First day in school

Today was our first day in Seabrook Middle School. We went in for observations and got a little bit of a chance to interact with the kids. I thought that I would prefer working with 5th or 6th grade, but now I really hope I'll be placed in 7th or 8th grade. They seemed way more into the lessons and more like little people than strange, foreign creatures. The school is nice and we seem to have lots of resources--the teachers are super supportive and really like City Year. I really really like my team. Its an odd dynamic, but I feel like I can actually get along with all the people on the team right now. I'm writing this down so that in the future I can remember that I felt like this at one point :) We got to go out to the low ropes course and play around on that. We debriefed out in this cool outdoor classroom and had some good bonding time.

In other news... In science class today, I learned that "oughta" and "water" rhyme in New Hampshire.
