Back to it..

I have a mixture of emotions continuing on my BAPP journey. Most of it is excitement for the upcoming journey ahead but there is definitely some apprehension that goes along with it. Having the re-introduction Skype session definitely helped me get my mind back on the right track and gave me a good insight on what I hope to achieve with Module 2, but also left me with a lot of questions I had to ask myself on exactly how I will approach this study time and how I will cope with the logistics of it.

Paula and Adesola encouraged us to personally look back and reflect on what we had learnt from Module 1 in order to aid us during Module 2. One thing that stuck with me the most from the skype session was the sense of community. As the large majority of this course is just me, my laptop and my own ideas it was a very refreshing reminder that I'm not on this course by myself and I really liked that as I read through the handbook, more of this course seems to be based around group thinking (SIG's, blogs etc) and interaction closely with others with like-minded interests.

After reading through Ben's blog post on this topic and speaking with him at length in person, I also find time management to be an issue. A sense of routine and an allotted time during the week to address my tasks at hand will be imperative to me in order to stay on top of my work this module.

I enjoyed the re-introduction session and found it to be a very useful step forward to getting everyone prepared for the upcoming module. Good luck to everyone and look forward to reading others blogs soon.
