Skype Session with Adesola

This morning I found myself (finally!!) being able to take part in a Skype session with Adesola, the first session that I have been able to arrange since starting out on BAPP. Due to either heavy work commitments or an awful internet connection, this simply hasn't been an option for me until now. Luckily for me, I seemed to be the only person that was available for the morning call which allowed me in essence a 50 minute one-to-one with my personal advisor-something which I was very grateful for having not been able to make any of the campus sessions either. What particularly struck me was the importance in having the outside view of someone else. Reflection has been a key tool thus far on this course but in looking back on journals/previous work etc it is still your own, very one-sided view on things. Talking with Adesola was extremely beneficial in that she helped me to look at things from an outsiders perspective. "If you met yourself walking down the street, the version of you that never started out on BAPP, what would you tell her about what you know now?" I am also feeling slightly more confident about beginning work on my final hand-in for May. Overall it was nice to be able to be reassured from somebody in person that yes I may be on the right track in what I have learnt, but helped me look from a different perspective about how this new knowledge is helping and shaping my professional practice.
