I am copying a link to an article from one of my favorite authors, Hollis Gillespie. She lives in Atlanta and has an amazing way with words.
I feel that it represents how class has gone this week and I'd like everyone to read it.

This week was bumpy, yes, and a little aggravating, but in the end we came upon a type of unity conclusion. This conclusion is one that will probably help us to swerve around the suitcase or cases. That is true because humans no matter how connected came still find something irritating about another, even if only a little period of time.

This story was definitely creative. It really shows how two very different things are so much alike. I could really appreciate a story like this because i can relate to it in so many ways.In any event, our class is opperating in a slightly disorganized way but i really feel like eventually things get done. Most of our packages are seemless and we really do work hard.

I think that majority of us are just stuck in one spot. We run out of story ideas that we can do that are appropiate for school. We would like to take on a challenge but school rules prevail us from producing packages that are more daring. So we just give up and stop working so hard. It is not that we do not care but like the suitcase we are waiting for something to change so that we can move on.
ReplyDeleteI understand where you coming from and i agree with us doing nothing the past week and just chilling i think its because as soon as we done with a package we got another package due in like a week and somedays and then you complain saying that there are no packages when there are like 5 different groups in this class who all turn in different packages so we should always have a package to air but then at the same time there are some lazy students in this class who always want to chill and not do nothing...its their grade so i don't think it should bother you when you try to push them and they still chillax
ReplyDeleteThis story relates to group assignments and the working with people in general. In the world, we will always work with people who are dead weight or people who complain about the little things. I think sometimes it might be approapriate to let that person know that their actions may be holding the company back or slowing down the completion of an object. There's always a time and place for everything, and I think there is never a time for dead weight, etc.

i dont know how to respond to this. its pretty much opinion based. i just know for some this may be true and for others its not. im still confused about this even after you explained
ReplyDeleteIts like you said, a whole bunch of fuss and nothings being done. So as a class,we need to start doing more instead of adding to the fuss
ReplyDeleteI remember you reading that to a few of us in class one day. i realized a few things after you did. i think people do worry about the little things which could be resolved. that's their only focus, fight and complain about it but don't take action. i now know i have to take action and try to get by it to get what i need to be done accomplished.

I wasnt here that week only partly due to reasons, but i read bits and pieces of the article as well as some comments. Blah, Blah, Blah, is all i could relate to. As long as the work gets done and everyone straight, we are good. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, very interesting story indeed. I still was nt here o fully understand the turmoil that occured that week. However, like a suitcase in the road someon can decide to hit it or evade it. Like in class we can do what we have to do and be done with the year or do nothing and hope for the best.
