week 3

It's the middle of week 3 at school and I'm beginning to miss my social life. I stayed in this whole weekend catching up and finishing up on work I needed to do for class this week, but managed to finish by mid-day Sunday (I got to watch some football games!). The TEP 10 month program is definitely an accelerated one, but it's manageable. I still haven't really felt too "stressed" about completing all my work, but I have been doing work every single day. The majority of the work is reading, which I struggle with, and reflecting how you can/will apply what you read to your fieldwork. It's pretty simple stuff but it's constant. It feels like I just started and I think I only have 7-8 months left. The time is flying by, but as long as you have good time management skills there is nothing to worry about.
From what my friends in the program have been telling me it is best to live near campus. Living near campus ensures the commute to my high school, as well as UPenn is not going to be long at all. I currently live in grad housing (Sansom) which is definitely the most convenient spot for education majors. If you can't tell from my writing I am very excited to be in this program as well as very scatter-brained with what I should share with you all. Hopefully what I am including has calmed some peoples nerves down! Thanks for reading and talk to you again soon.
