Today wasn't very special; revision and confinement to my bedroom make part of my constant suffering. People may think that education is simply limited to the few hours you spend at your department. And when you go back home, all you have to do is put your feet up, and get much rest. Well, I may have to make it clear that things don't exactly go like that. If I study for about fourteen hours a week, their equivalent at home should be multiplied, at least, by four. I guess the image is clear in your head now.
So, let me move on now to talk about what I’ve done today. I woke up at about 8 am, washed up and got my usual yummy and balanced breakfast. It was basically made up of dates to dip in Bsisa, baked salad and Turkish coffee that I can drink with biscuit.
After finishing with my breakfast, I went straightway to my bedroom, and decided on carrying on with the revision of Pedagogical stylistics that I left unfinished yesterday. I spent about an hour trying to understand the final part dealing with Systemic Functional Grammar and searching it on the net. I was really surprised when I found out it was a bit complicated and that it would take me more than two hours to go through Michael Halliday's theory in detail. So, I suggested stopping there and going to the Conceptual metaphor summary I made yesterday. There were many rules I had to learn by heart concerning ontological, orientational and structural metaphors. I spent a little more than an hour an a half when it was 12:30p.m. Today is Friday, so I had to have my lunch quickly, perform ablution, and get ready for going to the mosque with my father.
When I went back home from Al-Jumu'ah prayer, I resumed with Learning theories. It was the last and lengthiest lesson I had to go through. However, I did manage only with eight pages from about a total of twenty-four pages!
That's all I have done today.
Good night.
