Skype conference call

Last night my group had our first ever conference call. The scheduled time was pushed back by half an hour, but finally right on time 3 out of 4 members of our group got together on skype.
We had a great chat, pretty much talking about every thing else except the assignment..... It turns out (1) one of our members has been a school principal for over 20 years.
(2) We all hate group assignments.
(3) We think we should be given more information in relation to information we may need for an assignment much sooner instead of the week before it is due.
(4) One group member failed an assignment in a previous subject last semester, the first time ever for her as she is used to getting HD's at uni......Not confidence building information I must say.
(5) Everyone in my group is fabulous and a lot of fun to be with.
(6) Principals aren't as bad as we are led to believe....

Anyway we ploughed through our topics and agreed to get back together next weekend at the same time.
The fourth member of our group used skype to call me just after we had finished. She had been caught up at school doing the most amazing book week display I have ever seen......

Today was the first day of book week so all TL's will be exhausted this week. Maybe take away is in order more than once this week.
