Study Hard

Today we met our final meeting for the “ING” project at the library. We met outside the library in the FREEZING cold and then walked inside together. We decided that for the final meeting it would be a wise idea to study for our upcoming GCOM final. Because of all the other upcoming finals the library was packed. We had to wander for awhile until we found a spot where we could all sit in a circle. We studied for a little and then decided it would be better to meet up at a later time when it would be less crowded and when we all had less of a work load. As we were parting ways we all became sad as it was our last meeting for this class. We ended up deciding that we would continue to keep in touch and meet up next semester. 

Persuasive Speech Prep

It was hard getting back into the swing of things after Thanksgiving break, but with our impending speech, the gamma group decided to meet up and tie up all the loose ends. At first we chattered about how our breaks were, but we eventually got down to business, with poor Susannah coughing the whole time. We made our powerpoint and got everything squared away and decided to let Susannah get back to her dorm where it was warm so she could get better before we had to present. As each gamma group meeting ends, we all realize how much we are going to miss each other and have decided to continue to catch up whenever we can. Our next meeting will be very SOON because we need to study for the final, which we have heard is hard. 

Applebees!

Because Rebecca is a sophmore and lives off campus, we decided to spice up campus life and eat dinner off campus! We had an adventure trying to find Applebees, but finally found it and got a table for five. During dinner we talked about our upcoming persuasive speech on gun control, trying to organize what we were going to say. Our dinner consisted of pastas, chicken tenders, salmon, and a quesadilla. Besides the speech, we hardly talked about school as we were updating each other on the currrent events happening in our lives. Beside us at a table there was a huge group of people who were only using sign language. Since they were laughing and some were whispering, we came to the conclusion that it was a sign language class out to dinner. As we were leaving, we stopped an older couple leaving the restaurant and asked to have our picture taken. After glances were exchanged between the two, our dinner out was documented and Rebecca proceeded to drop us off at our dorms because it was so cold outside. We all had a good time at dinner, and we will all miss our meetings as a group when the semester ends because we have become a gcom family! 

Arts and Crafts!

The Gamma group met today to do some arts and crafts in order to spice up our informative speech about Hillary Clinton! We met in a group study room in the 3rd floor of the library, Rebecca brought the supplies and paint and Laura helped us be artistic. We wanted to show our group unity with the shirts but did not want to influence the audience because it was an informative speech not a persuasive speech. This is why we wrote “team Hillary” rather than “vote Hillary”. This was a fun project that we could all do and also spend time chatting as well about our plans for thanksgiving break and what we were going to do at home with our friends and families. Everyone was excited for home-cooked food and especially for turkey! When we were done crafting and the shirts had dried we were suprised and proud of the outcome! Hopefully they will make a statement when we wear them for our speech!
