Headed to disability services to take this Spanish test and hopefully place out of this class.

Prof started quizzing us on verbs ten minutes before class started. What is it with professors overstepping their boundaries these days?

Damn it to hell, the image died. Won’t come up after a reboot. And the #redhat site has become luck of the draw clickies Even with the -show_cursor lynx switch. God I’m screwed.

OK all this lynx drama tonight clinches it. I will do all I can to learn Linux, just not under this professor. I’m skipping out on the next level of this class next semester. Dear Lord, please get me through this summer. Please?

I made Lynx puke. How the hell do you pull that off? I have no idea what I did to do that.

Damn, It’s only just now 4. God this is dragging on too long.

Dear #Redhat professor: Please answer your email. i’m not sending emails to you because I have nothing else better to do. No love, me.

Oh now we’re going to talk about non-verbal messages. I got some nonverbal messages right here.

Wisdom from today’s com class: Thinking you know more than the speaker, or that your oppinion is more valuable is egocentrism. This is bad. I mean the egocentrism is bad. It doesn’t matter whether or not you actually *do no more than the speaker.

Done with com class and headed home.

According to this book/lecture, one type of communication is horizontal communication. *snicker

And here we have the beginning of the moral relativism.

It amazes me that either the academic world feels people need to be taught this crap, or that people really do need to be taught this crap.

There are principles of communication? Wow. And one of these is: you’re always communicating. What a concept! And communication has two levels: what you mean, and how the other person feels about what you communicated. What a shock.

Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that someone actually got paid to write a book with com diagrams and models. This book actually has paragraph upon paragraph on communication and its various elements. So far, all of this stuff is very self-explanatory.

Have set a message of the day on the virtual machine. Let’s see what they think about that.

At the end of both summer sessions, I think I might just disconnect for a little while. Maybe.
