Allrighty, so it's now been three days and the momentum just keeps on bilding.
On the second, tuesday 7th of february, was the day we were told about the digital stories, and were shown the videos we all had prepared in advance. It's was nerve wrecking to watch the videos before ours. They were done in a totally different manner and I felt the tension creeping in- would anyone laugh? would they understand it was done in a joking manner? how fast can I run out of the classroom?
In the end it wasn't that bad. At last a few people laughed, eventhough the voice was so low (still don't understand why, blody computers...). It was really interesting to see, how every country had their own style and genre.
Finally, at the end of the day we had the International food market. I really, really, really loved it. Good food, Good drinks, Nice people. It was fun to actually be ourselves and get to know each other. :)
Third day was a bit interesting - some of finnish students, including myself, had to do an exam about first aid in the morning. After that, we returned to the normal schedule. First we heard about the curricula and mentoring in different countries. Personally, I found it fascinating to hear, how our studying differs. I don't wanna give too much away, cause the Finns are yet to give their presentation. But you'll see on friday, promise.
In the afternoon we talked about learning theories. At least for me, they were pretty familiar from my psychology classes. To me, it felt more like an exercise about teamwork and a way to let us get to know our groups. In the end, we had a little time to talk about our tasks for the Mine- ip. I feel our group is amazing and it's really nice to get a little insight of each of us.
See y'all tomorrow
I agree the groups are amazing and everyone is working really well together - and dare I say it, enjoying working ?
VastaaPoistaThe Finnish country video was fab - I loved it :)
Thank you very much. That's nice to hear. :)
VastaaPoistaAt least our group is AMAZING. I love how well we work together and how everyone's work ethics are. This seems like a real treat to me and it's going to be very difficult to return to my normal every day studying. :'(
