Chasing cars.. chasing assignments

Two assignments down today.

Yay. It marks the end of the terrible HW. Actually I realised it's not so terrible afterall. I don't know my group mates until I came to this tutorial group. And frankly, I don't really have good impression of the whole team in general cuz we were quite lost at first, with the fact that very few will go to lectures. and always come late for tutorials and meetings. and also a "i-don't-know-what-to-say" AT group member. We are the most problematic group all the time. Always finding tutor for help. maybe the tutor doesnt have a good impression of us. The only time she sees us all 6 present was during the first proposal conference. After that, it's always 3 or 4... problems. to the extent i even think of just dropping it if i can and go exchange to clear. i have all the means to do that.

our group always have a super big problem with being punctual. not pinpointing anyone. but in general, including me too. when we say meeting starts at 3, people will turn up at 4. after that, we did improve lah. how can a always-not-punctual people do a project on punctuality? okay contradicting.

we always have to trouble the tutor alot of times. we have second conferencing for both assignments. letting her read our stuff over and over again. though our proposal didn't do very well. but i hope our final report can at least give us a better grade than before. and also commitment issues in the group.

today when we submit our project. we excluded this member from the report. so she was quite strict and ask us to come into the meeting room and chat with her. she asked us to send her an email as to why we exclude him out of the group. bet he has also predicted it. few weeks ago, we also spoke to her about this issue, but she hasnt take action til 2 weeks ago? she say she is apologetic that this situation falls on us this time. that it was quite unfortunate. but this is fate lah. we are too kind initially. we should choose our group members carefully. like i've said, we are the group which approaches her more times that any other group.

as to other group members. sometimes i worry about the commitment issue too. so sometimes i start shooting arrows. but then eventually, i found that im the one who didnt actually contributed alot because finals are starting. and i cant be very keen on to do the project. but before that, i kept shooting questions on the project. cuz we seem to have alot of loopholes around. and true enough, our project is not those typical finding results from something kind of thing. ours is more of an invention of something to improve something. okay sounds cheem. but i hope i did contribute to the project significantly. the amount of work that my group mates chiong the last minute surprises me too. especially that night when we stayed up late to finish our draft proposal (but still turn out to be very cui) til 5am. the productivity shocked me too, when im really going to be concussed already. my english is not so good, the tutor always pinpoint at parts i write. somehow i don dare to voice out my opinions as much as last time.

and also we had much fun tgt talking nonsense, dragging the project to online meetings all the time. making fun of certain people. that's what made it more relaxing and easier to deal with. fun people in my group.

thank you all for the wonderful time! happy travelling with shuttle bus C!
