...Did my parents really just send me to Los Angeles by MYSELF? It doesn’t sink in that I’m completely alone, until I’m sitting in my ridiculously small and square dorm room. The walls are empty and bare and blinding white, my suitcases sit untouched at the foot of my bed, and I just want to go home. How could my father send me to boarding school, across the FREAKIN’ country, without even asking me if I wanted to come? Meanwhile, the city is oddly silent, as I curl into a ball at the foot of my bed. I cannot lose it. The walls are so paper thin, that all of Cyprus Hall will be able to hear me. And, then I won’t make any friends and no one will want to hang out with me and my life will just be horrible. I feel a lump rise in my throat,...

...Gratitude Letter It required me a good amount of time to decide who to send my gratitude letter to and it also caused me a bit of uncomfortableness because I'm not such an open person with regards to sentiments. However, I chose to send a letter to my mother who is a very nice and hardworking person. I decided to send a letter through mail despite the fact that I am currently living with her at her house. I adore doing things the old way since it feels much more genuine and real. It felt special to spend some time and energy in setting up the envelope and accomplish something just to show appreciation without expecting anything consequently. When my mom received a letter she was truly stunned and was not expecting this from me because we are not really open to each other in fact we have some sort of cold relationship. My mom and I don’t get along very well. she spends most of her time talking about her sister’s daughter and comparing her life with me. I really do not like this and because of this I didn’t want to consider my mom for this assignment. Regardless I chose to send my mother the letter since I knew despite the fact that she doesn't generally value me that much yet at the same time she has done a great deal to me. She raised me, taught me so much and most importantly cooked food for me consistently and still does it. I like every little thing about my mom aside from the part that she thinks more about her niece than her own daughter. I wouldn’t mind this at all but...

...Agony Article What makes a relationship fresh? Hi my name is Sandra I come from a town close to Sheffield which is called Rotherham it’s a small town which can only hold a few thousands. I am aged 25 and I have recently met this Gentlemen aged 27 I have fell in love with him he was is so sweet to me and kind and I have always trusted him for the past few years he’s been miserable please tell me how to make him love me again? Imad Says: Take advantage of new technology; text and send e-cards. With so many of us pressed for time, why not use technology to “keep in touch” during the day. A compliment, an affection or a quick “Hello, You are being thought of” via text can spark anyone’s day. E-cards are fast, and convenient. There are many sites that allow you to send them for free. You can find any type of sentiment from cute and funny, to serious and romantic or teasingly sexy. The bonus is that you can include a personal message along with it if you’d like. Hold hands, hug and give quick kisses often. Nothing is as good for the soul and the emotional health of a person as the human touch. As teenagers, we hold hands, give quick kisses as hello and goodbye and cuddle as we sit close. Why not keep that sense of youth no matter how old we are or how long we have been have together as a couple? Holding hands keeps a connection and closeness, no matter what we are doing. An enthusiastic hug uplifts us; a quick kiss says “glad to see you”. You must convince your husband to take you...

...people will yield to change efforts. It is my opinion a change that this course has helped me to recognize is in my ability to self advocate for my needs in creating the change in my employment. For example, I have struggled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) that has gone undiagnosed until recently. ADD can certainly affect one's work life. In such a way as trouble remembering information, managing time, organizing and prioritizing, screening out distractions, and just getting started on tasks. This has caused extreme frustration in me and those I work with. My experience is when energy has been expended in an effort to control what's outside of us, this tends to drain us of vital energy and frustrates us even more. However, what seems like minor errors have accumulated to a point of this writer has been held to disciplinary actions at work as “unprofessional.” I would have to say, upon waking each day and throughout most my waking hours, I have varying degrees of anxiety. Upon waking, it is extreme, as to what I will face at work, that day. Not in the dealing with students, but in possible supervisor reprimands. As a result, I have sought professional help in this and now prescribed medication to help me with my difficulty with organization. In so doing, understand that the source of many of the challenges is ADD, not personal shortcomings. I agree there are changes to be made for me to...

...One thing that stood out to me as I was reading The Iliad is how Chryses offered so many gifts as ransom in order to get his daughter back, but no matter what he offered or how much he begged, Agamemnon refused. He kept telling Chryses that he would not give her back. On page 78, Agamemnon states, “The girl- I won’t give up the girl.” One line that I thought was very powerful was when Agamemnon says to Chryses, “Now go, don’t tempt my wrath- and you may depart alive.” After hearing this, Chryses felt threatened and he obeyed what Agamemnon said. On page 79, Apollo sends a plague upon the Greek army and on this page it states, “he cut them down in droves- and the corpse-fires burned on, night and day, no end in sight.” I thought this was also a very powerful line and it was a line that stood out to me.

...the receiver? Myself - What was the message? My supervisor told me to get in the boat that we were working on. - What was the channel used to send the message? The channel that was used to send the message was a face to face verbal communication - What was the misunderstanding that occurred? I did not understand why he yelled at me and told me to get in the boat when I was standing at the back of the boat working on the lower unit when there were other co-workers around not doing anything and when he yelled at me that was very rude and made me feel like he was picking with me so I yelled back at him and asked him for what reason did he want me to get in the boat when you see me busy already working on the boat and the rest of my co-workers are standing around laughing at the situation. This also made me feel like he was trying to show off for the people and or power trip but he later told me the reason why he wanted me to get in the boat was to troubleshoot something in the console on the boat after he apologized for yelling at me. - How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? The misunderstanding could have been avoided by him not yelling at me. 1 what did you learn about the communication process from this activity? I learned that the communication between me and my supervisor had a barrier it was called internal noise due to my belief in if you want respect you give it. This belief had blocked me from receiving his message clearly 2. What seemed to be the main...

