Hey everyone! I'm currently at Northfield Mount Hermon in Western Mass. Ive been here for a month now, which means there are only two weeks left! Next week is a busy one, but after that it should start winding down. Its been good so far. A lot of work but also pretty fun. My physics class is really cool. I have 6 really diverse (ability-wise, culturally, racially, socioeconomically, etc.) kids, and my master teacher is a pretty chill and cool guy. Recently we have a new addition to our class - my master teacher's 2-month-old golden retriever puppy. Yeah, my physics class has a puppy. Pretty awesome.
Teaching has been fun. Yesterday we did a demo where we threw raw eggs. Earlier in the week we made and launched water rockets. Its been good, but a lot of work planning lessons and stuff. The kids in the dorm are also fun but more of a pain in the ass.
Tomorrow I finally have one day off, so I'm heading up to Cannon to climb with Mccauley, Mark, and Marc Shapiro. Should be good. Next weekend is my actual weekend off but I gotta go home to get my wisdom teeth out, which is a bummer. Luckily the doctor said it should be a pretty quick surgery without much trouble, which is good.
That's about all thats good and new up here. Life is pretty uneventful, no crazy adventures, just grinding through the physics curriculum one lesson at a time. I leave for Ecuador in less than a month, though, which is pretty wild!
Hope yall are doing well!
