Communication

Many many symposiums ago Adrian read out a girls blog that said, she didn’t like the subject Networked Media and that she was going to visit one of those people that help you transfer or get credits or whatever. I still don’t really know how university works.

That blog resonated with me because I was at exactly the same point in my “university experience”.  Just like when a sitcom deals with an issue that you had that day. The subject felt uncomfortable too me. All I thought was “This is just not for me”.

Whats interesting though is the blog entry turns. She decided to persist and realised that she just needed to change her style of learning.

It was like when a relevant sitcom wraps up all moral and life affirming. You feel like “YEAH IF RACHEL CAN DO IT SO CAN I!”

 

I have booked a meeting with a careers coordinator next Wednesday. I don’t really know what to say, however I have zoned into the biggest issue I have not only with this subject but with this degree.

Who am I helping?

I work with disabled kids as I have mentioned in other blogs.

Just recently I was spat on by a 5 year old with down syndrome. This lead to my face breaking out into school sores. I was on antibiotics and steroids for weeks and stayed inside for days. But I wasn’t angry because despite all the discomfort I knew I was helping someone to read, write and speak.

My job is more about communication than this subject. I know I will be fought on this issue (ie. its a different form of communication rah rah rahhhh). However it is the rawest and purest engagement in communication and I hope everyone gets to experience it.
