I'll have to give my first lecture here on peer relationship next Monday. Yes, I'll show some of your photos in class. I can't show them all or I'll have to teach the whole semester. And all I'll have to do is to have slides of your photos in class. :P

Thank you so much for sending me all our photos. That's how I can have a collection of photos to select the ones that fit my lecture.

Weeks ago I was dreading about the lecture. Very frightening to have 160 students sitting in the lecture hall. That is 320 eyes looking at me. But when I begin to work on it, I feel more prepared.

This afternoon in the group counseling session, my counselor said I can actually make use of humor. Make fun of myself, tell them I'm anxious and ask them to help.

So, I come back, work on the Powerpoint and my lecture notes again. I feel a lot better to think about to give a lecture this way. Not to hide about what I worry and anxious about. But to let them know. Be open and ask for help.

I'm just feeling relieved. :)

I will also have a presentation in class this Thursday. I still haven't got the readings done yet... When these two are done, I'll really have to focus on my two papers and final exams.

Then, it's the semester break!!!
