It great that we said what we needed to say, and can be open about. however, you can onl SAY so much. Dont just go through the motions you have to say what you mean, and mean what you say! Just because we can all talk about our problems and the solutions does not mean that they are solved and resolved. And dont just be ready to talk, be ready to LISTEN too!

I know its not really much and not really thoughty but I feel like this sums up all my thoughts on the class meeting.

I think it was nice to get things out and come to the realization that things are not always as they seem. I am glad we all agreed to talk things through and not just let things linger. I learned that some people actually have feelings and aren't as rude as they come off, so we have to give eachother a chance. I also found it very helpful to know I'm a "pouncer" because I didn't realize I was keeping others from getting a chance to test the waters of Ram TV. I mean, we all don't get along but we really do get things done. We need to work on communication because our lack of it is really going to make things harder than they already are.

I think that we learned that we really need to step it up and stop wasting time, its nothing personal and towards no one just the fact that we all waste time and throw everything together at the last second and its not the best that we can do for our class, so in my opinion it was a great class meeting.

You know how I felt... I felt a bit pressured into it... I know some people (other than my lovely lady ;)) didn't want to do it. It was tough. I was sincerely scared of what was going to be said about me. I didn't expect what came out of L's mouth. But not it's the past and in retrospect (hope that word's not toooo big) it was indeed necessary. I would have much preferred a one-to-one talk with L and I got that in the end but that's what I had wanted from the beginning. From the meeting, though, I don't feel that "what's the best way to 'succeed' in ramtv" was answered (be a pouncer or a wallflower?) But I feel a bit more comfortable now with everything now that tensions were released during that meeting.

I think this class meeting was necessary but I didn't think telling us that the show wasn't going to get done helped. I had to admit I was a little shocked at that statement because I know that everyone in this class is capable of working together to make a great show, and we did. I am not sure how much this meeting helped everyone, but it does seem that there isn't so much drama. I think that this meeting was more beneficial to others than to myself. I do think the meeting made us closer as a group

i think that it was really good that we got everything out in the oopen and everyone learned there faults and strengths as a class. I know that i can be a "wallflower" and don't always want to be the first one to say that they want to do something, i'd rather just have someone ask if they want my help, but i will try harder to volunteer for things more often in our RamTV class. Since the meeting i believe our class has functioned a whole lot better and we now know that we can communicate to get the job done.

The class meeting we had was good. I understand that we needed to have a meeting like that because we all need to get on the ball. I'm sensitive, and I took it way too personal and I should not have. I like everyone in our class and want to get along with everyone but it just seems like there is unessecary tension between us and I can't understand why. I hope we can just all get along I dont get what the problem is, Yeah we have our "cliques" but its not like anyone would refuse to work with someone else just becasue of that. Maybe we are afraid to approach one another, but at any rate I hope it will all work out.

i liked the class meeting. calling people out doesnt bother me. yea it might piss me off but who cares, people need to no whats up and the truth hurts sometimes. I REALLY LIKE HOW WE GOT THE SHOW DONE. when L didnt think we was going to (no disrespect to u L) i believe it showed alot of determation from us as a class and proved her wrong. playing sports i was always told i couldnt do it bc i was short or bc i was a white boy, an look were im at now. proving people wrong really makes me feel good lol. but the class meeting i guess snapped people back to reality and got us refocused to finsih the show and impress some folks.

Media Goddess said...

Keith & CJ - Do you really think I thought that the show wouldn't get done?

Strategic maneuver anyone?

Janel said...

I think the class meeting was good because you said the truth and sometimes the truth needs to be said no matter how bad it is. I think that that meeting was a wake up call for me and many others and I'm glad this happened because I think this will bring us together and show us that we all have to work together and plan out jobs evenly so everything won't fall on one person.

Janel - well said. =)

so i almost forgot that we had this meeting... and then i remembered! XD

i think we needed to just get our thoughts out the way we did. its good to talk things out every once in a while.

we should all try to work on our faults and not get on each others cases as much, otherwise we won't get anything productive out of this class.

Paiger said...

The class meeting went well, I guess.
Not everything that should of been said was said, but most of it got out of the way, and I guess the rest can wait until it really becomes necessary.

And as far as your comment on not getting the show done goes
Yes it did seem like you didn't think it wasn't going to happen
I don't know if it was when you said you really don't think we're going to make it
or what
But you just had that vibe that said I don't think this show is going to get done..."

I felt like being extra snarky because I'm out of acai juice and my foots asleep
