WHERE HAVE I BEEN LATELY??
LATELY I HAVE BEEN IN CLASS BUT I HAVENT BEEN THERE ENTIRELY. PROBABLY BECAUSE AS THE SEMESTER AGES THE WORK KEEPS GETTING OVERWHELMING. IVE BEEN UP AND DOWN LATELY BUT NOTHING MAJOR. I AM COMFORTABLE IN THIS LEARNING COMMUNITY. I AM DESPERATE TO GET SOMETHING GOING IN MY LIFE. I FEEL THAT I HAVE WASTED TIME IN THE PAST BY NOT FOCUSING ON THE RIGHT STUFF, BUT THATS LIFE AND IVE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT. I AM TRULY HONORED TO BE A PART OF THIS CLASS AND TO BE ABLE TO MEET GREAT PEOPLE IN THIS CLASS. I KNOW THAT IN TALKING TO SOME OF MY CLASSMATES THEY TOO FEEL KIND OF THE SAME WAY AND THEY TOO FEEL OVERWHELMED. WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER TIL THE END. I HOPE THAT THIS DOESNT END AFTER THIS SEMESTER. LETS KEEP UP OUR HEADS UP AND CONTINUE TO DO WORK BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW ITS EITHER THAT OR FAIL.

This is about the time of the semester when everyone - professors included - feel overwhelmed, as if we've fallen so far behind in our work that it's almost not worth it.
ReplyDeleteI felt that way every semester when I was an undergraduate and grad student, too. I still feel that way as an instructor. EVERY SEMESTER. No lie. I'm slowly accepting the fact that this is just a part of the cycle, the ebb and flow of the process. I whole heartedly agree that it's about working together and supporting each other - intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.
It's a rare and special situation when the majority of a class is on the same page. I was lucky that I had a couple allies every semester - I know that I know that I know that I didn't do it alone. Couldn't have.
So I'm pleased to see this group finding support in each other - even as we stumble a bit here and there. Stay strong.
Thanks for showing me Fernando!!! im in!!!!
