This being my first ever experience of blogging, am feeling rather inadequate and like I probably should have posted more during my study of ETL401 than I have. Finding the time just to complete the readings, questions and assignments has been difficult, so I guess adding ramblings to my blog was always shoved to the lowest priority in the study box.
Due date for Assignment 2 is fast approaching, and I am amazed at the rollercoaster of emotions I have experienced while studying this subject. Apprehension, fear, confidence, shattered confidence, disbelief, utter devastation, intense anger, renewed determination, frustration, worry, stress, stress, stress, self belief, renewed vigour, hope, just to name a few. I certainly know I am alive, because I have experienced some really intense emotions over the past 3 months. Am still waiting and hoping for the other end of the spectrum - exaltation, joy, celebration and relief.
While stressful, the whole experience has certainly opened up my mind, and like many other students, am feeling a little foolish at the naive and view I had when originally starting out. Now the task is to try and articulate and accurately describe the transformation that has occurred in my thinking, and (this is the hard part) to try and describe why and how that happened.
Others have posted drafts of their Task C, but I am not confident to do so. I think I will continue to play with my synthesis "behind closed doors". It is very useful to look at the work of others, and there are a few key posters in the forums who post regularly, which the rest of us really appreciate. Perhaps further into my study, I will be one of those "key posters", but not just yet.
Back to the assignment.....
