Field Experience Hours Mix-up

Well, I found out what was happening to all of my Field Experience Hours. All of the syllabi for my education courses that dealt with field experience have stated to place the hours within the final portfolio. None of them stated whether the hours should be copies or original forms though, so I have been putting originals in, assuming that the teachers were going to turn in the hours all together. What isn't stated is that it IS the students responsibility to turn in the hours to the field experience office, and that the hours in the portfolio's should be copies, not originals.

Just thought you should know,

Finals Week

Sorry for my absence from blogging for the last couple weeks. After my senior recital, things got crazy really quick. I have had to deal with, and am still dealing with, several problems within the Education department concerning my field experience hours. I think there is not a lot of talking between people within the department, and that has led to misplaced forms and missing hours. As of Thursday, they sent out a letter saying that I had a total of 8 hours. I had recently turned in 94 hours worth of forms earlier that week, but apparently they had no clue. So now I have to meet with Phylis and provide proof that I even completed the hours. As you can imagine this has made the weeks leading up to finals, including dead week, very debilitating.

As for my senior recital, it went well. The only spot that really went remotely bad was one of the German songs, Fur Musik. I skipped from the first verse to the last verse, and by the time I realized what I had done, it was too late and I had to just finish the song. Other than that, though, I think the recital went ok overall. Now its just worrying about finals, and about keeping the music rehearsed for the trip to Scotland and England.

Later
