So as many of us know we did a MB IRL Meeting via Google Hangouts twice last month. Both of these went pretty well, and all of us who took part in them want to do it again. But the question now is, when? And will anyone else want to join us?
Â
The meetings are open to anyone, with a maximum of 10 people. So please let me know if you want it so we can get you in.
Â
We did both calls on Fridays last month, so please tell me what Fridays you are free on between now and February 22d, or if you'd prefer a different day.
I believe and hope I will be free for all of those days. I may have homework and that is the priority, however.
wait you have homework set by your school? that must suck
@Azurestorm Wait, you don't? OKAY, ALL OF MY FAMILY, WE'RE MOVING TO THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT!!
@Flamefrost well I don't for now at least for now since I'm not in high school yet. maybe I will get homework during the holidays when I'm in year 7. In Australia the school system is way different so maybe thats why. heres a chart
k-yr 6 = primary school yr 7 - yr 12 = highscool
we don't have middle school. So yeah maybe I will get homework when I'm in year 7 but not for now. Also if you want to move to my school district you will have to move to Australia and be under the age of 12. I doubt you can persuade your family to come here but I wish you luck that you will.
I'm free all of those Fridays I believe and I'd love to take part!
Again my parents are not okay with this unless Mrs. Alvarez is present. Sorry...
I hope we can make that happen this time, actually. She would probably (hopefully) help to cancel out some of the awkwardness that has been present in the past two video calls.
Actually I do need to check with my parents, is it a video or voice only?
It's a video call like Skype or FaceTime, but with more people (up to ten).
Okay, so we should definitely try to get Mrs. Alvarez on board for this call. Now who wants to contact her?
I can, later this afternoon. I do think it may be more effective to have multiple people try. I'll get back to you later, when I've asked.
I'll ask too. Put the MB link.
I just did and she seems to want to be part of it. I don't think she wants to be bombarded with questions, but if you want to, her email address is jenniferdiaries@gmail.com
Hi everyone! I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were meeting. I've been so busy writing and editing that I've had little time to check the board. Please email me directly whenever you need me to know something! The best Fridays for me are February 1st or 8th. If it's on any other Friday, I teach a creative writing class from 4-5PM Pacific Standard Time. So if it was 6PM or later, then I could make it. Please keep me posted! Jennifer
What times would work best for everyone? Personally, anything after 4 pm Eastern Time works for me (1 pm Pacific.) I don't want to be going after eight o'clock, though, because I should be eating and getting to bed by then.
So, let's say that we will plan to have a call at 2:00 PM Pacific Time (3:00 Mountain, 4:00 Central, 5:00 Eastern) on both February first and eighth. Who will be able to attend?
We are definitely going to need Echomoon and Morningstar's input before we commit to any time but I think I can do 1pm
were we live is 19 hours ahead os pacific standard time. so if it is 1 pm for you it will 8 am for us. But if its on a school day none of us will be able to do it since our schools start around 8 am. If we have it around 6 pm like Jennifer suggested then it will be 1 pm here Witch we also can't do if its a school day.
@Azurestorm that's why we've been doing the meetings on Friday afternoon/evening, because for those of you who live in Australia it will actually be Saturday morning🤯
@Dragon yeah that will work but we might have Saturday sport. but if we don't It will be fine
I have to bow out if it's on Saturday, sorry. Just an idea Google Hangouts has a message function too, maybe we could use that as a way to contact each other whenever we want.
We are already doing that, and you won't believe how many times I've been spammed
@Dragon I'm not part of the spamming just to let you know... Its everyone else!!
@Brightberry I haven’t been spamming either...
Anyone can be a victim of spamming, is Azure Storm even on it yet because if not, welcome to a world of pain. Also can I join the message chain?
If you want to. Do you have the app called Google Hangouts?
If not, you need to get it or I doubt you'll be able to join. If you do have it, post your phone number in the comments so I can invite you. Delete the comment once I let you know I've seen it.
I have it attached to my Gmail browser.
i use my gmail to access it, will that work because i dont think ive signed in with my phone before.
