Tufts Orientation

Today I was not at my high school but at my university for orientation.  Since I went to the same school for my undergraduate degree, it was probably not as helpful as it could have been.  However, I did meet a lot more of the faculty and staff from the Department of Education, and I learned that I have a new advisor, because my advisor for the summer has gone on sabbatical.  My new advisor is also the chair of the department, so she should be super helpful... I hope.  :)  It seems like everyone has similar goals in how they want to help change the education system, so I'm really looking forward to getting to know lots of the faculty and really being supported by them.

We also had our matriculation ceremony, and I have officially been inducted as a double jumbo!  I met a lot of other grad students in many other departments, and the grad student council organizes bbq's and pub nights and even an apple-picking trip.  So I will hopefully be able to get involved in all of these activities and still have a social life while in grad school.  Tomorrow I'll be back at my internship, so I must prepare for a long day ahead.  And I'll finally meet my mentor teacher - yay!
