ANALYST WEEK 1

ANALYST (WEEK 1): 

At the begining of this work, our feelings were everything but calm. There were only questions in our minds, we didn't know how to play our roles but we did know that we wanted to do them good. That moment took me back to the first time I played basketball in a team. We all wanted to do our best; we knew the rules, but we didn't even know how to catch the ball or how to score the basket. We all knew that we had to cooperate and work hand by hand if we wanted to success. So we were like this team. After finally solving some problems and questions, we divided the work so that we could later explain to each other what we had done. Our first frutruation was that we found quite difficult to understand the text of TPACK, it was like a mathematic task. We understood the conexions but we couldn't understand well what they meant. That morning our faces and energy were similar as the reaction that some people may had experienced when they read that famous sentence of Nietzsche "God is dead". Nevertheless, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, isn't it? Tuesday 17.30h. Cold, so cold that our hands were as cold as snow. Some of us arrived later to the meeting due to traffic, and they were feeling a bit anxious for their mates who were waiting. When they arrived, they saw the pissed look in their friends' eyes, but at the same time that complicity that friends have. Work started! Hard, hard work. We spent hours and hours doing the task. So this was the time when the basketball team starts feeling confidence and has a shared aim in playing a succesful match. We helpt each other, we hesitate together and... we argued. This was the best as well as the worst part of the activity. We argued because some of us wanted to put some words of the poster in one way and the others in another way. This was that typical time when you don't know if you want to cry or laugh. After some indeterminate time, we finally agreed and we were happy with the decision. I learnt from this that one has to try to look deeper and consider another point of view, because sometimes you don't know that in fact, you are going to like it!.The work was finally finished and we were relieved.Next morning, terror moment time arrived! Mostly for our dear Star. I know she was scared but I could also see that she was feeling excited. We all trusted her and gave her our best luck, and she did it great. When the show ended, we all hug each other, and that moment was defenitely the best part. Although we were wrong in some aspects of our job, it was good to know and feel that every of us supported each other. Once again, this was like that match you have played that you know that it could have been done better but yet so you feel that you'll learn from that to do it better next time. That was it, first work done, ready and more prepare for the next. It was like if we could hear the spectators and cheerleaders saying: "Go Chalkies, go!!".
