Morning reflection

Posted January 25th, 2008 by zouita

It is so difficult to start any assignment, especially at the beginning of a course. It gives me a severe headache when starting to jot down my reflections after reading any particular article. I got up this morning feeling that I have not slept for ages and I strongly need a certain medecine to calm down my nervousness and cater for my lonliness. I am writing to say that I have at least started to experience something new in my learning process.

Zouita, I am sorry to read that you are feeling stressed. I hope this isn’t specifically due to this session. It should not feel like a duty to get things done here, rather an opportunity to reflect, discuss and learn. There is certainly no one who will admonish you for anything you do or say, as long as you stick to the etiquette expected in such situation (which you obviously do :-) ).

And you are most certainly not alone. We are here to accompany you on this journey through Social Media. Hopefully this message will provide a bit of medicine for your soul.

I am glad to read that you are experiencing something positive, despite the headaches. Could you expand on this? I also know the feeling. I have also felt like smoke was coming out of my ears and my brain was overheating at so many new ideas.

Please let us know how we can help you.

Zouita, I’m sorry to read you’re stressed out.
The articles and the discussions are thought provoking. Too many ideas,
they get stuck. Everybody here will understand you. It has happened to
me (not right now as I’m on holidays, well… actually, I have to admit that sometimes I cannot organize my thoughts even now that I’m supposed to be doing nothing) and i’m sure the other
participants have felt like this sometime.
You say you’ve "started to experience something new in my learning process". That’s fabulous. And extremely moving too.
Keep coming and sharing your thoughts. You’re not alone.
