Group Dynamics

This post is a rant.

There are certain disadvantages to not having many friends in your classes. In the last year, the main problem has been group projects. This quarter specifically, I am in an aircraft design group. Of course, the three other members of my group are buddies and chat all the time. Also, since I am the only female, I am of course an idiot and constantly needs to be reminded how much we have left to do. This is all happening, even though I was the only one done with my portion of the project at midterm time. Also, the last two meetings that we set up were cancelled, both times I showed up, and only once was called to be informed that nobody else was coming. I hate my group. I expressed my frustration last week. I don't care if they think I'm a bitch. Screw them. I already got into grad school and I don't care what they think of me.

Other news: apparently my online application to UCSB never went through. I have one more school to hear from, and then I begin to freak out about what to do. In two weeks I am leaving for vacation and couldn't be more stoked. My relationship is improving due to immense communication (geez this stuff is hard work). The engine light in my car was only on because I left the gas cap off for a few days. I have applied to two summer programs that would both be super amazing opportunities. Thats all for now!
