I thought it just made sense for me to continue my reflective diary on the blog space I had used for last year. This space shall be the place where all my thoughts stemming from my learning of systemic work gather. There is something "permanent" about leaving things on the Internet. I had looked through the entries from the previous year before starting this entry. The previous year seemed to have passed so quickly although it sure did not felt so when I was going through it. Having return for the second half of the training, I hope to anchor my learning from last year and hone my skills more through the extensive practice opportunities in this year.
This return is one filled with lots of mixed feelings. There have been a lot of changes in my personal and professional life since the end of the graduate certificate programme to the commencement of this master programme.
The current group seems to be quite different in composition from the previous group of mates from last year. There is no male in this group. I am the only International student whereas there were three of us from Asian last year. The average age is higher this year which also means the average years of practice among colleagues were way more than our average last year. We have a colleague who is on mobility aid to help her move around this year.
I am excited about the dynamic that would take place with the current cohort. I think the group is likely to bring on a different dimension to my learning given the range of differences from last year.
If the first two weeks were anything to go by, it appears that this is going to be a really hectic year packed with long days of learning and practice. Looks like time management is going to be crucial here.
No time to waste time!
