This week was definitely an interested one for Com 320, between the videos and presentation on Friday and our group meeting earlier today I had fun. Friday actually confirmed a lot of things that I have been told by my international friends in the past. A few extra bits and pieces that I have heard from my Chinese friend is that bouncing your legs when sitting down to a meeting is disrespectful. Also, it is very common to drink moderately or even heavily during important business meetings. I'll be honest, I am not entirely sure that these are true but after seeing all of the other bits of knowledge confirmed from a second source on Friday I am a bit more of a believer.
Beyond just Friday’s class though, our group meeting today blew me away with how quickly we got the work we needed done. We all got there intending to stay a two full hours in order to get our service learning idea confirmed and put together but I think we only stayed about 45 minutes. We lined up our ideas, and one by one we narrowed it down until we found what we liked. After that we went over what sort of events we could do, just throwing out random ideas until someone started to build off of another’s idea and we magically had a full blown event laying out for us. Once, that was decided on we looked at what issues we would have, and no matter what we ran across it seems like someone is always able to come up with an idea.
I’m really happy with the progress we made today, both on our project and as a group.
