Two more days to go

I’m tired, but satisfied. I’ve passed two out of four days of the training, and so far everything went well. My most concern was the participants. From my experience presenting and observing in Jakarta, some participants were silent and less expressive, even though they were cooperative. I anticipated worse situation than that in Jakarta. Fortunately, it didn’t happen. Though many of them came late, they were not only cooperative, they were very eager to do anything I asked them to do. No complaints, no reluctant, let alone ‘bete’, faces.

My second concern was today’s sessions. Among all topics I have to present in this training, today’s sessions are scariest part. It was about lesson planning… Gosh! The Bloom’s, the objectives, the SOAR, the SMART, the ABCD etc… Last night I was really overwhelmed by these terms that I could hardly think clearly. I kept milling around in my hotel room trying to find ideas on how to make today’s sessions less boring (if I couldn’t make it interesting). It turned out that the participants were full of spirit when they had to share ideas, discuss, and develop lesson plan. I was so…so..so relieved. Though I don’t know (yet) their opinion on how I conduct this training, but at least from their responses in the first two days I can conclude that everything is going just fine.

I still have two more days to go. I really hope nothing will ruin this good situation till the end of the training. God help me…
