We started out the meeting talking about how far we got into Survivor Season 17. Amy, Kristen & I are on episode 4, and Nate is up to episode 5. It was determined that Amy watched the wrong season of Survivor. She was watching the episodes of when they were in Brazil, while the others were watching Gabon. However, no one really seemed to like Survivor. All of the sudden, we started to talk about the discussion board and the case study.

When we discussed the case study, we each took a certain section of the assignment to talk about it. This case study focused on nonverbal communication and how it can effect one's communication with another. We were going to answer each scene individually (for example, we all answer 1, then go back to the original scene and talk about 2 and so on). Then I came up with the idea that we should answer all the questions about that particular scene. Everyone was in favor of that idea.

Regarding the scenes, it was almost difficult to answer any of these questions without knowing the proper body movements of each scene. Some of them were self explanatory (for example, #2). We all know what happens when a girl asks a question about herself and a boy answers by going "uhhhhhhhh". I wouldn't be caught dead saying this to a girl. It was easy for us to agree on the consequences of uhhhhhhhhh.

Throughout the rest of the case study, we agreed on almost everything. No one really took an argumentive voice throughout the remainder of the meeting.

At the very end, we started to talk about the Survivor project once again. We were having some problems trying to come up with who is doing who, and who is doing what. We were going to e-mail everyone our notes from Survivor but we never did that.

One thing I've been noticing about these chats is that we are going back and forth on topics. For example, this chat, we started to talk about Survivor, then all of the sudden changed subjects to the discussion board and the case study and back to Survivor. I keep hoping we stick to one topic and not change in the middle of something. That's really poor planning on people's parts.
