One week down, a few to go...

As the saying goes at our College, "I survived the first week"! Of course, this is an expression of satisfaction for having overcome all the hurdles of the first week.
As students struggle with finding classes, getting to know their teachers - including figuring out their accents and weird ways - and locating that Far Side everyone talks about, teachers struggle with getting their lessons organized, dealing with their new (or old) students, handling their fear of not knowing enough or of trying something new.
There is a lot of excitement and a lot of energy, but a lot of trepidation and anxiety as well.
What has been your experience? What did you find exciting, motivating or frustrating? What are you still struggling with? What do you look forward to in the next few weeks? Share your thoughts with us.
