I’ll blame it on the moon I guess. This wasn’t a great week. It wasn’t a bad week, it just didn’t go as I expected it would.
I didn’t keep track of my week in draft form as I usually do. It didn’t seem like I had much to report. I had a to do list and was working on doing it. I worked a little extra time on Monday and Tuesday thinking that I would have my deadlines for the rest of the week met. Major angst set in on Tuesday when it seemed like that likely wasn’t going to happen. The angst wasn’t just me – it seemed to be all around. I started my own day with a stressful event (stressful to me anyway) and then it kind of rolled from there to include friends and family. Strange day. Again, nothing really bad happened but it wasn’t a ‘feel good’ kind of day.
My to-do list doesn’t look that long but I think I was scattering myself a bit trying to accomplish at least some of each of the pieces of it. Some of the parts require a lot of thinking and making some time for reading. Reading doesn’t feel like ‘doing’. I’ve got a stream of consciousness document going where I keep all the bits and pieces for pulling together. The things on my list are a bit like pretty butterflies flying around and trying to distract me – or attract me – to them instead of the thing I’m doing.
Going to drop this Equity in Education link in here (from BCCampus) as it’s one of the things I’ve been looking at. I really like the infographics and they may inform some of the concept map work I’m going to do next week. Also this ACE Framework that Liesel sent. I’ve found a couple of online conferences to look at for November as well.
Since I’m writing this from the future I can say that that I gave myself a little (head) space on the weekend and feel better about the week to come and the work there is to do. I had some thoughts on time for this post that I’ve forgotten now – it does go by rather quickly though. I came into Monday feeling more focused.
