Oh the Research..

I don't know about you guys, but research is a pain in the tushie for me. I know that it is inevitable for a college english class, but on the up side I was glad we were able to work in groups. When we were first starting this project, we were divided into groups of people who had somewhat the same service learning genre, The funny thing is that I am not entirely sure that our group stuck with that topic. Nonetheless, we are working hard on our current topic. I enjoy working in groups because of the ole' saying, "two heads are better than one." In this case, its four heads which is even better! With multiple people in the group then the overwhelming workload of a 20-40 page research paper can be divided up into something a bit more manageable in these last few stressful weeks of the semester. For the most part my group has been pretty reliable. Some members have not fully completed their portion as of yet but there is still time before our rough draft is due. For every good thing there is of course a bad thing. What I mean is that with the benefit of having more people to help with one big project, I struggle in the sense of control. I like to have things done my way, because if its my way it is not right. Yes, yes, I am well aware of how terrible that this sounds, BUT I am just a little specific in how I like to accomplish things in life. Working in groups is a big test for me because I tend to become a little impatient and overbearing in what my group members are doing. Overall, my group has been on top of their game and are chugging along on this research paper. Hopefully all the stress and hard work will reflect in our grade. HINT HINT WINK WINK!!
