e-chronicle

At the start of the block-mode class recently, we were asked to come up with 3 tags to describe ourselves. It’s interesting to recall the 3 tags that I mentioned (I was the first to go, and I’m not particularly quick on my feet!), and how differently I feel now.

I said I was excited (about the course), committed (to do well), and apprehensive (about returning to study after an absence of 10 years). In hindsight, these 3 tags didn’t describe who I was; they merely described how I felt.

The excitement has been replaced by worry and more apprehension. I still want to commit myself to this, but am finding it tough to maintain an ongoing passion-based learning.

Anyway, if I could re-tag myself, I’d have said: perfectionist, pessimist, worrywart!
