Ahhh...

Much better day today. We had our second action-research class today, and though I cannot say things were much clearer after the class, I was at least able to follow the conversations going on. This afternoon we saw three presentations from second year students that provided a bit more clarity as to what we are required to do a year from now. One of the presentations was so inspiring and well-done that I had two overwhelming feelings: the first, complete admiration for the work she had done and the way in which she presented and expressed her experiences, and the second the compelling urge to pack up my things right now and head for home, because I feel I will never have a presentation as good.

It was reassuring, however, to see an end result (and one that, after seeing the following two presentations, seemed quite feasible) and to fill in the picture a bit more by hearing their steps along the way and the final product. I need to constantly remind myself that I will do my best, and that that will be enough.

(The picture is where we have the majority of our classes, and where the presentations took place today.)
