Journal Reflection

Tomorrow (4/7) I'm going to keep a journal documenting my work and school experience.

I look forward to the reflection.

Reflections on Today

A few words on today. It was both hugely typical and totally surprising.

I woke up a little late and arrived to work slightly later than expected ~9:30am.
I checked in with my boss and the team on a variety of subjects including: the increased flow of clients, bottlenecks in the resume revision process, and VOLUNTEER recruitment.

I made some calls to tomorrow's new class (cohort) of immigrant professional job seekers and the class is set to be my biggest yet (25 people).

Rushing out of the office, I just slipped into class as it was beginning. I got to work through a major conflict that occurred between myself and another classmate (and the entire group). Group dynamics is never just what it seems on the surface.

In my second class, I witnessed a surprising display of unprofessionalism by a professor. This isolated incident of a professor silencing one of my classmates really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not sure exactly what my reaction to the event will be, but I know the entire class was appalled by the way the feedback was delivered.
I really hope this does not reoccur. And don't doubt there will be some scathing comments on his course evaluation!

Sorry for the lack of detail, but it's late, I don't want to write anything I'll regret tomorrow and bedtime approaches.

Hasta manana,
Tadd
