Angry Amy.

First off, I apologize for not replying to those who have so kindly sent me encouraging words and regular responses. I appreciate that.


Secondly, let it be known that if I fail gradschool it will be because of the sheer about of group work that is such a stupidly high percentage of my grades. Let it be known that I send emails and communicate openly and allow time for agreeing on the final version and making changes then my group mate adds a few sentences to the assignment and SUBMITS IT WITHOUT RUNNING IT BY ME. Suddenly I get an email with her portion added in and a note that she went ahead and submitted the assignment.

A WHOLE SECTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT was LEFT OUT. Her portions were measly and weak and pathetically short.

And the administration doesn't want to hear our group work woes. Have I mentioned the "don't be needy" lecture? HAVE I?

Well, if they give me a bad grade I will just have to "be needy' and make it known that sometimes even as adults there are mis-communications. And sometimes there isn't even a chance to point out where more work should be done b/c the other person just goes and submits it without my approval or feedback! I didn't even say I was done with my part I just said, here's what I have done so far, would you please add in the remaining sections of the report? Assuming she would do so and email it back to me. And we'd agree on how to finalize it and THEN submit.

I AM SO ANGRY.

By the way, of COURSE I finished the assignment up, resubmitted it with a polite comment in the comment box of the submission tool stating the first version was incomplete and to please take note of that. Luckily it isn't due til tomorrow so hopefully they will gladly accept the more complete version as it was submitted early.

Still, we could have put a whole other day's work into it!

WTF. GRADSCHOOL CUT THE GROUPWORK SHIT OUT.

I am a communicator, organizer extraordinaire and with other competent people we make great projects, but if I get people who don't even allow for my opinions/thoughts no amount of communication and suggestion will help. duh.

P.S: this is in a huge hundreds of students lecture hall style class. this whole assignment had to be done via email communication. I couldn't pick this girl out of a crowd. For all I know she's an off campus student.

Just so you all know, my head exploded. I did five pages single spaced. She added maybe two mini paragraphs worth of writing. LEAVING HUGE SECTIONS WITH ONLY TWO/THREE SENTENCES. NOT OKAY. The report looks horrible with some sections having whole pages and others a line or two. OMG. OMG.

OMG.

This is horrible. Someone send cookies and hugs and rainbows.

RAWR.
