Contunuing Communications
Ok so i decided that it would be good to finally start my blog about continuing the conversation from my communications class. I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to write about but I'll probably go with what I learn, what we do in class and some personal thoughts and insight.
So I took this course because because my fiance told me that it would be a great class for me to take and that I would have a great time. So I thought what the heck I'll take it. The first day of class I got the worst perception ever! I thought we have to make a blog and use twitter1?!?! That is rediculous!! I was not excited at all about the class. I was told to drop the class but I thought that I would give it a week or two and see what happens. I know now why I thought it was a awful class I was in a horrible mood that day and that totally made the class seem like it would be a lot of busy work and just miserable. But now I am happy to say that I think this is one of the most amazing classes ever!
One of the first projects we had to do was first impressions we went around the room and everyone shared their name and the weirdest thing about themselves. Then while we were doing this we had to make a note card for each person and write down our thoughts and first impressions. I'm not good about first impressions I always think of it like I'm judging someone and I don't want them to judge me. But I do try to look for that persons good qualities it makes it easier for me to want to get to know them. It usually takes me a while to get to know a person I need to know who they are before I can really know what to think of them. So I don't know if I've made any sense, but I hope I have.
Another cool project we did was bring in an object that defines us. Other students brought in pictures, made powerpoint presentations or other things like baseball gloves. I brought in chopsticks because I could relate it with everything!! One I'm Japanese, two I love to eat, three they just make me think of my family and four they make me think of my fiance because every time I'm having a rough time she just looks over at me and says "It's ok, America is hard." :) It was a great experience and i got to know some of the other students better.
Next time I'll talk about some thoughts on self concept and perception...
“Love is not blind; it simply enables one to see things others fail to see.”
