Second Meeting

Our second meeting started at four o'clock. We worked for about an hour and a half on our ideas.

Most of the time was spent on figuring out how to apply ethos, logos, and pathos to the audience we plan on targeting. Along those lines, we discussed how to present our graphics on the t-shirt. We also broke up the tasks to work on during thanksgiving break while we are not able to meet together.

We have another meeting planned for when we get back from Thanksgiving Break to go over the things we worked on separately.

Meeting #1!

We had our first meeting together at 4:00 PM today. Together we spent an hour going over different ideas for a layout of things we will be putting together.

While putting ideas together we made a choice between two different names. The first was M.C.A. which stands for Meat Consumption Awareness, and the second was E.L.M. which stands for Eat Less Meat. We chose to go with E.L.M.

The layout we worked on for was what would be placed on our T-shirts was another topic of discussion and collaboration. We decided to put a design on the front involving a cow, tree, and the planet earth. The back will have a website link was well as the question and comment "Want to go green?" "Eat Less Meat."

The last thing we worked together on was putting together a website layout that we will build upon in the future. We have another meeting scheduled on the 18th to build on the project.

We worked together for an hour to set these ideas.

Group Presentations....

Group Members in my group are.... Ashley Mooney, Shaira Shelton. We plan on presenting about cutting down on meat consumption due to its effects on our planet.

We are still in conference about the name we are going to call out organization but good things are in research and development right now.

We are planning on creating a multimedia website that will be informative for people. We will use a combination of video, textual support, survey/quiz, and some other exciting ideas we cannot unveil just yet. We plan on focusing on younger adults and teenagers who have the power to control their purchasing of food.

Sleeping/Procrastination

As I find my time harder and harder to manage with the many things i can find to do to procrastinate, I am also losing out on sleep. The other day I spent a few hours outside of one of my classes just sleeping on the ground because I became so exhausted over the previous weeks. The sad part about this situation is that it is not really a busy week for me. I think it may be due to the fact I have so much free time that I have no idea what to do with, so I do nothing. Then when I really need to get something done I decide to spend most of that time sleeping in strange places or just for the entire day. On that note, I have to share that the strangest place I have slept would be sitting outside the shower (while fully clothed for some reason) due to my exhaustion.
