I am sitting here on my couch on Saturday remembering that I must blog about yesterday while my mom putters through the jewelry she brought (she sells it) I cannot believe that we have one more full week and then just a few days. I feel equal parts sadness and panic. Sadness because it will be over already and then panic because I have A LOT to do. This has been a crazy week for me with family visiting and being sick and so I feel behind but I will catch up. :)
I really enjoyed the botanical gardens but was really distracted. I kept seeing all these things to take pictures of- hence my perspective writing about the photographer and here is one sample- so that was distracting... my mom was at my apartment and I was excited to see her but also working in my head all that needed to happen, etc... it was hot and well I was a bit brain-dead.
Many of us felt this way and were discussing how it was good for us to experience that because its the same things our students go through and we need to be cognizant of the fact that they don't always have a thought to write about or cannot get focused enough to get it out. That being said. I still tucked away several ideas and I m re-visiting a short story that I started with my students. Always focused on the horse because that is the other part of me but still. Its good... this week started with my demo, I got sick and then we ended with a lot of heat. But I also got to spend quite a bit of time w/ Ann, Ashley and Donna because we all rode down together and that was such fun. We are here to write and write a lot and to hone our craft so that we can increase our student's abilities but we are also here to network, build friendships and learn with each other. I felt for me, that a lot of yesterday was focused on the relationship aspect and it was sweet!
