One of the subjects I’m doing this semester involves posting weekly on the online Moodle system about the set readings… Then reading and respoding to the other students’ postings.
Week 1′s topic is change, and reactions to change within the sytem at all levels. Change brings all sorts of emotions and challenges – as does reading and responding!
Supposedly, communication is my expertice (spelling isn’t. Is it ise or ice?), and I love an online discussion, but it seems I am part of the first (of more, for sure) misunderstanding. Choice of terms (I think my use of ‘reluctant’ may have been interpreted with negative connotations – remember, there are trur synonyms) has had one respondant interpret my response as a mild attack, perhaps reflecting both of our attitudes.
I’m looking forward to meeting my classmates on Saturday – a long day starting with a 3 hour drive with 4 of them! I think I may be the youngest in the group, reading their intros. Not an uncommon situation for me to be in though!

This should make for an interesting trip! I am also easily to be misunderstood. I believe that my wording can be a bit off at times so I always watch the way I word things. I hope you enjoy yourself!
Oh! Online discussions bring out the worst in people and things that are so innocuous turn into big ol’ kerfuffles over an assumed slight, don’t they? *sigh*
Hope the trip (and the group) went well!
ps) it’s expertise with an s :)
