Classmate Converstation

My phone conversation assignment was with Stephanie Wederstrandt. I asked Stephanie to do the phone assignment because she was one of the first people to send out an email for her blog and myspace. That made me come to the conclusion that she gets things done. I did want to pick someone that I could count on and who was not a slacker, and I am glad that I asked her. First impressions are important!! It was a little nerve racking in the beginining of the conversations in which we basically talked about the class and what each of us thought was expected. Being that we are both extroverts, the conversation flowed in a nice pace. I found out that Stephanie is a criminal justice major who works as a correctional officer with children. She is also taking other classes at the community college which I thought was pretty tough; I could not imagine doing that along with this class and work. I believe that because we are both of the same age we could also talk easier with each other. Class was one of the topics we discussed more than anything and I believe that is because that is what we mainly share in common. Stephanie seemed more prepared than I was for the phone conversation because she had some questions for me in the begining and I was just expecting to go with the flow. I thought this was an interesting aspect of how we handled the assignment since I am a "judger" according to one of the assessments, and I do tend to make my "to do lists." However, for this specific assignment, I decided to just go with the flow and she was the one with more stucture.
