Week 5 - Friday

Well well well, another week has come to an end. Wednesday was okay and the content of the course seems to be getting more interesting by the day. That computer hitch that I mentioned was finally sorted out and I was able to get on with my work. Honestly, when the computer was down I felt so de-motivated. I tried to ignore it with the reassurance that it would be sorted but this was difficult until I received email confirmation that the matter was being dealt with.

Finally I heaved a sigh of relief. I had started my assignment on Monday so Thursday was just a polishing up day. I must say that my personal tutor helped me because I got an answer about something that had been bothering me and I must say the peace that came with it was amazing. The seminar that we had later went well and I was happy with my participation in it.

After my classes, I set forth to the library and proceeded to complete my assignment. It took a while but I did not notice because I was so engrossed in it. I asked for assistance where I needed it and within no time, I had completed my work and edited it a couple of times and then finally posted it online as I was supposed to. I felt that this was better than last week's, which was more like a 'breaking-the-ice' activity; a warm up maybe.

I had a bit of a problem with one of the students and I had the courage to sort it out. I was thoroughly pissed off about it and felt really angry. Later I reviewed the situation and decided that I was not going to dwell on it. I had said my piece and there was not more I could do. Furthermore, there is so much work to do that I have no time to waste crying over spilt milk. But to tell the truth - I was not amused with the person. But it is better to forgive than to hold a grudge because forgiving spends less energy.

Right. Today being Friday we are having a practical session and boy don't I enjoy those! I cannot wait.

Do have a great weekend because I know I will.
Cheers!
