Assignment 1 after-thoughts

Assignment 1 was definitely an interesting experience. I learned a lot about how I work within groups, and how others tend to work in groups, especially on a tight deadline. With a lot of solid-minded creative people at our school, it is no wonder when everyone in a group wants to do things their own way. However, I think part of what we're learning is how to compromise with others to create the best outcome. I think my strongest point is knowing what to do or leave out depending on time restraints so that we dont end up way over our heads without enough time to finish. I need to work on being more of a perfectionist in the sense that I get sick of focusing on one thing pretty easily. I've always liked to bounce around on concentrations and tasks so its hard for me to follow something through hardcore until there are no seconds left in the day. I usually trust my own judgement though, so it's difficult for me when others are not satisfied at the same time as me.


I was initially upset by the fact that our group was not ready for our presentation at the beginning of class. I know that we should have been more prepared but I also think we could have handled things differently. There are good and bad ways to cover for our own mistakes.

It was interesting to see the other group's presentation. Knowing the members of the other group, it was easy to see how their project panned out. I think we were all a little shell shocked because we didn't know what to expect or how exactly to do the project, which is understandable on a new project.  There were other things i wanted to write about but now i am drawing a blank......

well, bottom line, i am learning to work and cope with my classmates. I got to see an amazing part of atlanta that I may never have discovered (art stroll friday april 24!), and I got to hang out with my classmates (although it may have gotten tense at times!)

and so it goes....
