Day 1 of the official start date. We actually started last week and had orientation the week before. I had a frustrating time figuring out what my timetable was. I had to check emails and forum posts until I could find the times for each subject. Honestly, I don't know why they couldn't make it simpler for us. Talk about confusing. Giving us this essential information ahead of time would have been so useful. But I digress. So I'm pushing through task one of CDF (the child development subject). I'm struggling to keep my nerves from overloading. Task 1 of 3, before we even get onto the readings - God! so much to look forward to. We have to make notes for our timeline of childhood, then post a mindmap based on these notes in Teams. Well, I've finally been admitted into Teams. That's a start. The idea of doing a mindmap makes me want to scream - it's safe to do it while gargling since it doesn't disturb anyone. I've only written notes for the first two periods: the medieval child and early modern child. Three more periods to go. I found myself rolling my eyes before I could even attempt the Romantic Child. Spare me! It's going to be a loooong day. And boy am I stressed!
