This week, we started up “poem of the week” again, this time with two in one week rather than just a single poem. The two poems were rather challenging for me, and it took a lot before I understood the interpretations of them. I learned to challenge myself to share my ideas with the group, even though that I was afraid I would be wrong. We also started a critical theory project where we got into groups with people we have never worked with before. I am working with two other people, and we decided to use the psychological approach to the play, Macbeth. I learned a lot through this actually. Our critical thinking intro notes helped me narrow down the ideas that I had. When we picked psychological, I jumped the gun a little bit, and wanted to learn about every theory and idea I have ever learned in my three psych classes. But, we were able to narrow down our ideas, and focus on a few very important things, rather than just taking the full picture and running with it. One of the biggest challenges for me, was trying to be open to other people’s ideas. I am pretty well rounded with psych ideas, so I thought that my ideas were the best. It took a lot for me to listen to my group members, and take their ideas into consideration, they were actually really good ideas. I am a very stubborn and vocal individual, so submitting myself to other group members and their ways of thinking is very hard for me, and something that I need to work on more.
