It's great to be back in Philly.
By great, I really mean terrifying. I've only been here for three days, and the pressure is already settling on my shoulders. Institute starts next week, teaching starts the week after that. No house. Not enough sleep. No time to let it all hit me. Just the constant flow of energy from fellow TFA corps members reminding me what potential we have and what change we can bring to this beautiful place.
During the brief moments that I have time to reflect on all of the life-altering events that are currently taking place or have taken place (graduation, moving, teaching, getting married, etc....), I find myself at either one of two extremes: content or anxious. And feeling either is determined by how exhausted I am.
I can't believe I will have a class in front of me in a little over a week. Baptism by fire, here we come.
