UGH!

Just got some of the stuff I needed from my presentation partner. To be fair, the content wasn't bad but the presentation needed some polishing. Just finished that up and sent it back to him.

This would have been so much easier if I had just done the whole thing myself. I hate, hate, hate group projects in school! I'll be soo glad when this class is done.

My son went from being the kid who sat back and did nothing in a group project (grade 3), to the kid who does the entire project himself (high school).

My son said when he was in college, he would just tell his group, look, I'll write the paper and give you all credit. But someone else has to get up their and present it. They always went for it.

We have to jointly present for this project. I don't mind doing the presentation parts. Presenting gets easier the more you do it.

I've made similar offers. However, I would always insist that people at least do some of the research and provide me with their notes. My main issue is that there is always at least one person in the group that just doesn't care. I don't think that my grade should suffer due to someone not contributing. Additionally, I don't think that someone else's grade should benefit from my hard work if they didn't contribute.

My partner for this project has contributed. He's just late in getting his stuff done and the formatting of it is a bit shaky. All easily overcome if he provided his stuff to me by Sunday night like we agreed upon in class last week. He just better have the rest of his stuff to me by noon today as that is when I have to head to my work outing. Class is after that so I can't retouch anything if he doesn't get it to me by then.

I'll tell you, I'm looking forward to the break in classes!

Working from home this morning.

My division at work is having a team outing this afternoon. We are going bowling. Have to leave from there a bit early to get to school tonight.

Final exam and final presentation at school this evening. Hoping to be done by 8 or 8:30 pm or so.

Work on Thursday and Friday.

First weekend in awhile where I won't have any homework! The only "must do" things this weekend are to take Brody Dog to the vet for some shots on Saturday morning and then a guitar lesson at noon. Other than that I'm a free-range SwiftDog!

Good luck on the final exam and final presentation. Extra hugs for Brody dog.

It can hit 50MPH in first gear!
Back in 1978 I drove a custom made Z28 off the showroom floor. Man I loved that car!

I have seen the specs. They are lighter than my 2012 and have a different chasis. Performance is a bit better due to the lower weight.

I just wish Pontiac was still around as a Firebird on that platform would have looked killer.

500MPH! Wow, that's insane. Thanks for reminding me I had to make my car payment today though. :) Today is leaf blower day; it's the day when the maintenance workers wander around wielding sundry bits of loud machinery meant to clear debris, trim hedges, and generally make the place look like a luxury apartment complex should. It's just loud and I feel like they spend an inordinate amount of time in one spot. It's like they're wasting time. Anyway I have a lot to do today. I hope everyone has a great day.:biggrin2:

I always wondered why they have to constantly rev up the leaf blower all the time. It's annoying!
