The holiday is over so the Summer quarter is officially starting. The residency starts today but I am not there but will be in October. The classes that I am taking are Eco Systems Thinking for Sustainability (ESS 820) and Research and Writing (RW) VII. RW class we will be working on our dissertation. My goal for the quarter is to have my first draft of my literature review complete and to my mentor. I am missing Colorado Springs, I look forward to residency because I get to see my classmates and catch up with what has been going on with them since the last time I saw them. I guess this will have to wait until October, glad the majority of my class lives in Colorado Springs (COS).
I am in search of a book that will explain the book that I have "Being and Time" I have tried to read it but I am not understanding, wish I new German and could read the original transcript. Oh well have to find some Cliff Notes.
I am actually looking forward to my ESS class, this time it consist of a lot of reading and discussions. I am getting into the sustainability topic, I think it is very interesting although I lean more towards social sustainability.
Reflection
My first residency I will always remember that was the first time I met my classmates. Some of my classmates would become friends of mine helping me through this journey and life. One classmate I will always remember (names have been changed to protect the innocent), Dodge, actually he had several conversations prior to the residency. This is the story of Dodge and I meeting. I remember we had to post a biography of ourselves prior to residency, so I posted and what do you know I had classmates living in Houston. So Dodge responded and I responded back. Oh I remember Dodge called me like 10 times all nervous and stuff. I was like why you nervous. He was nervous because he had read our instructors bio's, I was like that is great though that means they will have a lot to teach us. So of course I tried to calm him down and make him see the good in the situation. So we had agreed to meet at residency so we could put a name with a face. Well he knew what I looked like becuase I posted a pic, he didn't post a pic and I really didn't think about asking. So off to COS we went. The morning that residency started I went down to the lobby of the hotel I was staying in and was greeted by more people than I thought would be there. Who do I first meet when I walk in the door, Dodge. So that was the beginning of our friendship.
The journey for Colorado Technical University- Cohort 22 began with 35 students.
