The crunch time for assignments due is just around the corner and my thinking about all of the work I have yet to finish, rather than the sitting down and doing it is trying my patenice! I know there is no one to blame and even more important- no one to help so…pitter, patter…..I did stop in on my sponsor teacher on Friday to go over any input he has on my week visit starting next week, his attitude is pretty much along mine as we are both open to whatever transpires. I will sit in and if I feel it is something I would like to get involved with, well, by all means, do it. I always appreciate people who have a no nonsense attitude towards, just things in general, if there is something applicable and relevant to learn or to be done, just do it. Too much time is spent feeling out a situation or conforming to someone`s ego as to not step their toes or put them out of place. I think I am probably one of the worst offenders of such behavior and although I see why I am doing this, it`s been far to long ingrained in my physiological being to stop. It`s not that I am by any means disrespecting anyone by thinking like this but more of a “I`m listening, I see what your saying, I`m totally willing to do it, now put in some time and do something besides just talking to make me want to keep doing it”, This has always served me well in Industry and would say I have happily worked alongside and with some of the hardest, impersonable, and demanding individuals you have ever seen. Of course I would not compare many of these individuals to students but I`m pretty sure they spent at least a little time in high school back in the day, so I would hope I can have the opportunity to develop a rapport and maybe even a little mutual respect with all of my future students. I feel like I `m rambling on so I will get back to it. The presentations on Monday were very well done, kudos to Dr. Derksen and the rest of the organizers. There are many more presenters this week and I will have to comment on the next one.
