    Chapter one of our book outlines a few of the principles of interpersonal communication; One of these principles claims that interpersonal communication is irreversible (McCornack 16). Many times in my life I have seen this principle ring true, and wished that I could take back something I said. One example for instance came about within an argument between me and my father. Somehow we had gotten onto the subject of staying out too late and when I should be home. Although I insisted that I should be allowed to stay out as long as I’d like, given that I was 18 at the time, he did not see it that way.…

    Little did I know though that being a cashier was somehow a worse fate than the Myth of Sisyphus like task I was presented beforehand. The very first person I had to attend was a visibly upset pregnant lady who’s gender reveal cake ended up being the wrong color. You can just imagine the fire coming outta of her mouth the very moment she laid her eyes on me someone who was mistakenly thought responsible for such mistake.

Thing such as “Idiot,” “I want a refund,” were thrown around as well as the oh so predictable “Can I speak to the manager,” ending it all off.…

    Interpersonal communication is the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people. It is a person-to-person contact, it includes everyday exchange that may be formal or informal and can take place anywhere by means of words, sounds, facial expression, gestures and postures. Two significant learning points for me during this course was in module 3, using the I-language instead of you-language which gives power over our thoughts, feelings and emotions to others. To take responsibility for your own feelings, rely on I language rather than you language. I language owns thoughts and feelings and does not blame them on others (Wood 125).…

    I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks.

Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…
