Reflection - Morning @ 6:45am
Just sitting here on the patio over looking the campus. The mornings have a very quiet and relaxing effect on me. As I was pondering and reflecting this morning on my what I had learned yesterday. It came to me that this overwhelming mountain of information and work had pushed the limits of what I and the group had done before. We as a group had succeeded in accomplishing the tasks we were given collectively with out any external rewards or punishments, or competition. What a great sense of accomplishment I feel today. This is brent checking in :-)

Reflection 20 July 07
Emotions have been up and down the last few days, because of the overload of information. Tonight I feel a bit tense, stressed and tired because of the personal mental energy I output today. I know others gave more in different ways helping me and others, and I hope by my sharing of what I could bring to the table was beneficial to someone. It is hard mentally for me to work hard to find solutions and results don't come. When I give to the community it is much easier to ask the community for help. I also feel good if in some way I can aid on of my cadre.

What is holding the fab4 together? Tables, chairs, computers, the "room", food card, no car, logo lego's and the deep desire to get our car working. Today has been very stressful for me. My computer kept kicking me off of the net, which in turn made me not be able to follow along with the instructions and practices today. I feel like I missed information which I really needed instruction on. Enjoying working on the lego project with the fab4, and it is always interesting who takes the lead on different parts of the project.
Why my frustration, I am so programmed to do good and when I feel like I am failing, its hard on me. I want deeply to do good, and succeed and become the best me!!!!!! When I feel like I am not gaining it effects me to the core. Another one of my issues.

My biggest fears would be?
I would probrably have three areas 1. The time constraint
(trying to manage family, work, and school). I fear that I will not be able manage enough time for everyone, and my learning process. 2. The fear that I won't have my skills at a level to be able to function with the cadre and be a productive member. 3. My last fear would be able to maintain my stress level and sanity

My biggest hope would be?
To be able maintain a high level of excitement that will keep me leaning forward through this learning process. While changing my way of thinking how/what learning is, and how to find it. Then be able to take it and run forward, while sharing it with anyone who will listen
