Some things look better in single space.

I'm supposed to be writing a reflective journal for my educational psychology class, but I can't seem to focus on what my reflection actually is.

My first reflection encompassed my teaching ideals and why I believed in them. This deuxieme reflection demands that we look back upon our initial beliefs which we reflected on, and reflect on them again to see if any changes have taken place over the course of the semester. We need to remark on why they have changed, or why they are still stalwarthy in their setting.

Justifying your beliefs is an action I believe that most people lack in our day to day, fast pace, always have something to do society. However, when the most you have done to reflect since your last reflection is to put names to particular philosophical or pedagological values, it's awfully difficult to move forward in a deep, and introspective way.

You can only call a can a cylinder once before people understand your viewpoint. I mean, really, there may be a few new dents, perhaps a new label around the can, but I for the life of me can't find any true change.

Which leads me to my current problem. How do I fill two pages with nothing? Oh. Don't get me wrong. I can fill two pages with nothing, but I'm past the point in my academic career of wasting my own time filling pages with empty trite to satisfy someone else's expectations of what they believe is learning. My swiftly shrinking options are to write a candid article as such, add depth to my original beliefs, or a mix of both.

And I believe this exercise has come to an end with the conclusion I was hoping for.
