snapdragon76I was supposed to have a meeting with one of the supervising librarians I’ll be working with for my Practicum this coming semester, but when I showed up, she wasn’t there. I guess she’d forgotten she was supposed to meet with me or something, despite the fact that we had this meeting set up for over a week. Her GA was there and he spoke to her and basically the gist was that I can pop in anytime during school hours to start on my hours. However, there’s more stuff that I need to speak to her in person about, so we kind of set it up where I will stop by on Monday during school hours (so 1:30 or so) so that we can get together and set up a schedule because I need something concrete to turn into my instructor. I have a tentative meeting with the other supervising librarian for next Wednesday at 10:30 in the morning so we can set up a schedule. Hopefully no other calamities will befall me.
I’ll get my loan money sometime around the 19th or so. I’d like to get it earlier so that I can get the books I need (one of which costs $150.00!!!) and stuff like that before classes actually begin. Why they don’t take this into consideration when they distribute the funds, I have no idea…
One of my instructors did open the class online already so we can get an idea and read the syllabus and the assignment schedule. There is a loooooot going on this semester. Not only the Practicum, but the other classwork as well. I also have to videotape me doing a lesson as well as having two observations of conducting a lesson. That is what I’m most nervous about. Not just due to my voice issues, but my Social Anxiety as well. Public speaking has never been a strong feature of mine. I can do one-on-one instruction and small group, but standing up in front of a classroom and conducting a lesson is a whole other matter entirely. Hopefully I won’t fuck things up too much.
I hope I can be able to keep up with all of my classes while I’m doing my Practicum hours. I’ll just have to make sure I go to the library afterwards so that I can focus and get everything done. I won’t be sad once I graduate since I’ll be done with all of my schoolwork. I also have to set up a time to do my Oral Presentation in October. I’ll probably nail down a date once I finish setting up my schedules for my Practicum.
I’m STILL waiting for my Praxis scores. Hopefully I’ll get them soon, especially since I have to put them in my portfolio for my Final Presentation. Wish me luck!!
