I am preparing myself to have a meltdown because the logistics for this "service learning experience" are fucked. Our lab instructor did not attend the first session or offer any actionable insight to us, the students, or apparently to the center director (although she's a bit of an unreliable narrator if experience serves me right, so - who knows there!) and much of the observation we did was useless for the actual camps we're supposed to implement. And the time of day is a little bit fucked because it means we might be stuck with a classroom that's a) outside b) trying to have circle time or c) trying to get ready for outside or d) doing laundry and/or e) the lead teacher isn't there which is always a little squicky from the educators' perspectives. We aren't really being given guidance as far as how many kids/the vibe/what to do exactly and although I can and probably will call or message them directly once we figure out who's doing which class I want to fucking scream because why is this like this?
Thank you for holding space for my meltdown. I would rant more, but I cannot at this time.
One of my main takeaways from Neuro-occupation lecture so far is that the brain needs chaos to thrive, so at least I have that going for me.
Besos.
