1. I have been working on this submission for a conference. I finished it yesterday, but I have been feeling a bit insecure about it. I wasn't sure if it was good or not, obviously that is why I was insecure. I showed it to one of my committee members/mentor and he said it was perfect, and great, and he loves me. Well the first two are true. I always doubt my work, but then it is always better than I think! So that is awesome.
2. I submitted it! I will find out soon if I am accepted! Fingers crossed.
3. I had my other committee member/department chair/ mentor come evaluate the class I teach. I was so nervous, and the students threw some tough questions out I was not expecting. I didn't get to see her after the class let out but she sent me this
"I thought you were amazing! You are one of the best discussion facilitators I've seen! What that means to me is that you were able to take their comments and pull out the aspects that contributed to the larger discussion. It also means that you were asking good questions. You had very effective responses to some of the more "off target" (wrong) comments. You gently pointed out what was wrong about the answer and leaving their self concept intact. The number of students who participated was really large. This suggests that they feel comfortable commenting -- they're not worried about you or their classmates jumping on them. You also have a nice sense of humor that came through at appropriate places. I loved your class! It went by really fast! "
OMG RIGHT!
4. I just sent one of my idols a link to my Girl Land blog, and asked her to review it. A little ballsy, but hey I am feeling real good!
So you can see why I am feeling good today! Hurray for me! I should read my horoscope and see whats up.
