Well, I had my first cry today... we had just come from our action research class and things were very unclear. I know everyone has warned us that this program is intense and can be overwhelming, but I felt so incapible this morning, and was extremely overwhelmed by all that is expected of us. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm sure that played a part in it, but it really is mind-boggling just how much we need to accomplish both here in this three-week period, and throughout the academic year. One of my concerns is that if I feel overwhelmed here, in this environment, with no distractions (far from family, not teaching until the fall, not even meals to prepare) how on earth am I to survive the year??
The people here were very nice, two of them coming to see me to make sure I was okay. I guess I function much better with explicit instructions, and here you are so much on your own.
Tomorrow will be a better day!
