L2CiCS: Reflective Diary – 31st January 2018

By Iain 31 January 2018Qualifications courseworkNo Comments

This week’s Reflective Diary includes my thoughts on Sue’s presentation, as well as my reflections on our roleplays. To monitor our personal development, we were tasked with identifying responses in ourselves that occur during a helping interaction. We did this with several rounds of roleplay. The first roleplay of the evening was Emily as the counsellor, and I played the…

L2CiCS: Reflective Diary – 22nd November 2017

By Iain 22 November 2017Qualifications courseworkNo Comments

This week we watched some roleplays from YouTube. I found them to be quite wooden and badly acted, especially given that they were reading from scripts. We also did some roleplay of our own this week, focusing around using the formula for primary empathy. The formula is: Listening to what is said and taking time to understand what has been…

Where to go from here?

By Iain 13 February 2017Creativity, Reflections, Site RelatedNo Comments

When you hit rock bottom, they say you can see exactly how far you need to climb to get back to where you were. Sounds easy enough, but it's very foggy, and I'm not even sure if I'm going the right way. I hit rock bottom recently - I reached the end of a long, painful journey and stared into…

Missed opportunity?

By Iain 16 October 2015ReflectionsNo Comments

It's how I kinda feel about not writing little updates every so often when Jake does something amazingly cute or has a major breakthrough (like standing up unaided for 12 seconds - so awesome). It would've been nice to have chronicled his growth, but would I have spent too much time writing about what he has done while missing the…

An update on my 2014 targets

Jake was born in 2014 and that was amazing, but so many other things just didn't work out as I would've hoped this year, mainly because I never tried hard enough. I met some targets and I missed others but overall I think I need to just get away from this for a bit - it's getting a bit much…

22 days

Yes, twenty-two days without a post on here - some kind of record. A very bad record. I have time on the PC, but I have no idea where to start with anything, and I feel I have so much to do. And there's no telling how long it is before Ethan comes in and starts being noisy and very…

FRIDAY UPDATE ON A FRIDAY YEAH

By Iain 5 December 2014Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Well, this is novel. It's Friday and here is an update on a Friday. Well I never. So, what have I been doing? Not a lot. Just working at le Asda and chilling at home with Jane and Jake. They are both super awesome. Today we went to the new Sainsbury's that has just opened here in Waterlooville and it…

Fri… Nah, forget it.

Sorry it's been a while, I've just not had the time to come in here and sit down and formulate a post. I don't even think I'll finish this today to be honest. Just for reference, I started this at half three in the afternoon on the 17th of November, and now I have to dash. Ok, so here I…

It’s not Friday and this is not on time

By Iain 28 October 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Until I pull my finger out, there's only so much variation you're going to get in these updates to be honest. Jake gets bigger and more attentive. I do more than my fair share at work. "No YouTube stuff this week, sorry!". Hmmmm. I did actually do a video this week. Or was it the week before? And it wasn't…

Timely Friday update

By Iain 17 October 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Hey, I'm going to do a Friday update on a Friday for a change! I'm in the front room watching Jake while he sleeps rather than writing it in my study as usual, using my video-recoding laptop rather than the familiar keyboard on the main PC... I've never used this keyboard to type before, so I keep missing letters and…
