Starting back, beginnings

Starting/Starting back to MAPP.

I have posted before about how 'starting' or beginning comes in different forms. See this post
https://adesolamapp.blogspot.com/2019/01/beginnings.html 

But at the moment I am thinking about getting to the middle!! rather than thinking about beginning and ending - which we tend to do and dismiss the middle. As if the middle was just the vehicle for getting somewhere else. But as you know from my work - the process is the 'thing' the process is it, the journey is the learning part. So rather than think about making your study a compartment that must begin somewhere and end somewhere try thinking about how you get to the middle of it. How do you get to the point where you are in a routine, where you are familiar with some thoughts and books and people and they are mulling over in your head (in the supermarket or on the bus)? How do you get to enjoying the feeling of explaining an idea or dancing or reflecting on it in your journal that already has a number of pages you have written on? How do you get to your blog being a familiar place that you write in and have comments on and use to connect and comment with a group of students on MAPP you are fond of?

How do you get to be in the middle of your life not on its edges? That is what I am asking myself at the moment.

Welcome Back Skype - get ready!

We are looking forward to the Welcome Back Skypes on Friday and Saturday. If you have not Skyped with Adesola before you have to send a Skype contact request to Adesola. We can not find you, you have to send a message to us. If you are not in a Skype group titled for the date of the Welcome Skype you want it means Adesola does not have your Skype address/contact yet.

For those who are missing the welcome Skypes - all information is in the Handbooks (Skypes and campus sessions are not compulsory). But if you want to hear more about the sessions go to the blogs, read and comment there to continue the conversations in the Skypes etc...
