe some frisbee
1:00-4:00pm class: Psychological Foundations of Education
4:30-6:30pm nyc tf Pre-Service Training
7:30pm home (if I'm lucky) followed by some reading and writing
The past week I've had the pleasure of meeting very bright and compassionate teachers to be; I'm in good company in the nyc tf. I'm having fun getting to know my fellow fellows; nothing brings people together like a well deserved drink and a shopping spree. It feels great to be part of a hopeful and optimistic group of people who are dedicated to providing a valid education to youth that don't have access to one.
The remaining weeks of training are going to be busy, tiring and challenging, but I truly feel that I am working towards something worthwhile. Don't worry so much Momma and Daddy I am happy here in New York and in the Teaching Fellows.

Your schedule looks pretty intense, but I am sure you are managing just fine. Take me to all the places in your pictures! They look amazing! : ) talk to you soon.
Kristine! I stumbled upon your blog and I absolutely love it! NY is my lover. Haha! I hope to go again for my birthday and maybe we can meet up? I'm going to do it so big there, it's going to blow us Californians away!
I hope. Miss you!
