Journal 15

I feel that some of the problems that we will have to overcome are mostly the internet speed.  It will be hard to video chat through this because it lags so much, but typing shouldn't be a problem.  Another problem would be making sure they were continually on track and getting their responsibilities done on time.  This could be a high stress situation and we will have to just relax and trust our group members to get everything done.  We can use many modes of communication and it is a lot easier now that everyone has cellphones and technology is so advanced.  I hope that we will be able to find a time during the school day, say PACE for instance that we can chat through everything for a little.  I plan to text, skype, email, and chat through a social media site with my group members.  Since two thirds of the group will go to this school, it will be a lot more convenient and I will be able to talk to them during lunch and other free times.  I was just informed by you (Captain Langley) that we will be able to access the computers in the library and that will help a ton when it comes down to the end and everything is due.  I hope that I will be assigned responsible partners and be able to get everything accomplished and that through an irresponsible group member my grade doesn't go down.  Google+ will be a very useful mean of communication because it is one of the only social networks allowed during school hours.  I am extremely excited that I am participating in this project and it will be a great learning experience on what its like doing a project with a long distance partner.  This will be great experience for my future and it will be very important since many jobs will require working with someone on the other side of the world on the same project.
