Kick in the Butt!
Well I got back my results for my first assignment in over 30 years and was really quite shocked at how badly I have done. This is the assignment I felt confident that I had done well. So look out number 2. I have been a Teacher Librarian for quite a while and have just won a position because of my experience and expertise and I thought up until today that I was quite good at my job. I have yet to see the comments to see where exactly I went wrong but I know and I have always known that I am perhaps not an academic type TL but more of a practical hands on .. do the job type. It is such a shame because I know that now more than I was at teacher's college or when I have tried to further my studies before that I am ready to do this now .. I thought my mind is in the right place and I get what I am reading and can relate to it. But obviously that is not enough .. I need to really let go of everything else and focus...

Gai! I know this is of little comfort to you, but I also received the ol' kick in the butt today with a very disappointing result back for Assignment 1. I could not stop crying, because like you I was expecting a half decent score. The fact that we have spent hours of blood sweat and tears putting the thing together makes it all so frustrating, and to be honest, I felt like chucking the whole TL course in!! It's going to take a hell of a lot of determination on my part to lift my chin, grit my teeth and get back in there and give that second assignment a good ol crack. Thanks for sharing - I don't feel so alone now. Jo
