i'm left in waiting mode for i think 45 minutes so i decided to blog about group asisgnment which i am doing right now. i guess for anyone of you whoever work with anybody at all which you obviously did by now will definitely recognize that in any particular group, there will be one that stops the track. there will be one that is held under the captivity of negativity(lolol reference from t-bag). hence lets just put it direct coz its my blog. there will be one that is fucked up.
i had this conversation with a white boy named kin yew and he told me that in his experience in his college group assignemnts, he has this one friend that sticks to him. ps. its a code in life where you must have something sticking to you in order to lean on. ok so anyways he told me yea he's cool together, in class were together but really in terms of working with him, he's horrible man. first of all he's not fluent in writing and really he's just a burden.so i ask him what he did? did he tell him? well he wanted to but eventually he kinda pity him coz he has nobody and etc etc. and he's a nicer guy than i am.
this is the problem with college assignments man. you just had this one bad group mate that you don't want to stick around and really my requirements is not too high for a group mate you know. if you can work and write and be able to contribute then yea. but if you don't, what good are you? its not some kinda company where there's hr department and shit and its not like being the leader of an assignment gives you the power to fire off someone. no you can't. and telling to lecturer will totally not work. coz they are sort of the client and they don't and do not need to care what shit goes off behind the curtain. and this is the problem that i'm having. (i didin't tell the lecture. thats a loser move)
so what happens if you tell that person off? are you gonna live your college life in lesser comfort? coz lets be honest, friction is bound to occur if you would've ditch that person. its sort of like "hey we can be friends but we can't work together" i mean yea i would do that but its sort of revolving people around you and you don't want them to go to college feeling uncomfortable. i mean i would fuck it but still a certain amount of ease will definitely be gone. and next year is my final year...and i think i'm ready to do whatever it takes just to get what i want and what i don't want...coz i'm just that kinda person.

usually i delegate the work among my groupmates. there's always someone weak in certain areas, but can do well in others. there was this guy in my group that doesn't talk alot, not fluent in english, but he could draw the graphs well, so i leave that work to him.
if your case is the guy who is weak in everything.. then i were u, i would find a time, ask him sit down for coffee or something, and tell him directly the situation. Don't put it like "you suck at group assignments" but a more gentle (but assertive) approach like "you do know where your standards lie right now, right?" make him ponder.
regardless whether he knows or not, make sure that he'll at least improve in certain areas where he can manage. If the guy knows he's a burden and doesn't bother to make improvements, then make sure u never do group assignments with him, and be firm with that; doesn't matter if he knows lots of chicks or wadever shit.
Lastly there's always a some workload delegation sheet or something for every group assignments. if you cant tell the lecturer that he doesn't do anything, then let that sheet do the talking: make sure he doesn't get the contribution he deserves.
Do whatever it takes for your own good!
and by the way, isn't that white boy the blonde boy?
LOL.I think i am that guy.
I remember on the first day in Uni ,after we had our groups . The first thing i told all my group members was..
"Look , i am fucking useless , i got a part time job (guitar teaching) , i am here because my parents force me to get a degree , i don't fucking plan to study and i don't wanna do shit . Here's the deal , i pay you RMXXX per person PER semester.Don't call me . Just put my name on it , pay check will be in every 1st of the month."
They all agreed . We've been doing it for every semester until we all graduate. You know , sometimes money can get you really far .

wilson - the white boy is brunette
gapnap - seriously? damn. its not too good but yea money can get you really far at times. but too bad i have none of it.
