Effective Interpersonal Communication

I think I’m experiencing the usual school-has-started-and-I-don’t-feel-like-going-to-school syndrome. Had a very long day today but thankfully my first lesson (tutorial) setup the stage for the rest of the day.

It was my General Elective Module, Effective Interpersonal Communication (Yes, its the one area I’m sorely lacking in and thus I took the class).

It was very cool.

We were told to list down the items that were in our bag and the reason that we carried it around. At first I thought it was kinda dumb, but then the followup of that was certantly enlightening. My list was as follows (copied verbatim):

File - Store docs
Pencil Box - For the rare occasions where I need to write something down
Earphones - Audio (MP3)
Landyard - No choice
Calc - Not sure

Watch - Time
Specs - Vision
HP - Contact
PDA - Organiser / Entertainment
Mouse -
Laptop - IT Needs

VS Badge - caus VS Rocks

The followup highlighted the reasons why we carry around our HP. I bet you, my dear reader, never ONCE stopped to think about why you carry around your HP. So ppl can contact you? So you can contact ppl? Why would you need to do that?

Then there was this excercise where we were given 3 words and were asked to choose the one that most closely resembled ourselves. Learnt quite a bit about myself from that.

Looking forward to class next week. =)
