MAC week ONE
Weekly reflections...... At this point, I am thinking there is a lot of work, but not a lot of hard work. The extras are what are really getting to me, there seems to be always "just one more thing," like a TB test or a back ground screening or MTTC testing or Cognates or... well you get the point. I am thankful some industrious individuals have started checklists and are taking the time to set up calendars or remind everyone at the end of each class period. I can definitely see how my cohort are going to be a great asset and I am already impressed with their faculties. I am not sure I have ever been grouped with such a smart and capable group; Will my ego will be able to handle it? At times I feel superfluous.

Dave,
I don't find the "one more thing" phenomenon as terrible, I despise the "tentative" nature of everything. "Make sure you plan everything...but everything is tentative." Nice.

With a picture like that, there is no conceivable way anyone could construe you as "superfluous" to the group dynamic. ;)
Seriously though - I feel you on the confusion of extra details. I'm like the Red Queen from Alice - running just to stay in one place! Hopefully at some point I'll figure out how to turn around and let myself be pulled in the right direction whilst looking over my shoulder.
It is a good group of people, isn't it?
I definitely feel ya on your comments about the extra details of the program. It seems like some of them could have been laid out and taken care of when we enrolled, long before classes started. However, like you said, it's nice to have such great classmates.
Also, I dig the pic.
Hi. Just a friendly tidbit of info: It's not "cohorts are;" it's "cohort is." I made that mistake on a paper not too long ago. Just letting you know.
Keep rockin the hawaiian style.

Hey Dave,
I am eagerly awaiting a new blog entry from you. After all, you did comment on mine. While I wait for the next entry, I must say that you're picture is funny and scary at the same time. I want to hear your thoughts on technology :)
