Saturday/Sunday.

Same ol'. Same ol'.

Wake up.  Make coffee.  Walk dog.  Throw away poop.  Back home.  Drink coffee.  Read email. Bored reading of FB.

OK. Make something to do! ah, yes...

Next focus work at McCallum for Dana Leong Trio and the, *lack* of technology. Now, onto the TA's role of making it happen w/o technology.  Again, working in a vacuum. Argh.

Transcribed notes from Friday's brainstorm and emailed to other TAs. check.

Listened to DLT music and tried to pair WOA (work of art) to music selection. Jeeeeeezzzzzzzzz. Finally, emailed other TAs and Karen (thank you, Diva!) for responding in an equally confused position.

Conclusion:
It is all the same.
Chaos/order/chaos.
Chaos/control/chaos.
Chaos/anger/chaos.
Chaos/apathy/chaos.
Chaos/peace/chaos.

Where the heck am I really going with the rest of this time?

Is it really important or valuable to attempt to make order out of chaos, which ultimately will return to chaos?

Where is the lesson?  Why is the knowledge acquired challenged so voraciously? How is it acceptance is so hard? Why are patterns so ingrained?

As an educator, we look at patterns and applaud the student who sees the pattern.  Perhaps to applaud the student who refuses the pattern? Who defies the pattern? Who becomes the new lesson of choice? And to do this and not revert into chaos?

Hummm... So, happy Sunday night.

Onward.
