Classes officially started last week, but my assistantship hours didn't start until today. That and the fact that one of my classes was cancelled made the "first week" not feel like the first week at all. Although, my Thursday class is cancelled this week because there's a football game, so I guess it's not a full week either.
All that aside, the semester is starting off in a hurry. I had almost 400 pages of reading assigned last week for just one class, so there has been no time wasted. As daunting as that is (and how dismal my last post may have been), I feel pretty good about it all. The students I've encountered in the writing center and in the graduate program as a whole seem really friendly overall. One student in the program with me is actually in all three of my classes and we've already spent a little bit of time talking (and complaining) about what we've experienced thus far (like the 400 pages of reading). It seems like the writing center in particular has a strong sense of community, so hopefully that will help me to get acquainted and start making friends.
As a small side note, I'm learning HTML for one of my classes (so far it's very basic and I'm not sure how much we'll get into it). Maybe I'll learn how to do something fancy with my blog!
I don't have anything else to add for today really, but maybe I'll have something more significant to say after this week is over.
