Today marks the official start of module 3. Really hard to believe I'm on the last module already. Friday we had our welcome back skype, in which we got a tour of myunihub. SO helpful. I WISH I'd had that last year when I came on board... it look me literally months to sort through some of the stuff that Adesola was showing us. Practically speaking, I still find myunihub very confusing for nontraditional international students, but with only one more semester to go I'm not all that motivated to do more than I need to do with it to finish.
Today might be the first week, but it's coming after several weeks worth of prep for me. A week and a half ago I had a major snafu threaten to hijack the ballet part of the research process. My ballet class was cancelled due to lack of enrollment (a common problem in the rural area where I live). Luckily my network of fellow teachers have kindly found offered a few of their own classes to allow me to complete my research... Now I have to hammer out the details and timing, but it looks promising.
I know the writing process will be long, but in some ways I can't wait to "finish" research and get into writing and presenting. I've always found the writing process much easier than the research process, especially since performing my own research with the corresponding ethics and consent paperwork is totally new for me, and thus more stressful.
How are others, especially module 3s, feeling about the coming work?
