playING cards

On November 12th, our group met after our group work day in class, we decided to go to starbucks and get some food and coffee and play some cards! It was relaxing and nice after a rough morning getting up for our 8 am. We played go fish, and gin rummy, I won go fish :) and Taylor won rummy. At the end of our meeting we all planned out when we were going to meet next to re-do our speech. Tomorrow 11/12 were meeting at ten to work on it and figure out how were going to approach our new topic!

playING pool

After class on the 4th of november, my group and I decided that it'd be nice to get together and talk about how our halloween/homecoming weekends were. We walked to TDU and got some coffee and food but before we started to talk about our lives we figured out important information about our next assignment which is the persuasive speech. Once we were finished discussing that, we decided to play a game of pool and talk about stuff. It was nice to just relax and not be stressing about our project at that time. We planned to meet up again on the 11th of november to finish out last ING.

frisbee-ING

On our day off from class on 10/2 we all decided to get up around ten and meet in front of D-Hall for some breakfast and a good game of frisbee! The funniest part of our meeting was that James thought we had class so he had to get up extra early which was very unforunate for him! But once everyone arrived we were able to play for a good 15 minutes till the traffic in the commons picked up. After our frisbee game we sat down and pulled together some info. on our speech, and planned our next meeting to continue to work together on our speech.

study-ING

On Sunday night our group met to do some studying as a group. We met at Carrier Library at 7:30 and were there till about 9. While there we helped each other on problems we had on some of our work. Before we all left for the night we discussed a little bit about who was going to work on what part of our speech. Having natural disasters as our topic we were able to choose from a variety of options. At the end of the meeting we decided to set up our next one after class on thursday. For thursday we are all suppose to have started to gather some info. and do our next -ING.

schedul-ING & conduct-ING

We met at Festival for dinner and got to work on writing our group schedule and code of conduct. Due to illness, James was unable to make it to our meeting. Despite his absence, we still got the work done. After everyone got their food, we started discussing our schedules to so that we could make a group schedule that had no conflicts. Afterwards we discussed our code of conduct and what the consequences for violating it would be. After we came to an agreement, we were done for the night. Later we held another meeting with James to fill him in on what he had missed (we filled him in at our group meal at Chik-fil-a). We compared his schedule with the group's so we could make the necessary changes to it. We also discussed the code of conduct with him to get his input on it. We also assigned the responsibilities for each person so everyone would be pulling their weight in this project to make it successful.

eat-ING

We met for breakfast at Chik-fil-a after class one day. Well, Ali and Karissa grabbed some Einstein Bagels (the pumpkin muffin was delicious), but everyone actually ate in Chik-fil-a. It was a pretty successful meeting. We were able to add some finishing touches to the code of conduct, and to clarify the scheduling and tasks that had to be done at each meeting. We had to fill James in, because he was sick and missed our initial business meeting at Festival. We established who was to do what for the portion of the project that is due in 2 days. We picked one person per blog (just 3 people for the ones to be done by Thursday), and designated one person to type the code of conduct and schedule. All in all, after this meeting, we now have a clearer picture of what we have to do by when. We are also more familiar with each other. We spent some time "chit-chatting" and getting to know one another. Ali filled everyone in on her rushing experience, Kevin and James talked about sports and their turf-burns on their knees, Taylor shared his love for marching band, and Karissa talked about her delicious pumpkin bagel and her hatred towards Chik-fil-a.

our initial meet-ING

Once assigned our groups for the project the 5 of us decided to meet up at PC Dukes for some food, and bonding time to get associated with one another. At this meet-ING we discussed how we wanted to go about working on the -ING's and bouncing ideas back and fourth. The highlight of our initial meeting was the extreme awkwardness of asking someone random to take a picture of us. Overall our first meeting together was a success, and once we all got over the awkward yet funny silence the meeting went smoothly. Our next meeting for our meal was planned at Festival for 7 o'clock to make sure everyone was able to make it.
