September 16

My group-mate, Jane, texted me late on Wednesday night and said there were some problems with our group paper (due on Friday). She asked to meet in the morning, and of course I agreed. So, on Thursday I woke up and headed to campus expecting to have to re-write half the paper over the course of 3 hours. Instead, it wasn't as bad as she had made it seem and just needed us to come together for a little discussion. She finished up referencing and I turned in my paper for my other class that was due today! I had just enough time to grab a bite to eat with Andy and Hans before class!

Here is where we sit to discuss group projects:


Our Monday lecturer was a guest lecturer for our Thursday class, which was kinda cool because we were already familiar with her. She discussed aboriginal tourism in Australia and the class seemed pretty interested in the discrimination of Aboriginals. After class, I met with another group for a different project and went to the library for an hour or so to download a few articles on baseball (for another assignment that is due in just 7 days!) Then I went home and read some of those articles while I waited to get the finished group paper for editing. I received it at 9pm and it took me 4 hours to edit because many of the sentences did not make sense in English and because the paper was TWICE as long as it needed to be. So I had to discriminate what should be cut out from the paper! I couldn't get it under the word limit, so it ended up being 200 words over. Hopefully we don't get punished for this!
