My accounting graduate program is going okay for the most part, but one of the requirements is becoming more and more annoying. A part of the requirements for my graduate program at SFSU are four workshops that all new students have to take. Personally, I found them to be a waste of time. One to two hours on a Saturday with a speaker going on and on about your career etc. The latest one was this Saturday about communications. The guy spoke about body language, behavior, facial expressions and how they affect your relationships with others. Kind of amusing that the school had to hire some consultant with a masters degree to teach me things I have been learning for the last three years. The guy didn't go in depth on any particular thing and we actually had to get into groups to plan a presentation for the next workshop. Should have snucked out like what a few others did.
On another note, I'm not sure what is going at my "job" at CCSF. While it is pretty boring, I keep getting strange vibes from the staff there. Something about their body language or the way they react around me keeps telling me that they don't want me there. It's most likely my paranoia, but many times my paranoia have proven to be correct. There were several times where my social etiquette was not up to par when interacting with some of them. Could that be it? Maybe I shouldn't be so dismissive of the communications workshop. Whatever it is, I'll try to limit contact with the staff.
