Week Two: Are We There Yet?


It’s not uncommon for the initial enthusiasm and energy at the beginning of a semester to wane as time progresses. The first month of any academic program often brings a sense of novelty and excitement, but as the weeks go by, the demands and challenges of coursework can sometimes lead to feelings of fatigue or disengagement. For me being able to recognize and address this shift in my own mindset is an important step towards maintaining a positive and productive academic experience. As we know that various factors such as a growing workload, the adjustment to a new learning environment, or personal stressors could be influencing this change. As I write this post I realize it might be helpful to reflect on what aspects of the coursework and interactions with peers and professors initially sparked my interest and engagement. Identifying these elements could provide insight into how to rekindle the enthusiasm and overcome the current sense of withdrawal. Additionally, reaching out to friends or instructors for support and discussing this feeling might help in finding strategies to manage the evolving demands of the semester.

reflecting on friday’s guest speaker presentation i found a youtube clip to remind myself on the importance of privacy as future teachers and making sure i share this knowledge with future students to help keep them safe with edtech and online socials.

First Week Chaos

The first week of class chaos has been yet another journey of self-discovery and adaptation. As I try to reflect on the whirlwind of experiences, I realize that chaos is not to be feared but embraced – especially within a teaching degree-. It’s the beginning of a story that we write our teaching journey on-one that unfolds with each challenge, connection, and moment of personal triumph. As week two is about to begin here’s to embracing the chaos and turning it into a stepping stone toward a successful and fulfilling semester.
