well, pw. i started off hating it. PI was still not too bad, cause i was working on my own. then came the part where we had to be grouped. i was hoping that somone, at least one person from my clique would be in the same group as me. not that i didnt like my other classmates, but it(pw) would be more bearable.
"you all wont get to choose your groups." said the teacher.
[ok...]
then he flashed the grouping on the screen.
morgan, debbie, peiyun, nathasha, wei cheng. and me.
[huh. py, nathasha, debbie, all from one clique... weicheng ar,got canoeing, dunno he will work not.. morgan..huh, that guy like got attitude problem one.]
from all my project work experiences, i gathered that guys were usually slackers, and i thought that once again, i had to do this myself, and share the credit with everyone.
the first project meeting was horrible. we all could not come to a conclusion to what we actually want to carry out. other groups all had pretty agreeable members, and they easily came to a decision. my group took a lot more time, and we were quite frustrated with each other. this further confirmed my initial perception of the group.
So group meetings were dreaded by all of us. i could tell. i remember our first meeting outside of the classroom, after pe on a thursday, it was already 6 plus in the evening, and we were all tired from a whole day of lessons, and still had to sit at the canteen table , staring into space, trying to squeeze out ideas for our group project proposal. which was due very soon. then morgan was the first to leave. it seemed to me that he couldn't wait to get out of school.
[oh man, how to work like that, everyone also not commited one... sian. ]
but then i dont know how, but later things turned out totally different. God answered my prayers. the GPP was completed in time, and EoM later, and then came the WR.
everyone did their part, and to my horror, or pleasant surprise, they were actually asking for more work. can you believe it.. we submitted draft after draft, and the night before each draft deadline, i was staying later and later. the first draft, i stayed up till 1am. the second, past 2 am , and the third and final, past 3 am. of course i was tired, but having the support of my group and strength from God, was what kept me going. i love them so much. nathasha, never failed to stay up with me, rushing the wr, proof reading it, and checking for any minor mistakes, NAT! i really appreciate it. and not to mention morgan, who does the research, searching for articles, mostly without being told, and they were very useful. debbie, always asking for more work, and putting together the collage which turned out very nice. peiyun, also asking for work, and she really takes pride in her work. in fact all of us did la, im sure. and of course weicheng, very guai, does what i ask him to without complaining.i know it was hard, the conclusion, and the manageability, feasibility, and all. im proud of all of us :D
then wr passed, and OP!
