Convergance Expansion - Tute 2

Expanding on the Convergence stuff from my last post.
I thought I'd define convergence.

Definition:
The act, condition, quality, or fact of converging.

I thought putting it in bold was quite a bold move.....
sorry couldn't help myself.
I got that definition from www.dictionary.com by the way. Oh how did people find out the meaning of words before dictionaries?

On the topic of dictionaries, I'll share Demetri Martin joke on the subject with you:
"I bought a dictionary, and looked up the word 'dictionary', it said: 'You're an asshole.' "

And another.

"I was in a store and I saw a pocket dictionary and that made me laugh because it's such... a specific item.
I don't know that many words... and I'm going out... and I have pants. Perfect!"

One more.
"I was going to read the Dictionary, but then I read the last page, ruined the whole story for me.... and anyway... I hear it's a bit of an anti-climax."

Okay.. that last one, is just my own lame joke that I snuck in with the idea you would think it's funnier if it's someone elses joke.

One Dewy Morning - Lecture 1

Today, on the dewy morning that was, I awakened to the sound of singing. Then I realised I was sleep singing again. Which is all swell, despite the fact I was singing John Lennon's 'How Do You Sleep?'..... I think I figured it out!
Exhale.
Nothing like a fresh pot of irony to start the day.

So within 20 minutes, I was smelling good - as opposed to the weird crayon smell that surrounds me on most days - and was awaiting the arrival of teh bus on the dewy grass. And the sad thing is, I purposely spelt 'The' as 'Teh', please forgive me..... even worse is that 'Spelt' is apparently not in the dictionary, but screw that overrated 'Spelled'.

So soon acommeth; I was in the healthy G16 awaiting for the lecture to start, to which I noticed was rather later than the 8am we penciled in. I 'tut tut' in your general direction.

So pretty much we just went over the course outline, including the all important assessment items - to which we covered in the last 2 minutes. Sigh. I'm rather critical today, maybe that's just because I'm perfect.

Wooo, second blog post and already being mildy humourously cocky!

We also outlined the forms of communication, and put some in the group of 'Old', and then all the good ones in 'New'. Bias much?

Oh and my adjective of the day today is 'Dewy'. You know, how some people have 'word of the day', I have like noun of the day, adjective of the day, verb of the day. Fairly simple yo. Although I tend to use it for more like a week, but it's already named and some plaques are done up, so I can't change it now..... Oh and I choose it too, that way I can avoid the situation of having like 'Japanese' as my adjective of the day, because that is just a bunt to work in front of nouns in every day speech.

Zie out!