...problem-solving method guarantees a solution if it is appropriate for the problem and is properly carried out (Morris and Maisto, p.276). At first I tried moving the cat over first and that left the dog and the mouse together, then I tried moving the dog over but of course they fought when I sent the raft back. I was not getting anywhere. So I kept going back to the text and reading over the chapter. I encountered many obstacles while solving the problem. It took me a while to figure out how to isolate the cat from the dog and the mouse because the cat was the trouble maker. Yes I was aware of this thought process but it did not come to me until the end that I could move the cat to the other side then send the raft back and get the dog and bring him to the other side. Then you have to put the cat on the raft and send the cat back to the other side where the mouse is. Take the cat off and put the mouse on and send the mouse over to the dog. Send the raft back and put the cat on the raft and send the cat over the mouse and dog. It took me I do not know how many tries but it was a fun experience. It makes you think a lot differently than you would...

...From talking to others, they assure me the quality of the microphone is excellent as they can hear loud and clear. It is JUST what any bluetooth seeker wants, right? WRONG! The bad news- After a few days (not weeks) I notice it looses connection frequently with my phone, and when it does you don't hear anything obviously and you think the call was lost, but no, it just went back to your handheld phone, then you start talking on your call and suddenly can not hear anything anymore and think you lost the call but no, it's just that the headset found connection again and is now working so you don't hear thru your handheld because is now on bluetooth, quite annoying but it doesn’t happen all the time. Then things got worse, now it won't turn off and pressing the main button for four seconds, or even 20, 30 or pick a number of seconds and the multifunction main button works erratically. Worse than that, it has developed a beeping sound, one beep every 3-6 seconds and sometimes two beeps, wether it is paired or not with the phone. At least I was relieved it happened within two weeks of purchase, surely it had a warranty, so I called Samsung customer service- First after checking with managers they tell me the problems is it is not compatible with motorola, they can only assure sompatibilty with Samsung, uhmmmmmm where in the box does it say that??? Even some advertisement says it'll work with bluetooth devices, then they tell me that If I send it back it will take 7-10 business...

...is in loss. I The CEO of the company will write an email to factory manager for closing the factory. I will tell him the context of the situation. Being a sender I will use internet as a transmitter to send the message to the factory manager. I will ask him to inform the employees by putting a notice on company notice board. I will also tell him to write my email id on that notice so if any employee needs to communicate with me he can communicate with me using the internet as medium. I also plan to send letters from company to all employees to tell them about company’s situation and ask them if to join the Mexico’s plant if interested. People see my body language through perception. I will also call the broadcast media office and tell them about the company’s plan bout the closing of the factory. I will send them my company’s video footage and my message to the American media for broadcasting, so that people can see my video.

...the receiver? Myself What was the message? Inventory Stock What channel was used to send the message? Face to face communication What was the misunderstanding that occurred? When being delegated to inventory stock the supervisor never gave me a specific time frame therefore I was unaware that it needed to be completed before the end of the work day. How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? I should have asked the supervisor for specific directions so I could have completed the task in an efficient time frame. Questions: 1. 1. What did you learn about the communication process from this activity? After doing this activity I learned that communication can be misunderstood if you don’t do it with clarity. Sometimes you may send a message assuming that the receiver already understands the objective but until you become the receiver of feedback you’ll never know. 2. What seemed to be the main causes of the misunderstandings? The main causes of the misunderstanding were that as soon as I received the message I should have provided feedback to avoid any discrepancies. Although I didn’t I assumed that I could put the task off and it was something that needed to be a top priority. Who was the sender? Me Who was the receiver? Co-worker What was the message? We need to send the supervisor an inventory count so I want you to do a spot check for me. What channel was used to send the message? E-mail What was the misunderstanding that occurred?

...Medium v. Message Christina Drummond COMM/400 07/27/2014 Tricia Rosengarten Medium v. Message There are many forms of communication through technology. The three that I use in my office are email, social networks and IM. My favorite of these 3 are IM because it allows me to send messages right away and leaves little room for misinterpretation. Emails for examples allow me to send messages to many people at once but sometimes people don’t read them right away or I don’t get back to them right away because I am busy. If this happens then someone may not do as instructed and whatever is going may have to wait until later. Social media to me is great for getting information around from person to person however you can’t control the messenger and they may make something more than it is, not say anything at all or put the business in jeopardy for saying the wrong things. Often businesses use technology as a form of communication to help get new word around about situations regarding the business. It is important that businesses use technology to communicate because often times you can’t talk to everyone within the office at once and something’s may need to be fixed right away. It is important to figure out for the business what forms of technological communication work and which one do not. Implementing new forms of technology can be very difficult for staff members who are used to doing things a certain way may be apprehensive to change. As a manager myself I follow a plan...
