Group

We have been meeting together with our groups for a while now. It is surprisingly hard to have group meetings, personally I have been to all of the meetings, but no matter how far in advance we let the group know about the meetings there is always one person that does not show up. I am not complaining about this by any means, because when we do meat we get the project done and everyone has something for the group to offer and the communication is not too shabby. We are done with our project now and just need to work on the ratings and the group structure, then Give the speech which hopefully will go better than the past individual speeches that I have had.

Communication in social media

I was looking on facebook and as usual people are chatting it up amongst each other, with all of the youth computer lingo and the LOLing. Happy go lucky people and the sad and depressed people. The thing that really bothers me about social communication and online communication is that instead of talking face to face with people, people are talking online and their social skills are suffering from this. To add to my hatred of social network are the people who have comments that are negatively possitioned toward others, if they do not like them then they probably wont have them as a friend in the first place. This is just a opinion that I have of social networks such as facebook and how foolish people are when communicating with each other, but say some things that in person they would never say to someone else.

Problems with memorizing speeches

My last speech an informative speech was over how to make barbecue sauce the way my grandma used to make it a long time ago.  I tried to memorize what I was going to say about my speech, such as the place barbecue sauce originated from, the different variations in different parts of the United States and other such information that would of helped my speech.  When I got up there it came out different and I forgot just about all that I was going to say about my topic.  It started out alright, but then when it came to the actual information I forgot everything that I tried to memorize and there was long pauses in my speech every couple of words because I forgot what I tried to memorize.  All I got to say is next time I give a speech my visual aids are going to be a PowerPoint, that way I can have pretty much exactly what I'm going to say to the class, and maybe not have long pauses and sound more confident.
