Hey there! So I'll admit, at first I wasn't too sure if I would like this class at all, I also wasn't sure if I would enjoy blogging either, but turns out both are growing on me! Well, I like blogging mainly because I like to talk and having an awesome group has helped me to enjoy Com 320 more! I really enjoy getting to know people- and I am sure that I will get to know the guys better as the semester goes on. But it seems to me that this semester I have a lot of group interactions in my classes- and taking 18 credit hours, all of the outside class time is starting to add up! But I find that as long as the people that you are working with aren't cranky, are somewhat entertaining and are hard working- it isn't so bad.
Speaking of groups I am also apart of one more, in Com 303 which is Intercultural Communicaton for you non-com majors. My professor in that class is making us go out to dinner to a restaurant outside of our culture to "bond". Which is cool- I mean I enjoy eating. So my group and I decided to go to El Rodeo- Mexican :). So thats a different perspective, having to spend outside social time with people I don't know may seem intimidating but I think it will be a cool way to get to know them and I believe that the more that people know about each other the better they work together.
I think that this class will definitely prepare me for the struggles and successes that can come from working in a group setting. It has already taught me different ways people lead, what distance to stand from people I don't know well, and how to delegate responsibility. It also helps me to see that it isn't all about me, I have to be willing to listen to different people's perspective.
Also in my Theater 133 and French 102 class, we have to work in partners all of the time, so as much work as this semester will bring, there is no way that I will be able to be unsocial- my professors won't let me!!! - and I think that that's a good thing!
Well it's 11:22pm and I want to get in an episode of Friends before I go to bed! Night!
