Personal Reflections on Fieldwork 1

Do you know how hard it is to hold up a camera on a shelf with one arm for 40 minutes on end? If you do not, the answer is it is very hard. I had to do this multiple days during fieldwork. By the end of the session my arm had a groove in it. And yet I still had to provide feedback for the fieldwork. So I had to focus enough on my colleagues in order to be able to complete the sheets we had to fill out. And I couldn't fill them out on the spot due to the aforementioned camera holding. Nor could I fill it out immediately after since I had a class afterwords. So I often had to look up the sheets other people published to jog my memory. My point is it wasn't fun.
