My first week of doctoral coursework was very fruitful. Both
of my professors were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and recognized
experts in the field of education. I was swamped with reading and assignments.
I love to read, but I’m typically a slower reader, especially when I feel that
I need to take notes-which I nearly always do. There is obviously a lot of work
involved in this program, but I knew that there would be so there’s no call to
complain on that front.
The other student’s in my cohort are all extremely friendly
people with diverse backgrounds and positive attitudes. I feel blessed that I
can go through this with them. I think
that in a classroom full of extroverts, I may be the only introvert. I would
bet that my research and public speaking skills will both improve vastly over
the next several years.
I do feel a little bit out of my league, but I typically
feel the same way with every new job I've ever started- it takes a little bit
of time for me to get into the groove. I’m doing my best to stay cheerful and
tweak my time management skills to accommodate these new life changes. Week 2
of 8 of the Summer Term starts tonight at 6PM in the RMU Library. Wish me luck!
