you're a fuck.
So after chatting with Jeff, I was informed my philosophy professor for Introduction to Western Philosphy is THE WORST. I won't dispute with him. I have been advised to drop that class ASAP.
So all the other philosophy classes are full. Great. Again, I'll wait until next year.
So instead of that, I'm taking Culture and Ideas Wednesday night, and I had to change my Culture in Comparative Perspective to Tuesday and Thursday (no more semester of the Whalens, Lauren....boo)
Now, 4 days of school, and fucked for work because they only give me 4 days off every 2 weeks. We'll see how I manage that.
For those of you that talk to me on a regular basis, you know I had to do a group project on 'The Windsor Jail' for a class, which consisted of me and about 8 other people. I complained ALOT about this project, because I was put with a bunch of incompetent idiots who don't understand that University is different from Highschool.
Yeah, you're all from Toronto and your parents are paying for EVERYTHING for you, but that is not the case for me. I actually care about what I hand in, and I'm not going to suffer because you can't do a simple thing right. I HATE group projects.
I actually feel stupider for reading what I'm about to post.
I don't feel bad for making fun of this AT ALL.
On a good note, our presentation is done and out of the way. Even though I did about 45% total of ALL of the work, I don't care, because we'll get a good mark.
In about a week we have to hand in a final paper. We've all posted our segments to the paper online to eachother so we can all go over and review them. I just read one girls section, and I didn't know whether to laugh or feel really shitty that I, or someone else is going to have to basically rewrite the whole thing.
Read this, seriously.
"Reflection
In the begging our worked good together because we were trying to decide what site that we wanted to work on, we came up with a bunch of good idea but the site that we picked was the Windsor Jail. The reason why we picked the Windsor jail was because a lot of the group member we not from Windsor and the others group member that were from Windsor really didn’t know much about it. Another reason why we picked the jail was because one of the group members said that she had inside person that she could get information for us. When we were talking about this project it seemed that the task may have seemed overwhelming, but the job of a group is to scale it down and allow everyone to tackle it or equally.
In the middle of the project after the review of the project we seemed like we had a good project and we saw that out project was a good idea because we were the only ones doing this site. So after we got that back out group kind of went down hill, it seemed like we were just going into circles and not getting anything done. Then on top of that it seemed like there were a couple of people that were in the group that decided to take over the project, taking on all the work and not letting other people do there tasks in the project. It seems like the group was breaking down into two different groups; and not working that well together.
Then a couple of the group members went the out mentor (Neil) and talked to him about how to solve the problem that we were having, he decided that we should have a group meeting and set down what everyone was going to be doing in the group so that everyone doesn’t think that they are doing all the work. So after that meeting it seemed like the group came together and pick up there work and got back on tract. In the end it seems like when you are working in a group that there will always be people in a group that tries to take on everything, all the work and then complain about it.
In the end our group came together and made a very good project that could not have happened unless everyone came together and gave their input into what they wanted to see and what they thought was good looking. The day of the presentation it seems like everyone knew all the information about the project and if anyone would come up and ask about it would be able to give there input about it. In the end it all worked out."
Gee, I wonder why we "took on all the work", maybe because you're AN IDIOT.
Plus, I can honestly say, these people sat around and waited for us to designate them a "task". Nobody told me what to do? You fucking pick something to do, and do it. I'm not your mom.
I hope I never have to do anything like this ever again.
My education is going to cost over 6 thousand dollars a year. How is it, that the fate of my marks can lie in someone elses hands and not my own?
I'm done complaining.
