When’ll it stop?
Alright. I’ve just about had it. How do people get the idea that they can just take advantage of me left and right? Am I really that pathetic, to take the crap that everyone gives me and just do it for them?
Last thursday/friday I was ready to toss trash from my mouth at my group in English class. I decided to wait to post this so I didn’t throw in any unneccessary swear words in here. Well, we were assigned a drawing project to draw things that related to a poem on a sheet of paper maybe…double the size of your average 8 and a half by 11 paper. And this is a group project.
Well, my group gave me a bull story about “Oh, we’re not artists, we can’t draw. You’re the only artist, you do it” sort of thing. Which totally threw me for a loop. The teacher SPECIFICALLY said that this isn’t a judgement on your artistic ability. But they insisted that I do it all, no matter how much I talked to them.
That’s been happening for ages. This where people are just too lazy to get off their butts and do the freaking work themselves. Art class, English class, whatever. It’s always the group projects.
I was about to go up to the teacher and just say that they did absolutely nothing for this project, and don’t deserve any mark whatsoever. But, me being a stupid idiot, just let it slide. But seriously…that won’t ever happen again. If I get stuck doing all the work…well, I just won’t do it. I’ll get my part done. And then I’ll just mention to the teacher that I did everything I need to, and that I refuse to pick up the slack of the lazy group members.
So, basically what I’m saying now is this. If you plan to take advantage of my skills and time, don’t expect anything out of it. I’ve had enough of people sitting back and watching me do all the work.

I’m not going to bother with anything to do with that assignment anymore. I’m just not going to group with them ever again, and hope that it works out better. But if that DOES happen again…watch out!
