For this task I went ahead and eavesdropped on a Skype conversation that took place between a few Seniors at my school. To supply some background information, the person on the other end of the line took the year off to learn in another country. I have the conversation recorded as follows:


Person 1
Hi Elle did I wake you up?

Person 2
Its midnight here

Person 1
Do you know what time you’re coming home on the 22^nd

Person 2
Not really right now but I will in a few weeks

Person 1
Because we’re trying to plan a surprise party for you and
stuff

Person 2
Oh that’s cool, my parents are picking me up so I might be
busy right when I get back but yeah

Person 1
You’ll probably be hella jetlagged anyways

Person 2
What was that?

Person 1
I’m using Skype so everyone can hear you

Person 2
Oh really?

Person 1
Yeah, Dylan, Britney and Becky are all here

Person3
Tell her that there’s lots of drugs here

Person 1
Dylan wants me to tell you that there are a lot of drugs here

-screaming noise-

Person 1
You’ll have to excuse the screams, that’s Brian pinching
Britney out of affection

Person 1
Anyways, I can’t really hear you over all of the background
noise now and you probably want to go back to sleep

Person 2
Alright, I’ll talk to you later

This was the whole conversation as I recorded it, of course I may have missed a few comments due to the fact that it went by relatively quickly. The experience was very interesting due to the fact that I was almost always afraid that they would see my notes, which might be the source of some awkward conversations. Luckily I pulled it off without anybody noticing.
