Day 2 of PTLLS - Reflection

So day 2 of PTLLS has come and gone and it was another enjoyable day. I arrived with my concerns as I always seem to do. I had worked hard on my Assignments but I still hadn’t finished them. It had been a busy two weeks and even though I had put off as much other things as I could there were still things that I could not like singing in a concert. I am not very popular with some people, the guys I sing with are not too happy that I have had to miss rehearsals and my social life has suffered too with friends saying they need more attention. Sadly they will all have to put up with this until Christmas.

This time I ensured I was on time by being early into the office. I had to print off all of my work to go into my folders anyway and I knew that there was only one serviceable printer from before the weekend. When we went into the classroom I found that this time I would be sitting with Debbie and Andrew. I did feel quite crestfallen at the idea of working with the latter as he is usually much quieter than even I am. However I found that today he was positively chatty. In fact I got into a conversation with him at one point and thought he would never stop talking. Perhaps I have entered the twilight Zone? As it turned out the three of us worked very well together and came up with some interesting hypothesis.

I was also a little worried at first when Jean said she had an Icebreaker she wanted to do with us. I recalled from last time that she said she wasn’t a big fan of them. Neither am I but as it turned out it was quite a good one that looked at the different hemispheres of your brain. I think it is because I am a little ambidextrous that I had little problem with this. It is the memory games I particularly hate as I have the remembrance of a goldfish.

We ran through various parts of the PTLLS book with Jean. The book does seem to be in a strange order though. Not one I have been able to work out either. The part of the class I tend to find most daunting is the end. It is when Jean starts to tell us what we need to do for next time that I begin to get stressed and I know most of the others feel the same way too.

One thing I know about myself is that I am very visual. For one thing I never forget a face just as I can rarely recall the name that goes with that face. For me and some of the others in the group it would suit us if Jean actually wrote down on a flipchart what our assignments are. It does not seem to work with me ticking them off or writing them down myself. Please do not ask me why as I have no answer for you. It just does not.
