Communication, Last exam

I really like this comic strip. I have known that communication is two-way, that the responsibility is NEVER all mine no matter how often people blame me and absolve themselves entirely. But it is nice to see someone else believe this too. [Edit to add] Oops, here is link to picture: It is an XKCD comic.

"Anyone who says that they're great at communicating but 'people are bad at listening' is confused about how communication works."

One more exam today, then tests for the winter quarter are done. I have to work on the edits for my literature review paper, due tomorrow. After that I am done for this quarter.

Then I have about a week and a half off. In which I must deal with Provail's new plan for me. I am hoping there are good reasons for having ignored what I already told them. Because they are not, in general, stupid people. So there must be a reason.

But even without that, it is not enough time to recover from the last quarter and prepare for the new quarter. I am running out of energy. I need longer breaks between classes.

Not that I will quit. Of course not. But if this pattern keeps up, I may have to start taking a quarter off in order to continue.

I suppose this is a large part of why I am "too disabled" to work. There are no such breaks in working, just a constant daily exhaustion without end.

Almost done. Then, I must prepare for the stress of field trips. Not understanding the teachers again, possible meltdowns, getting lost, confusion, changes, and all the other problems that field trips involve... I still have not heard back from anyone who said they'd help, but I am hopeful that someone will have good ideas. At least for understanding the teacher's spoken words. I did not dare mention any of the other problems associated with field trips. They might decide it is too dangerous and make me stay home.
