The past week has consisted mainly of training. I now have training workshops not only with Teach For America (TFA), but also with the Houston Independent School District (HISD). The HISD training sessions are sometimes useful, but after an entire summer of training with TFA, many of them are as exciting as watching paint dry. You can only image how much fun it is to sit in a cafeteria for six to eight hours a day listening to someone talk about teacher assessment criteria...
Other than the necessary evil of employee and teacher training sessions I have been able to experience something new... free time! I finally have had a chance to organize my closet, cupboards, fridge ect. For those of you that know me, this was a huge accomplishment and a big step in helping to maintain my sanity. For anyone that is wondering, yes, my clothes are organised by color (and function).
With free time also comes a social life, which has been a great addition to my life here in Houston. A member of TFA had people over the other night to their rental house. It was great to see everyone outside of the "business professional" realm of training and just hang out a little.
Next week looks like it will be more of the same... training, training, training...
