End of Semester

What a slack blogger I've been!!! Slack, slack, slack... I know, I know...

Here's a quick fill-in. I finished prac, finished my presentation on "cognitive theories of learning" (do NOT ask me what Amy and I talked about for forty minutes as I DO NOT KNOW), finished my essay, finished my portfolio, did my exam this arvo, and am officially finished for the semester. (Pop! Streamers! Confetti! YAY! Little dance... BIG dance!)

I'm now ON HOLIDAYS for AGES. So... it's BOOT CAMP. No more junk food. No more laziness. I'm getting healthy before the onslaught of semester two.

I've added pics of my favourite thing I've been doing - we started on "Quandary" with a weekend workshop and photo shoot. Here's pics of me sitting between my two theatre children, Ann and Matt, at the reading, and the promo shot. All in a police lineup. Cool, huh?

The coolest bit is... did I do it? Am I a murderer? I get to choose - and no-one else will know except me.

It's a Quandary!!!

Random Thoughts On Productivity

*waves* Hi! Believe it or not, this isn't Michelle! My name's Amy, and I'm guest blogging today :)

Currently, Michelle is absorbed reading a chapter of the immensely shiny book, The Brain That Changes Itself, which discusses the newish concept of neuro-plasticity. Fascinating stuff, actually.

And, believe it or not, it's actually relevant to what we're supposed to be doing (unlike our brief interlude just now to watch Christian the lion on tv O:)): our Ed Foundations presentation. Sadly, although we've been 'working' on it for 4 hours now, we've not made terribly much progress. The textbook is so dry, so boring.... Really, I can understand why the other groups have resorted to a mere recapitulation of the text :S Ack.

We're struggling just to get through the material, let alone process it and come up with creative ways to present it. *stab stab*

And the most frustrating thing is that I know this information could be interesting if we could only wade through it :S

But, we are determined to do so, and to not only do so but to create an interesting presentation out of it, so I really should get back to it. Really. I should.

Sadly, I suspect that instead I shall go do a post on my blog for day... Oh well. There's always tomorrow!

O:)
