Negotiating stormy waters

Hi Jenny

Your blog is fab and I am enjoying reading it – when I get chance! Still cannot remember my password to post a comment so maybe I will get chance to do another one (maybe).

It’s quite strange really as when Jenny and I started to work on the table I thought hey, this lady is really keen and as I am ‘driven’ to get the most out of the course that was ‘ace’ I needed some motivation.  When we did the table I noticed Jenny had shortened it to 3 columns and I did make a comment asking if she had merely forgot the last one. However, I looked closer and thought well, Jenny seems ‘right on top’ of this reflection and she is obviously working at a deeper level, so she has probably summarised everything and the colours are fab. In anycase, Jenny Moon will be reading it and we have spent ages already so, time and tide………..let the comments flow….and I deleted my brief comment.

Maybe that is a reflection of my own insecurity and that often I do tend to sit in the background and accept the consensus of opinion – never thought of that before really. One thing that is really bothering me though is getting a handle on this conception of knowledge business and, applying it to my own reflection. The person who wishes to research with me next year seems to think my project is just the business in this area, yet, I can’t see that ……..it seems too deep, too wordy for my liking.

Will spend tomorrow searching for some understanding. I always tell my students that when doing their dissertation they are Master and Commander of their ship, they need to specific north, due north, south, due south………I too feel ‘Master’ in this project, but it’s very scary and the waters are indeed stormy……. bon voyage Bernie
