Reflection block 2
When I look back on block 2, I can say that this block was really different than the first block. And then you can ask why?
Well, the online environment was the same, the classmates where the same and the lockdown was still the same. What was different from the first block is the fact that the most of the courses we had this period, don’t have an actual exam but assignments when have to do. I could have done my administration better during this block when I looked at my agenda. I got an apartment in the city and moved to Groningen. I had to a lot of stuff for my move to Groningen so my thoughts where somewhere else during 2 weeks.
I could have planned it better but instead of that I moved a lot of things to the holidays. Normally, I do a lot of work during the holidays but because of the weird situation in the lockdown I needed the vacation to rest and to get some new energy. Because we already had almost half a year of online courses, my motivation and concentration where sometimes lagging. For myself, I had the thought that we would have real classes in the next block and that helped me with getting my motivation to fulfil all courses as good as I could do.
Looking back on my learning objectives, I am happy with my progress of my English and happy to say that I could use my knowledge in a good way this period. The organizational advice assignment, we did at the hockey club where I work. So I could use my connections and was happy to do research of some things in my own area. The part of paying attention didn’t really improved. Not only because of my energy but also because of the fact that I moved to Groningen and busy with a lot of things in my mind. But actually I don’t see this as a big negative point. That’s because I found my way of doing thing in my house in Groningen, and don’t have to pay attention at this in the next, hopefully, physical block. In this way I have all my attention to school in the next block when new impressions are there. I am really looking forward to the next period and the fact of meeting my classmates and teachers in real live.
