As I am writing this, It’s coming up on 1 o’clock in the morning. Which means this is the perfect time to think about the next few weeks of Comm 361.

I’m going into my third class this Tuesday afternoon, and my group is still needs a blog page. That blog page is the first of several goals that I will be trying to accomplish starting tomorrow.

The second step will be to coordinate a schedule for meetings with my group. This part has always been the most difficult step in my past project groups. Everyone has a different schedule of classes, homework, and part time jobs, and finding synchronicity between each group member is almost inevitably a nightmare.

But I must admit that I am optimistic about planning with my group members tomorrow. Each of us were in Steve Klein’s New’s Writing and Reporting class last semester, so there is a sense of confidence about each person’s group participation. It eases my paranoia about any of my group members slacking on their end.

After we agree on a schedule, we will have to decide on the blog’s theme.

I narrowed down the list of options to my three personal favorites: Job Hunting in Fairfax, Hidden Fairfax, and Neighborhood Renaissance program. I think that each of these options have great story potential, and I would enjoy investigating any of them over the semester.

Furthermore, I think that my flexibility with the final choice for the theme will make the final group decision much easier. I’d prefer a cooperative group over my personal theme pick.

Blog site, group schedule, and blog theme. Those are my goals for the next few weeks of this class. I am curious to see how they pan out.
