so, i got through my first week of classes okay. something i want to do a little differently this semester is spend more time reading and less time stressing out about reading. i'm not sure if that makes sense, but i guess what i'm saying is that i really want to read something every single night and make that a part of my practice (not just as a student but also as a person and a reader), but i don't want to stress about what doesn't get done. the truth is we're all doing the best we can and i have to respect myself and my capacity and not freak out about what doesn't get done.
that said, my first week of homework is feeling a little intense already, especially given the big things i need to get done at work this week. in terms of work, on top of all my regular stuff, i also have two events happening (the memorial service for dr sipe and another event later on next week). it's hard to think about homework with these time-sensitive things going on.
for my "(re)forming the elementary RWL curriculum" course, i have to read 7 articles and a book intro and write a 5-pager. for my "leading nonprofits" course, i have to read 8 articles and 4 book chapters and write what i think will be a 2-3-pager. sigh.
on top of all this, i also have a 12-pager due for my master's portfolio. i have no idea what that will turn out to look like. it's kind of scary. but like i said, i'm working on not stressing out. and i have faith that i'll get as much of it done as i can.
