So I had the best drive home to Washington yesterday. Somewhere around Boise I passed out and slept the last 4 hours straight, and woke up right when we were driving into town. I then proceeded to spend all Valentine's Day cuddling our six a-DORBS 3-week-old foster puppies and could not have been any happier! We have a foster dog named Sadie who we decided to foster while we attempted to convince our mom to adopt her. A few days later (after I came back to school) they took her to the vet and found out she was pregnant. Five weeks later, here we are. So my mother, who was stressed about having one dog around, now had to take care of one dog and six puppies. But they're all doing well, very healthy, cute and happy.
This week I was talking to someone in my ward who works closely with the basketball team who told me that one of the players was getting some criticism for swearing during a game and being what some would a consider a poor role model. She seemed to want to defend the player, however in my opinion it seems like a natural consequence for his behavior. IT may be a difficult lesson to learn, but it is one I am working on as well, that people are constantly watching and affected by the actions and personal decisions that I make in my life. I believe this applies to communication because business includes so much interaction, and usually teamwork. The actions someone takes, even in our class as part of a group presentation, comments in class, etc., affect both those on their team as well as the mood and attitude of the entire classroom. Having a good attitude is a constant project. I think reading the material, making constructive comments, and being enthusiastic in group projects would all help me maintain a positive attitude about this class and be a good example for others as well.
