Brainstorming today - 2 hours approx of pulling, exploding, teasing, spitting, snapping, screaming, squirming, wriggling, exasperating, sliding, moaning, tensing and all the other adjectives that could be applied but aren't in my vocab, ideas onto little yellow post it notes - loved every minute of it!! Though i have to say, that by the end, i could actually feel my head swimming - something was gliding around my head in a singular current so that i didn't become sick or nauseous, and exhilarated would be too heavy on the opposite end - but calm movement - like a dream i had while in boarding school in Belfast - floating down a hill in a stream, blossomed trees, somewhere in Japan (a very typical, cliched scene, but overpowering and still in my memory, nonetheless) - I cold feel the neurons firing perhaps - or may exploding!!
And on this day, the first day i enjoy the course that i have originally chosen to undertake, is the day that i speak to the other teachers about moving onto the other teaching line - pure code. I want to put my feet to the fire, learn something new rather than get more experience in something i am already familiar with. it is no reflection on the teachers (though i think today one may have taken it a bit personally - don't blame him) or on the course they are teaching, but more on my own motives and goals that i want to set for myself - and as i have learned recently, i should set my goals much higher than i normally would and then i will come out achieving more than if i set them expectantly low...
