The post here seems much nicer, as does the surrounding town. I have my own room with a kitchen, and it's about 200 meters from my classroom. I don't think we'll be out in the field much, which means we'll be bored by power point everyday. We're still doing in processing this week, but we've already gotten our "equipment" for the field. It was pretty standard stuff, although the rucksack we got was about the same size as my backpack that I take my laptop in everyday. It's kind of comical, if you've ever had a real rucksack. I guess that's so we can carry our laptops to the field, if we ever go. It's about the same size as my kids' bookbags.
So far, they've treated like adults much more so than at the last school. We're told what events are happening when and it's up to us to get there on time, as opposed to getting us all together half an hour before we need to be somewhere and bussing us to wherever and waiting around until everyone is done, which results in a lot of standing around and wasting time.
This seems like I could get a lot out of this class, so I'm looking forward to the next couple of months.
