Business Meet-ING

This meeting was very successful for many reasons. First, we made our Code of Conduct which was easy because we all agreed on everything. We decided that everyone should be pulling their own weight, and if someone doesn't do that, the group will talk to them in a non confrontational way. Also, we discussed basic expectations like showing up to every meeting, on time, and being helpful and attentive. Reasons for not attending the meeting include academic conflicts or religious reasons, but the person must notify the group before the meeting. Lastly, we agreed to make decision by consensus, so that everyone in the group is satisfied with each decision. 

Next we created our calendar, which proved to be a bit more difficult. All of our schedules are the complete opposites, with each of us having classes at different times and on the opposite sides of campus. After much discussing, we decided to have meetings every Monday at 3:30 in Carrier library (which is perfect because there's Starbucks). It's not the most convenient time for everyone, but it's the best we could do for now. The meeting day might have to change though because Katelynn is trying out for club softball soon, and doesn't know when her practices will be, if she makes the team. We also decided that we should all do some preliminary research for our speech and bring in a few sources or ideas to the next meeting. 

The last thing we talked about was when to meet to do our activities, and which days we would do them. Again, this was a little difficult due to schedule conflicts but we eventually figured it out. We're going to go dog walking, picnicking, Zumba-ing, and hot-tubing. Our first activity will be tomorrow to go dog-walking in the quad! I'm especially excited to go Zumba-ing on Saturday though, and see the guys whip out some latino style dance moves. :)
