More about school
Jan. 9th, 2012 08:31 pmSo! I said I would likely post again...so I am.
This day turned out awesome, just as it started out to be! So...that's all good news.
My Admission Practicum, i.e. my observation class, has a lot of work to it. This work is mostly because our practicum assignments are actually building our online portfolios and resumes for the future--so I have to dissertations, philosophy statements, self evaluations, and complete a resume on top of observation periods in my assigned school. Still, it's rewarding and serves a purpose, so I don't think I'll mind much. I just have to be sure to stay completely on top of things.
My Japanese folklore class is going to be work as well. This is mostly because we are working with texts that have never been translated in their entirely. This means we will be reading them completely in Japanese. This is exciting, though slightly daunting considering the amount of studying that will need to go into this course. At least the material is interesting, and Nakamura-sensei is very dedicated to our success.
Speaking of Nakamura-sensei, I talked to him about being my third profession reference for my Practicum after class today. Not only did he agree, but apparently he used to be in charge of student teaching and the intensive graduate program for Japanese education majors. He is apparently very willing to not only be my reference but to also put me in contact with his contacts in the educational field. There is a reason he is one of my favorite teachers.
