After the Report

The oral report went well, I think. There was only one thing I forgot and that was that she had asked us to include something on our feelings about what we did. We actually have to do a whole page of reflections in the five-page report but I had forgotten that at the last moment, she had asked up to include something in the oral reports, too. However, I felt better about it when I noticed that Ben didn’t put in anything either. I didn’t get to hear the other two who were scheduled because neither of them had theirs ready!

I had an interesting discussion with Carolina about this while waiting for class to begin and when we were discussing how swamped with work we both felt we were. I told her I can see why she and the others are because they are carrying a full load and many of them are working, too but why am I? She offered a suggestion that one of my noters did also on this morning’s entry and that is when one only has one class to concentrate on, one’s standards are higher. And, yes, this is true. When I was a full-time student, I did pretty well because I worked hard but I wasn’t so focused on making an A that I did and redid and redid again every assignment and took every  piece of extra-credit work I could find! 

Anyway, la prof asked me about my feelings about the assignment when I had finished the report and I told her a bit but I also told her that I went into a lot of detail in the five-page paper. She liked my photos and I am putting them up on a website so she can snag them. The rest of the class asked questions that showed they understood what I was saying which is always nice when one is speaking a language which is not native!

I was up at 6 this morning mostly because I needed to practice before I went to class { but also partly because Fred moved over to my side of the bed earlier than he usually does and his knees and elbows woke me up! }so I am going for a little nap, now…

Until later….
