Presentation

Today my group and I gave our presentation..I think it went pretty well considering everything that happened with it. We had many group meetings and people would not show or someone would have no clue what they were supposed to do and it got very annoying. I did not want to take charge of the group but I kind of had too. We forgot to have the timer on the power point slides but before we did we fixed it. Other groups went too and i think they did very well. We never quite practiced ours so it did not flow as well as it could have but oh well. We met twice because our first meeting was rather pointless but at least it got finished. The part about our surveys could have been better but we did not get a ton of responses like i wish we had.

Lafollette Food Plaza!!

In English we have to do a group project. It is just like a little ethnographic study of public areas around campus. My group and I decided to observe and interview the students who eat at lafollette food court. All the people in my group are freshmen and Lafollette is a freshmen dorm. We all are going to interview someone, the boys in my group are going to interview the workers and staff of the American Buffet. While the girls are going to interview the people choosing to eat at the downstairs portion of the food court. I think that we will learn something we were not expecting, but we really are not expecting much of anything at this point. We also have to do a survey to find out more information but my group and I have not decided what to do for that yet we are still discussing.
