Small Group Communication
Yesterday was the first day of summer session. The first class I had was small group communication. In my class there are about three people who I would concider cool, and each in thier own ways.
First there is Erik, he is cool because he is also gay. I know that doesn't really mean that he is going to be cool, but because we both recognized early in the class that we both had that in common we bonded sooner than I would with other people.
Second there is Amanda. Amanda is deaf, so my knowledge of American Sign Language is being put to good use at the moment. What they say is completly true, if you don't use it you loose it, and this is one skill I am not interested in loosing.
The third person's name is Mike. Mike is probably the oldest guy in the class. I would assume he is old enough to be my grandfather. I believe Mike is cool, because he is still getting himself an education. One of the causes of Alzheimers is an inactive brain, so doing crossword puzzels or taking your social security check to the U of M to take some classes is a great way of combating Alzhiemers. Perhaps I should write an advertisement for the U. "The University of Minnesota, helping the elderly kick Alzheimers in the ass"
This class is going to be interesting because as Erik said the teacher is gregarious. If am not sure I spelt that correctly, but there it is. He likes to gesture a lot and at inappropriate moments.
Hmm thats all I got for now. Maybe Erik and I will hang out sometime and he can introduce me to some of his gay friends. I know I really shouldn't care if I know gay guys at the U, and all my friends don't have to be gay. But its nice to be able to hang out with people who are like me.
I also think that I should have some kind of catchy out phrase. You know like Ryan Seacrest has "Ryan Out" Maybe I could find one as well. But then again that would be kind of lame so never mind.
