Reflections are like looking in the mirror after taking a nice long bath. You're refreshed and relaxed. But why do I feel like I'm in the calm before the storm? It doesn't feel like one of those banana tropical storm but a supertyphoon. Or better yet, it feels like that one lazy Sunday morning right before planes swooped down and attacked Pearl Harbor.
We don't see the pile of work we've already done because most of it has been uploaded, but have you scrolled down that long list of upcoming assignments we still have yet to do? Aye, Aye, Aye!
We are going to have to find some coping mechanism to see us through this. A manicure isn't a bad idea. At least when we're raggedly tapping on the keyboards, like me at 2a.m, you'll still have fabulous nails. Don't feel left out guys. You can get a manicure too. Then you can experience being what city folks call metrosexual.
Or we can sing a silly song with a positive message in it, like the inspirational hit in Finding Nemo by Dory, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimmng, swimming, swimming, swimming, lalalalala! (Don't think I didn't hear you sing that line!)
Now it's stuck in your head.
In this course, educators will learn how to support the needs of adolescent and young adults, helping them develop into confident, and independent readers and writers. Focus will be on the improvement of literacy skills through meaningful, constructive engagements in reading and writing.
I love that song!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just watched Nemo the other day, well, my kids were watching while I was on the computer doing assignments.
ReplyDeleteWhen we watch the show again, I will be thinking back of this correlation you made.
It will be a happy thought when we complete this course. However, right now I am just going to keep swimming because I do not want to drown.
You get a big smiley face from me on this post! I love it--positivity is key. I can relate because I find myself thinking about the moodle forum and blog as I'm doing more mundane things: using a can opener, filling up on gas at Mobil, sharpening my pencil, etc. I guess it's good that it's on the mind and really good that there's those like you to remind us to just sit back and take a break sometimes, for our own sanity. However, if we're already hearing songs in our head that no one else hears, are we still ok? :)
