Well, the class at least ended on schedule.
Though it’s not necessarily over – it’s part of a 3-course cycle, and it’s kind of ambiguous whether I’ll be taking the other two courses (or which courses there will be – this was the general intro, then the material branches into three different tracks). However, that’s months in the future. Their next semester starts in two weeks, and I will be skipping that semester. But perhaps the one in three months time.
I remain unsatisfied and vexed by the whole experience. I tried to talk to the instructor about it today, but I couldn’t articulate what was bothering me. So it came out all wrong.
I am sure that I learned something – I certainly worked hard enough at it, and there were challenges. And if nothing else, I have a huge pile of resources. But now I have to put together a kind of recap presentation to my boss, and possibly a ‘share the knowledge’ kind of presentation to my coworkers, and I’m struggling with how to manage the positive framing that will be necessary.
And we are facing yet another postponement for the ranch. It is frustrating – I am requesting time off for this, and then resetting and resetting and resetting those requests. And of course, that’s just one part of the frustration. The big part is just not having this done with.
But hey! Another weekend that we could go do stuff and the ranch, if we so desired.
Well, you could get more rocks. Buffye wanted some but I had to tell her they were all claimed. And you said you had sandstone which is also desirable. I know your favorite thing is gathering up rocks, especially those big heavy ones. I feel bad even suggesting you go get more. We have enough. We have more than enough. Sad that access is going to be forever lost.
What is the delay this time? More of same?
I am sorry your class was unsatisfactory. Sounds frustrating, especially the having to share in a positive way what you are not even sure of yourself yet.
