The First Week—a recap

Someone should have prepared me for an ENTIRE week of classroom lecture for 8 HOURS a DAY, with only TWO 10-minute breaks, and a short lunch break.
My head hurts.

Also, everyone was absolutely impressive and so gracious and welcoming—except for one presenter. I mean, I understand that we are new and that makes us a little scary because we don’t even know what we don’t know, but telling us this FIVE times during your presentation doesn’t engender confidence. So, dear presenter, thanks for making me more nervous then I already was. I will prove you wrong.

And, I'm SUPER excited about getting my first real paycheck in about 2 years!
