Tuesday

     Tuesday, we got to see Billy navigate in his building.  He seemed a bit turned around, and I wonder if it was because of all the people sitting in the chair area.  I wonder if their presence had an impact on Billy’s focus?   I know I would have been more self conscious, but then again, not much seems to faze Billy; he’s so chill under blindfold.

     It was pretty interesting to see Amber when she got disoriented after coming down the stairs into the entrance.  She didn’t know what set of stairs she was on.  It’s funny how quickly our stress and confusion color our impressions and makes it hard to remember what’s going on.  I think it might have been that she was so turned around the first time she learned the route.  It’s hard to make good, solid memories of routes when your brain is otherwise occupied with other things like stress and everything else in the environment.

     I’ve been thinking about the whole being right while teaching thing, and I think I am really going to try focusing less on being right and more on finding a way that works and seeing how that goes.  I think if I act more confident in my teaching choices, I’ll seem more confident and things will go more smoothly.  We’ll see how that goes this time around.
