Year 3 Residency Day 4 – Are we done yet?
Today is the half way mark for this residency and I find myself asking “Are we done yet?” It’s not that I’m not having a good time or learning a lot, because I am. It’s just that this is hard work with a lot of loooonnnngggg days. I’m exhausted and still need to work on a 2000 word paper tonight along with yet another presentation. I’m also here alone and missing my husband and dogs very much right now.
My instructor and other University of Phoenix faculty keep telling us that the point of this residency is to a) teach us to think in a scholarly manner and b) get us out of our comfort zone and still be able to think in a scholarly manner. I think they are succeeding admirably! I’m definitely not comfortable right now!!! I’m feeling like they’re about to lose my ability to think in a scholarly manner however because my brain is quickly turning to mush. Ah well… on to a new day to see what it will hold.
