Here we go again...

If there is one thing I will absolutely not miss about college, it is group projects.

I'm currently in the process of working on two group projects, with two seperate groups. Both are driving me a little bit insane.

The members in one of my groups expect me to do pretty much everything. In fact, I have organized pretty much all of the important stuff for our project. Then, I go to class, and they tell me that they're feeling nervous about our presentation because they don't think we have enough good information. Um... Maybe you should take on some responsibility and DO SOMETHING. They practically confronted me about it, which I thought was ridiculous. I've organized everything so far (including an interview, in which one of my lovely group members grabbed my prepared questions from my hands, and proceeded to ask each one of them. Awesome.) I just got an e-mail that said they are meeting tomorrow to work on it. It would have been nice to have been involved in choosing a time to meet, since I will be at internship all day tomorrow, and won't be able to participate. But hey, maybe this will give them a chance to redeem themselves and actually do some work.  SO frustrating.

My other group members are lazy. Last week, I had to go up in front of the class and write down what our group had discussed. Then, my professor asked someone from each group to come up and explain everything. I told my group that one of them could do it since I had already done my share of work. None of them even considered it. My professor heard me, and said "this should be someone different from the person who wrote on the board." Still, nothing. My professor looked at me and said, "sorry, Jamie. I tried." They're even lazy when the professor is sitting right next to them!! Then, I get an e-mail from one of my group members today asking if I can send her my paper so that she can just read off of it for her part of the presentation. I told her that I wasn't planning on it, and that everyone needs to do some of the work. She texted me today and said the the professor told her everyone was supposed to go off of my work. What kind of project is this?! I am so done.

No wonder I'm sick all the time.. I'm doing the work of 6 other people on top of what I already have to do.

You call yourselves "Professionals." Really?

Pissed.
