[Law]

Mmm group projects I absolutely despise them. I get the portion of the work I am given done all the time, but then another person will just not show up or the rest of the group is disorganized. This screws everyone up, and it's terrible.

When doing group work I honestly sit there, and let them tell me what to do. I am a very shy person, and have trouble speaking face to face with people one on one let alone in a group of peers. I usually get stuck with some task that I find rather uninteresting, or I look like I'm not going to contribute because I'm to afraid to speak. I honestly feel rather pitiful for not talking about the actual work that needs to get done, and instead only letting them tell me what to do and doing it. I feel like if I don't add anything that I'm not contributing properly.

I've always been this sort of submissive person that let people walk all over him, and it can get boring or become quite a hassle to say the least when working in groups. If I'm in a group that is not on task I'm to afraid to say we need to work. If I'm in a group that has one person pretty much planning everything I feel useless.

I had a biology project one time. I don't really remember the specifics, but there had to be a speech for pitching some sort of chemical in the body. We got something that helped with muscle development, and I was a junior in a class of freshmen curse lab reports failing me the first half last time. Well it should be obvious what happened. A lot of the freshmen were being troublesome, and not really working so I had to come up with the entire project by myself then come time to actually go up and present the project none of them could present the project I myself entirely made. This made me very uncomfortable because I had to break out of shy, and get it done. I moved my partners about, and tried to make them do various things to personify our work but they were all being lazy or to shy themselves. I basically at one point forced one person into position, and came up with something I thought they would find entertaining on the spot. The chemical helped with muscle development so pitched it in a manner in which I had another partner flexing their muscles beside me and making rather hilarious grunting sounds. Saying wanna get buff wanna get strong well this is the chemical you need you want this chemical you need this chemical get this chemical.

Everyone enjoyed it, and I managed to get us an 100 but I must say I felt terribly uncomfortable that day and went around teary eyed all day because of how bad I felt. I also felt rather pissed and angry at my group for not even helping make the project and come presentation time they didn't even want to help present!
