School Restarts

The one week break ends just like that, and as per every break, it ends up rather fruitless. The next few weeks ahead is gonna be pretty rough, but oh well. Handed in my website assignment yesterday, and again it was all last minute rushing. The deadline was strangely on a Sunday, so that meant that I had to spend the entire weekend in school.

It has been a while since I complained about school, so let me start right now. This is not the first time, but I was kinda pissed yesterday because of the project. Being the only one who had the advantage (or disadvantage) of knowing how to make a website, I didn't mind taking on the extra job of designing and creating the website. Being the only one staying on campus, I didn't mind staying back to hand in the report at 12 noon on a Sunday. But what I did mind was that some of the research given to me to put into the website turned out kinda 'not-here-not-there'. Eventually, it meant more work on my hand. Sometimes I really wonder what group work really means. Well, there was someone who stayed up on saturday night to help me finalise the stuff, but am kinda dissed at how some others just couldn't really be bothered about it. I bet if I didn't even finish the website or submit the report, they wouldn't even know, and wouldn't even be bothered.

When we normally work with others, and when someone fails to do his part or work, we can usually say, nevermind let him be punished and he will learn his lesson. But the same cannot be applied to projects. If we let him die, we will all die, so the only way is to suck it up and do his part for him. Sure, peer evaluation helps at times, but by how much. It didn't help that this project didn't have a peer eval system.
