Oh help!

Hello!
I am soooooooo tired I can hardly type. This is only the second day of the course and I felt so disillusioned that I wondered whether I had made a big mistake. The input sessions, though hard going, are informative and interesting. We learnt about Kolb and Bloom’s Taxonomy-makes you feel so-well clever, doesn’t it? Haha! This early in the course we’re still coming to terms with the course content and getting to know the tutors. (I hadn’t realised we would have so many different tutors-so far we’ve met and had sessions with 4!!)
The second half of the session today was a real problem for me:online researching for policy documents, which will eventually contribute to the dreaded presentation and ultmately to the first assignment. I wouldn’t mind were it not for the fact that we’re working in groups, and I feel so terrified that I’m going to let my group down. All the other groups were whizzing through, and sounded like they had theirs all sewn up. We, on the other hand, hadn’t even managed to locate the correct flippin webpage!!!! By the time we got to the last ten minutes I was desperate for the final feedback.
On a lighter note, I have started my reading - one of the main books on the recommended list-About Language-tasks for English teachers. It has some great chapters-my favourite is the one on Phonology. I can’t wait to learn more on that subject-I would love to do my final research assignment on that topic.
Anyway I am really too tired to write any more. This is such a boring blog. I had visions of being chirpy and humorous………………….some hope!!!!!
