This semester is my most difficult. Not becoz the workload is heavier than usual but becoz i finally get the taste of the saying "Group dynamics is the most important part of project work".
It all started when an exchange student joint the project group without our acknowledgement. Well, let's not point fingers to say that one should be sought group consensus/ agreement before letting him join. I received an email from him 2 night ago, asking us to send in our portions within 24hrs coz he's leaving on vacation to Cambodia & only returning 1 day before submission date! There was no whiff of this info during our grp discussions & the best part, our dear friend didn't even turn up for class, despite know that we had to tie-up some loose ends of for the project.
I am usually very cautious abt who i work with & always choose part-time Singaporean students as project teammates. Simple reason, becoz we understand the pains of juggling work + studies & honestly, how irresponsible can a Singaporean get? We burn our wkends and well, generally have the same whines about classes & papers. The Friday class i am taking has lesser SG students from my cohort & majority were made of Yr 1 students. Joined a new group & well, this had to happen. & the best part, the group seems to be too presumptous about many thgs.
I don't know how i am getting past this wkend. No paper submitted = No US trip = No graduation = No wedding = No brand new start in HK.
Gosh, pray for me. I need to absent myself from work on Mon.
