There’s certainly a lot of wonder and passion that goes into doing things that make me stress harder than I really should because, instead of rethinking plans and strategies, it’s much easier to start losing it internally and increase my chances of getting some sort of super-massive hernia.

In this instance, it’s group work.

Now, I know that the chances of me adding anything new to the conversation surrounding group work are quite small.

However, I’m still going to rant about it because, well, I feel like it.

Group work is a bane. It’s a plague among the souls of us all that only servers to corrupt and destroy.

Well, that’s not entirely true. It’s mostly a pain in the ass when it comes to university assignments, yet, as far as I’m aware, it has no real bearing among future group work as that is usually a bit different.

If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. However, I don’t believe that is the case, but then again, I can only go along with what experience I have and I must be prepared for that to be challenged and accept that my perception could be quite incorrect.

Anyway…

For one of my subjects this semester, group work is required.

We need to get something together as a presentation for everyone to be able to watch.

I’m not sure as to how much of it will actually end up being useful (we all need to be able to do something that can be used for study [as far as I’m aware]).

Essentially, it needs to hold attention through being interesting and be able to provide clear, concise information.

Well, it would seem that everyone in my group is not understanding of what I want to do, and perhaps that lies on my shoulders for not communicating.

At this point, we have a shortage of information in the format needed and I can say with conviction that that does not lie on my shoulders, so I’m going to choose to be arrogant about that, at least.

The major problem that has occurred due to this is that I’ll be editing it all together and only have some parts of tomorrow and Thursday to get everything sorted and, due to the shortage of information, will need to somehow get the rest of it as quickly as possible, then wade through everything and cobble it all together, hopefully sooner rather than later, whilst sorting out other things due to… well now I’m just crapping on instead of actually being proactive. However, I do have that option right now, so I am going to exercise it merrily.

Suffice to say, due to a lack of communication on the part of most of us (myself included), there’s now a lot more pressure to get everything together and I’m not handling it as well as I should, hence my whinging right now.

I can only hope that everything gets gathered together with very little difficulty, then victory becomes apparent.

Oh well.
