I submitted *the* final technology assignment! Hooray!
Although I don’t want to be too excited as I know the work I submitted was subpar. Technology is the one subject I’ve always struggled with – and its mainly because (A) it requires me to work in a group, (B) I always somehow end up with a dysfunctional one, and (C) The subject isn’t my best.
Now, don’t get me wrong; I have no problem working with other people. I flourish in groups, but only if the group wishes to flourish together. When you become the only dependable person in your group – then that becomes a problem. I’ve had experience with people who go missing, to people who just copy off the internet/other people’s work (and can’t even do copying right – he still managed about a dozen spelling mistakes) to people who just won’t reply to my inane and constant messages to meet up so we can all do work together.
Oh, and I’ve also once had to go through a major panic attack when a group member decided to submit her part of the assignment merely seconds before the deadline – bear in mind at this point I had already called, texted, and Facebook messaged her over 50 times. I want to say I’m exaggerating – but unfortunately, I am not.
So you understand why I despise this subject.
I’ll admit that I’m not the best person to go to to understand the subject – I have little understanding of construction, so just imagine having the weakest link (me) having to pull an entire group together.
It never ends well. NEVER.
So even though I am elated that I managed to submit my work in time, I have very little confidence that I will be scoring either an A or a B for it. And as much as I hate to admit that I would settle for any less than an A/B… I would. Third year has been very tough on me – I started the year feeling all pumped up, and its safe to say I’ve been let down more times than I would have ever wanted to, so I’ve stopped expecting.
This has been a really whiny post so far, hasn’t it? Well, you’ll have to excuse me as I am currently ill and in the mood to whine, cry and be miserable in general.
