EDLD 5326 Week 2 Web Conference Reflection

I was surprised when I attended the web conference today to learn that I was supposed to be doing something else! I feel so overwhelmed with the responsibilities this program is requiring of me. Just when I thought I had most of it down- WHAM! another bomb! Today I learned that I am supposed to be doing "observations" with my field supervisor. I had been assigned a field supervisor in November of last year. I was unsure of what the role of that supervisor was, or my role either! So, as busy as I was, I just kept working on my degree - not thinking a second about this field supervisor. I am required to do 3 "observations" that are 45 minutes in length. They must be documented by recording a web conference or typing up a report of what we discussed. Really?! It would have been nice if this had been explained to me, let's say...a year ago! Then I would have been able to utilize them as a resource throughout my journey. Now I will be forced to cram in the last 3 classes my "observations"; now that I'm almost done with everything. I am hopeful that I will still benefit from my field supervisor and our "observations". Again, I wish I had understood more clearly what my/their roles were. Oh, well - Here we go!
