Not-Much Monday 

 

 

Hey Journal! Waddup! For real, if always feels odd when weekend comes, since I don’t get to share my day with you, since, we’re exclusively tasked to write on our internship experiences, or any matter related to it, hence, during Mondays, I really feel that excitement, to get to share with you what went through, you feel me?  

 

Anyway, nothing really much went today in terms of internship other than me contemplating on some details for my lesson plan. I’m still not sure as to whether or not I’ll be the one doing the demo teaching next week, but, still, I’m tryna plan ahead, just so I can work on tiny things, you know, small progress is still progress. Yeah, aside from me traveling all the way from Balingasag to CDO to claim my internship polo - which I felt super hysterical about just because the polo shirt is way too gorgeous! Oh the urge to hope for face-to-face classes huehue. Aside from that, not much really om internship matters. However, we were told though by Maam Adeva that we’re gonna meet tomorrow for some news, owww, I think that news maybe is going to be big, in some ways, I don’t know. And as you might’ve noticed, here I am, writing on you just so I can share my sentiments for the day.  

 

I think that’s it today? I guess! Thank you for being always the catching pot of my daily thoughts, Journal, I deeply appreciate it! Take care and I guess I’ll see you around! Sir J out!

 "Your demo will be next week , Sir Jes" 

 

JOURNAL!! I AM HYPED RIGHT NOW! I can’t contain my inner hysteria! You wanna why? Of course you do! So, we just had our meeting with Maam Dev, the best CT in the planet, and she already confirmed that I’ll be doing my final teaching demo next week!! Isn’t that an exciting news? To be honest though, I am nervous as well, not because of the fact that I’m gonna be talking to a new set of students, but because of my not-so-stable internet connection. Journal, please pray that I won’t be having tech difficulties when my demo comes huhu. Anyway, I’ve been plotting all things that I’ll be implementing during my teaching demonstration and I’ll be writing my lesson plan already, anytime soon. I don’t know, other than me being worried about tech problems that might take a toll on me, still, I am excited to do my teaching demo already. Yes, the urge of hoping for a face-to-face internship is still here, especially that I saw the news last night about the apparent face-to-face classes for grade schoolers, it just amplifies that urge more and more. But, yeah, I don’t wanna be expecting anything.  

 

I think that’s it for this beautifuly Tuesday, Journal! See you around and you take care!

Waking up the Right Way 

 

Journal! Call me crazy or whatever, but the moment I woke up, my thought process immediately jumper into my teaching demo’s temperature check, lol. Weird right? I was in that zone of thinking for the reason that I do not know, though, it really happens a lot, even if it’s not about acads. Anyway, of course, I prayed first and did my breathe-in-and-out morninf ritual, gargled, and then, BOOM! To my laptop!  

 

Well, to be completely honest, I just drafted my ideas and gradually cut the unecessaries piece by piece and currently, I am left with two options. To add, I also listed matters to clarify to Ma’am Adeva and categorized the things I did ask today and those that I’ll be clarifying tomorrow - well, I didn’t wanna be too nosy or even annoying, so I had to pick my questions, right? Anyway, nothing really went that much today, BUT, I also had thoughts on the nearing Impromptu Competition of the XUJHS which I will be coaching one or a couple of students, however, that’s a topic for tomorrow so I am sticking with these at the moment.  

 

Catch you up soon, Journal! Sir Jes out!

The Orientation 

 

Journal! I hope you’re good and healthy! I’m currently in the bed as I write and I am drinking my coffee, ahhh, coffee, what a life saver, right journal? I reckon you drink lots of coffee since you’re always up with that blank slate letting me be expressive in all ways, huh?  

 

Anyway, today, it was quite huge as well, not in the most extreme of ways, but it’s huge in a sense that we had our orientation for the XUJHS Impromptu Competition which will hold next Friday. The orientation was actually more on just the mechanics and rules, and all about the breakouts rooms for Impromptu, right? However, I kinda did feel excited knowing that I am going to coach one student for the Impromptu competition, and although I still do not know who I will be coaching, I have a feeling that it’s gonna come from Arrupe, as said as well by Maam Dev. It’s just that I’m still tentative about that since I have Consunji and Hurtado as my section assignments also. Anyway, hopefully the coaching will be smooth snd more importantly, fun, and I also very much look forward to have that rapport be established really between me and the student participant whom I’ll be coaching.  

 

Journal, to be honest with you, it’s been mentally draining for like almost three years now, you know, the online classes and all these craps going around our world, more so, the education field, but still, I gotta fight through it and be gritty! I guess I’ll be seeing you around, Journal! Sir Jes out!

Typically Good Ideal Friday 

 

Hey Journal! 

 

It’s always odd to have a week not-so-busy, like, I can parallel the feeling to when you just got off a rigid semester and all of a sudden, you do nothing and the anxiety of not doing anything yet feeling that you’re supposed to do something, even though there’s nothing really to do? You feel me, don’t you Journal? I mean, that’s just me and I don’t know about y’all, but yes.  

 

Well, this week, there’s really not much in terms of the task given by Maam Dev, however, the lesson planning has been coming out of the picture each day, but it’s been all good, by far. 

 

Journal, today, I polished my Lesson Plan, basically all throughout the day while doing browsing for videos intended for my demo next week. When afternoon came, I was able to pass the Lesson Plan already to Maam Adeva, and currently, I’m just waiting for all her suggestions regarding my LP. Also, as I write, we just concluded our Friday Sesh with Maam Nads, our Internship Supervisor and I was to have expressed my sentiments on my experiences for the week, which wasn’t really much, however, I’m just appreciative about how the session today went. 

 

That’s basically it for me this week and that’s a wrap! See you soon next week, Journal! Take care!
