For the last two days, Dan, myself and the rest of our group has been working almost solidly on our group project. It’s been a long haul, finding out last minute things that need to be included, formating around 80 references to very specific standard, choosing words carefully and balancing word counts. Heck even just reading over 8,000 words aloud had its challenges.
But although I’m tired, and a little drained, I only really lost my cool the once, and mostly I’ve kind of enjoyed it. I certainly don’t feel the mental anguish and loss of energy I do say spending 4 hours on a math-based assignment. I think its because I know as a team we can get through it. We’ve worked so hard and come so far, I know no-one is going to let us down and we’ll pull each other through. It has also shown me what I want from a job, that camaraderie, that you aren’t in it alone, or having to prove yourself or compete.
It’s also shown me that I can edit and write reasonably well, and more importantly not want to kill anyone too much after spending a day doing it, something I cannot say for working with MATLAB (if you don’t know, MATLAB is a program for coding mathematical programs).
So to my project group- hang on in there! You’ve been really awesome, I am so proud to be a part of this group.
