Thanks again guys for the encouragement!
Its been a while since I have been on.. I landed in BOS at 7am on Tuesday and I started training on Wednesday. I am looking really forward to the experience, I have been doing all of the in house training and they checked me out in the 152, 172, 172Sp, 172 G1000, 182, 182 G1000, Arrow and as soon as we get time I am getting checked out in the Super Decathalon because my first intro aerobatics student is the end of the month so that is what I am most looking forward too.
It will be busy though, I dont see how CFIs eat because I am already booked up with 3-4 flights per day with sometimes 5 until the end of April. I guess I will just be a skinny CFI

Congratulations usmc!
To add to the tidbits of advice thrown out there...Keep it lighthearted. Due to your hectic schedule and difficult students, it's all too easy to get frustrated. But if you're able to goof off a bit with your students (sometimes it takes something crazy to make an impression) in a SAFE way, they'll keep on coming back, and you'll have more fun, as well.

Thanks for the info guys...today was my first day and it went well
It started out nice with a simple discovery flight then a new primary student, then another discovery flight and then a BFR
Everything worked out well and I had a good time, I appreciate all of your advice and will put what I can to practice
