More group project whining
We had class yesterday. I expected one of them to talk to me during our break. No one did.
But Lisa managed to sleep through most of class and Ben managed to type notes.
I was so frustrated neither of them responded or approached me I failed to take action. (In my defense, we all know I'm not their nanny. I can't shove this stuff down their throats - they need to take responsibility here, too.)

Hey you guys
So, I am assuming you did a bit of research over the last week on our project topic?
I figured we could split it up into three parts:
1- The Historic figure of 'St.George'; how his real actions inspired a fantastic legend in the middle ages
2- The Legend of St.George; importance in Western history and culture
3- Contemporary (current) importance in the world; influence on Western history
From what I can put together option 1 is an in-depth look into his historically recorded actions and comparing these actions to the legend - how they parallel in important ways (symbols are present). Option 2 is probably the most extensive, looking into the legend during all periods of history and how his legend inspired certain figures or nations. Option 3 is the most easy, since you need to list the churches/cathedrals dedicated to him, the countries, regions, and rulers that associate with him, et cetera. It is looking into solid fact vs. analysis.
I would personally like to do option 1 or 2.
Of course, we can all review before class and during break what information we have accumulated a week from this Thursday. I would like to get these steps under way ASAP so we are not rushing toward the end of May.
I am sure you guys know the project outline is up and ANGEL, too.

My patience is being tried. Quite a bit. On Thursday, if no one responds, I am getting to class early and the three of us are having a 'little chat'.
Lisa insisted we communicate. Well, champ, guess who is the person actually trying to plan stuff...? Pardon me, but I work in the afternoons, commute to the college, and do homework in the evenings - I am frequently busy and am still able to e-mail you two. YOU have far more free time than me. Why don't YOU step up some?
And Ben has said essentially nothing since our group was formed. He just nods.
I hate this.
