Sigh. Its just the start and problems are already surfacing. The
seniors say its all about meeting datelines and learning how to
work in a group. if i have to work hard for my grade, i will, even
if it means sacrifacing sleep just to meet the tight deadlines. im
willing to commit and work hard but why wont my group members do
that too?
so far, we didnt manage to do anything every pw session. i can tell
that out of the five of us, only the two of us are more serious
about pw. the other one might participate but the other two guys
just cant and wont work. they either digress and talk about other
things, or do childish stuff like shooting rubber bands at each
other and snatching each other's stuff.
first was the deciding of who to be the leader and the secretary. i
think its right and logical to choose the one whom you think is
capable of the role instead of sabo-ing and shooting any random
person anyhow. it took just three sessions for us to do that and we
only did that when i called for a vote to be done to settle this
once and for all. can you imagine how far behind now that we have
wasted so much time?
then was discussion. the rest would talk about other stuff and
before we knew it times up and we havent settled anything. i tried
to get the rest back into the discussion but after a while, the two
guys would digress again and we're back to square one. its really
exasperating. i dont dare to tell them in a more than gentle tone
to get back to discussion cos i dont want to strain our friendship
and appear too domineering.
lots of things are due soon and i really dont know how to get the
group focused on our task and get going. if uni's all about
projects, i dont know how ill survive.
