Miscommunication

My boyfriend is a graudate student here at Clemson and he has done many group projects. There was one time when he had to do a very large report for his group project. There was a lot of miscommunication occuring throughout the group because it was right around when the project was due. Nick spent many hours doing what he thought the report should be about. It turned out that he had done the completely wrong thing and had to go back at the last minute and change everything! This miscommunication could have been prevented by talking amongst others. Even though they were crushed for time, they could have still layed out the important details of the project so that each member knew what he/she was doing!

one more week til spring break...

My favorite presentation this week was Kristin's camp experience. I enjoyed this presentation because it was similar to mine and I like comparing the camp that I went to to other camps. It was fun to hear about her experience as a conselor and to hear about all the fun things the camp had to offer.

I don't really have much experience with online portfolios other than the E-portfolio that I must create for Clemson. I am undecided if this is a good experience or bad experience because I honestly have not put much time into it. It will be interesting creating an online portfolio that will include my resume, cover letter, and other goodies that potential careers could look upon. For the portfolio draft due March 23, I need to start my cover letter! Once I have that done, I am pretty much set and ready to begin putting it together.
