Tears in my Eye

I honestly become disgusted with group-work for university, but it’s a must-do, so I can hardly avoid it. Some people are unable to understand the concept of group work, but I’ve never enjoyed these „therapy sessions“ anyways. I prefer to lead a team and not face endless debates about a „what if“ or „what if not“ decision (where’s the final decision being made, eh?), especially if others don’t ever have the idea and concept of „the master plan“. I decide, and I only hate to decide if there are people involved who I like. That’s probably why I rather choose to „not decide“ in groups where people from my Semester are involved.

But for others who I don’t like – there you go: Why are people dumb and don’t do their work after 4 weeks of time have passed? What kind of a lazy bum can you be to stick your nose into International Management without being interested to work your ass off? And why does one group (mine) have to take over the lead – if the other groups are just incapable of creating some kind of achievement for their work – by which the others would experience a great benefit to the whole cause and progress of the project? In my opinion, they’re not worth to become any kind of managers. Not even the facility managers can be so damn lazy. Where’s the catch? Did you pass your school’s graduation diplomas with sports, arts and music as majoring subjects to pass the Numerus Clausus? Lazy freaks. Where’s got the frog his golden hair – on the butt!

But that’s been not our problem, except one small issue concerning today’s meeting: Earlier this evening we’ve been experiencing some entertaining moments for our Marketing group to plan the Culture-Day to advertise our Institute among the city’s population and future-students from the local schools. The problem for me was – I was designing the logo while the others were arguing about other groups and their work, and once I was finished, they suggested new input for the logo design which were rather silly and useless according to the standards and understanding of a former graphics designer (me). Of course, I’m not perfect, but I’m not going to tolerate any critics. This is how the game is played – bear with the consequences. I’m just too nice sometimes.

And now I’ve been kept busy with a useless powerpoint presentation for the Spanisch 4 language course… my eyes are burning, and I wish some tears would give them some moisturing effect, but unfortunately I’m so burnt out that I’m facing the consequences of tiredness – sleep. Good Night!

    Ain’t it a drag. I recall in the second semester i gave up and just followed the group although i was supposed to be team leader, after they made my mate cry by not listening.

    U know what i noticed… The more i gave up and showed signs of discontent the more the group fed on that. When i came back to join the third semester (with a massive boost in confidence) i took the group by storm and control of what i was supposed to be leading… Just through confidence (but of course need to have some knowledge of the subject to be able to do that… Hehe).

    And yes, no matter what u do some just don’t learn to keep over comparing to other teams. Thats where u have to reassure the progress using more than ure own opinion… Perhaps the opinion of a lecturer also. The dynamics of group interaction… Hahaha… Could it be more of a pain???
