One Project Down, One to Go!
Well our presentation is over and I can't say I am sorry. It creates such anxiety, and I don't usually get anxiety. I could not get Wimba to work on two computers and it finally went on at 3:45. I felt that that set us off our mark a little, but it worked anyway. Thanks to Colleen and Kathy for everything. It wouldn't have been possible without them. It was really nice to meet Kathy and I am looking forward to meeting others from their class at Scott's house. During the presentation, I found it hard to listen to people talk and then have to respond to people typing in the chat box. I could not do both at the same time. I felt I missed some of the comments being made in the chat box. If I did not answer anyone, I apologize. Now for the paper. I still have to finish it and I am feeling behind. It has been a very hectic first three months of the year, and I am a little fearful of what the next class will bring as far as work load goes. I know I put stress on myself by taking on too much, but I am enjoying the courses, so I am just trying to ignore the stress and know that whatever happens, I am learning a lot and it is so useful in my job. The kids are responding positively to the new ideas I am presenting to them and that makes it all worthwhile. Somehow I will get through, although, I am making this class by the skin of my teeth.

Good picture! I sympathize with the feelings of anxiety regarding these classes. It manifests itself in my body in strange ways. Luckily this program is only 3 years. Nice job on your presentation.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed your presentation (but not sorry to be on the beach while you gave it:-). I know what you mean about the stress. I spend the semester on the edge of panic but luckily I'm good at compartmentalizing. I can very easily put unpleasant fears/thoughts out of my mind for hours at a time (not sure if that's good or bad??). Regardless, like you, I love what I'm learning. When I went to library school the course work was snooze-enducing but it was a means to an end. I'm actually enjoying the process this time (but not the panic!). I think I could be a professional student if it weren't for my job, kids, life, etc...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the problems trying to stay focused on Wimba when folks are talking on their mikes, chatting in the chat box, and hearing people talk in class - it's all very frustrating. However, we have all completed our presentations and I just submitted my PLT. So now I just have to reformat to Google doc so I can attach to my portfolio and then I AM DONE! See you Monday at Scott's.
