i've decided to incorporate my real life (non-p.a. stuff)in all of this chronicle. it is, after all, my own experience- why not season it with my own flavor? since returning from the retreat, i find myself trying to apply the skills learned subconsciously.
in spite of the fact that my ENTIRE body aches beyond belief, i've tried integrating the mapping and engaging skills into projects at school as well as establishing S.M.A.R.T. goals. i think my classmates hate me for making everything more complicated than it needs to be.
i've also noted the insane parallels in my life. alverno has 8 key principles that are required criteria for graduation: communication, analysis, problem-solving, valuing in decision-making, social interaction, developing a global perspective, effective citizenship, and aesthetic engagement.
sound familiar to anyone?
