Body Language in 2008


Happy New Year! My it feels good to be busy again. The break was fun, but I'm glad to be back at work, school, and with friends again.
School is underway and it feels great. I'm taking some more General Education classes and a few fun ones e.g. bowling (wink wink)
I've registered for institute, and I love it. I'm taking Doctrine and Covenants. But being a teacher and knowing the difficult task of teaching I often find myself making a lot of comments. I hope their beneficial. I just know how frustrating it is to have asked a question with no response from the class.
Life has been going great. I've been getting back in my scriptures and back into studying Chinese.
Lately I have also been giving a lot of relationship advice. I'm reading this amazing book called, "How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in relationships." The whole first section of the book is about body language. I am amazed how much we communicate without words. I've been getting in this kick of just analyzing people. In fact I was talking to my friend Megan Spyva (I don't think that's spelled right. *sorry Megan if your reading this) and this gentleman came over into our little circle of talking friends and started to talk to her. It was so apparent that he liked her! The way he would smile, the way he would lean, and every time she would ask him a question there was a 2 second delay because he wasn't focused on her words, and his mind was all ajumbled.
Ask me about it sometime. It's such and interesting concept. I've also been giving a lot of relationship advice lately. I really don't know why. I don't have a lot of experience with it. :)
Dating life has been going well. I've been set up a lot lately, and especially with becoming more aware of my body language, I've become more aware of signals I send. The irony is that I give relationship advice to others but I have no idea what I'm doing. There is this girl, Sarah who is a fun person. She's easy to talk to, and isn't tuned off by my nerdy-ness. :)
So life is sweet to eat, and I think I'm going to have seconds!
