It's very difficult to be grouped with others who are lazy..

I just want to release my anger here..i'm sorry..Well,I am having a hard time today because i am the only one who is doing our project in biology. The project is very hard because it is an investigatory project. It's very difficult for me because i am the only one who is concerned with our project. They are just there saying,"hey, wat's with our project..blah blah blah"..They always tell me these things yet they don't even help me..I do OUR project on my own because i don't want to get a failing grade in biology..I want to pas the subject because i don't want to waste my time. If i can do, then i will do it..without their help.. I am really sorry for this..i just want to share..Have you also experience my scenario?

One that I can hardly forget is when I was at college. We were given the opportunity to choose our own Physics laboratory report team. I was with a friend and we made a team with a student foreigner since the other groups were full. So, we had only 3 people whereas other group had 4-5 members each. The student foreigner always didn't join us in doing the laboratory report. First time was a forgive. Second was a warning. Third time, I and my friend told our teacher. Thankfully, he understand but we did nothing - just wait and see how it would go - . Fourth time, we didn't put his name on our lab report and we told our teacher the reason why . So, the guy had to do his own lab report and we were very happy that he had to struggle so much to do it alone (I know, I sound evil ). After that, he always participated in doing the lab report.

I think that served as the lesson to the guy. How i wish that our teacher have the same attitude as that of yours. I really want my groupmates to learn a lesson that its not good to let their other groupmate be the only one doing the project. It's a group project not an individual one..:)

Yup, thankfully my teacher understand. I bet he learnt it really well because he kept asking us when we will do the lab report, where would we met, what should he do and so on. It was really fun to see him changed for good.

Unfortunately, I have been in that situation many many times. A couple of times I went to the teacher and he or she helped me out by switching groups around, but sometimes it was too late or the teacher didn't really care. I hated doing all that work and everyone getting a passing grade for just sitting there, or sleeping, or even skipping class altogether.

Now, i even told my teacher about that issue but he only said that the grouping is final. My groupmates don't even bother to help me out..How i wish i was with the groupmates that are industrious..Wow, i only notice that you have a long patience because you were able to endure the situation for many times. Here i am, my first time to experience that, complaining again and agian. I just wish i have long patience as you..:)
