Now I have two long posts instead of one stupidly long one. Part 2 of the same post becuase lj-cuts refuse to work for me lately. I was hoping they would but alas. *Edited because now I have a computer that lj-cuts

So without further adieu:

I want to know what kind of Prof. has students do a group project on a online class? Does it makes sense? Hell no! How does everyone work out schedules? Dunno. Why should Prof. care? Becasue she has it a bit easier on her end.

Part of what she wrote to Tarra:

By now, has one group member emerged as a leader? Have there been others than are cooperative and will follow any directive? In any case, it is part of the task to work out the format and purpose of the paper. What we are looking for is not just several parts put together, but rather a paper that looks as if one person wrote it. I hope this helps.

Then why not just have each person write a paper themselves? But it would make it easier to read two big papers than just like 12.

Or maybe I'm just bitching but seriously I'd almost rather do this paper on my own than with a group of 7 people. None of which are in my general vicinity (actually I have no idea where most of them are). And not only that she keeps asking if a group leader has emerged. Why should that matter? It should be group collaboration. Although methinks I have a serious closeted aversion to authority. What kind? All! When? Whenever I feel like it!

Yep, I think this is why I study psychology, not to help others but to figure out all my stupid little quirks. Like my thing with dots (I won't mention for my own sake); it weirds the fuck out of me. God if any trained professional knew what I thought half the time, they'd lock me up for sure. But everyone says that... :-P

I'm also sad that I had to issue a refund to someone for the book I sold on Half.com. I had no idea that it was listed as paperback. Now I put myself on vacation so I could check all the books I have listed. I'll do that tommrow though cause I'm not in the mood. And because I'm just lazy enough not to go under the bed to get the books to check their conditions. ;-)

I saw Jess C yesterday. It was odd but sorta nice. Even with all the broken promises. Ah, the joys of friendship.
