More problems

Having trouble thinking of a response for the discussion board. Most of that I guess goes back to the fact that I still don't really get the purpose of this whole project. I think get it, but I don't. What about someone's place am I describing? Where they work, or more about the people there? I guess it's kinda hard to figure out someone's place based on a few questions in a minute long chat. Maybe I needed better questions prepared too.

I'd also say it doesn't help that many of the people I talked to were somewhat quiet, trying to push a brochure or pamphlet. I was hoping I'd be able to get more info out of the person behind the MS Society table. I tried to ask (twice even) just what exactly people who volunteer there do so I could get a better idea of what I'd be getting into, but she ended up describing what MS was. And not well. I was most drawn to that table because my dad has MS, and I was hoping I could help out there, but the "interview" process turned me off too much.

I still don't know how to describe a place based on what people do there. Even if she had done a great job answering my questions, I still don't know what I'd say about the "place."
