Tim quit, but revival worked?

All right, so another update as promised.

Tim, one of our team-members, Tim, quit yesterday. Not only the collaboration on our project, no, the study altogether has failed to interest him any longer. We discussed this, and as I told him we would prefer it for him to stop working with us, instead of coming over to school only for us, the decision was not hard to make.

So, one member short. How do we continue? Julia unfortunately had some problems with her health, which was why she didn't came to the meeting yesterday. She's still a bit ill, but she promised to come to school nevertheless this and upcoming week. Encore, encore.

Not that I'm such a perfect little angel, I didn't come to today's meeting. I overslept. Oops. Texted Paul, and he didn't mind. But still, it's not what I'm used to from myself.

Internal (about the project):

We really did some hard work. The concept stands. It's an educational game for men to play while waiting for their pregnant wives while they do their monthly routine checks.

More info soon :)

Reviving

Yeah I guess we all needed to be shaken up a bit. I mailed the whole team with a plan to get this thing on the road again. I can't wrap my head around the fact that some people are perfectly comfortable with just slacking their way through a project.
I mean, you get a chance to prove your talent in a project! That's a great opportunity, and if you do it correctly you can
1) make friends
2) get experience
3) have something nice to put on to your portfolio.

Anyway, yesterday I did the mail and I got a positive responds from one of the members (and incidentally the teamleader of this project), Paul. He really understood to put our force together because we're running behind schedule. I have confidence the damage won't be too big, but I'm not sure what to do with the other two team-members. Especially Tim, who's been away from the project for over two weeks.

I'll update here.

First blog, first two weeks

My first blog/log that I'm doing with the blogger.com system. I think this will be useful. You're probably reading this from my portfolio website, right? Well, I figured it would be quicker and easier to just blog all the updates from here!
That's right, expect this blog/log to be bursting with energy soon.

About school. We jusr ended our second week. The first week was interesting; we paid a couple of visits to the hospital for researching. There, we actually found some existing examples of interactive informative installations! Good to know the hospital is open for these kind of things, so they might actually show interest in whatever we're planning to make.

How do you make visitors at a hospital play a game? It's not that they're in the mood for something like that, are they? This is a tough question we solved in the second week.

In the second week we actually did something with the results we got earlier. What kind of place in the hospital has a positive, almost exciting feel to it? Well, the maternity ward of course!
This is where our focus will be: a helpful game, played by the soon-to-be fathers, who go to the hospital with their wife or girlfriend on a regular basis.

They probably ought to learn something about helping her out when she's unable to walk and things like that. Also, maybe a bit of a preparation for when the kiddo is there? How does he respond to situations? What can he do to help?
