Oh God, please bestow me, Your humble servant great skills and brilliant ideas to blog about for TGJ4M T_____T (seriously, she really needs it~)

Hmm...so lets see..what did we do today in class?

We had self assessment session where we filled in a long list of items describing our general attitude and behavior. It was meant to be a personal task just to assess how self directed we were in achieving goals and tasks. After going through the list I am now pretty convinced that I have not much sense of direction. And also that I'm more of the solitary working type than anything. I honestly believe I'm more of the go with the flow type of person, and somehow that works for me.

because I have this uncanny ability to misinterpret directions and commands all the time

Admittedly, I would say that I am actually the type that is close to detesting team/group work. I may not show it on the outside, as I am quite able to coop with handling group works. More often than not I feel inclined to take the lead, because I want things to be done right under the appropriate time-frame. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I don't. Usually because I am too soft, easily a pushover. Afraid to offend people I know I still have to face even after the assignments are done. Oh yes I am as cowardly as cowards can possibly shrink into.

Hence, I do not particularly enjoy team working.

It's just a flawed mindset that I'm still trying to work on my part =/ Try as I might to escape it in college life, it's obvious that I can't run away from participating in group work in the future as I enter the work force.

Unless I take desperate measures and live as a hermit 8D

However I'm glad to note that for our latest TGJ4M project, the newsletter production worked out better than I thought it would have. Sure there were some kinks here and there, times where members failed to perform (that includes me as well, much as I am ashamed to admit) but I am well pleased that our group project turned out right. It was fun working with my two mates, talking our heads of about all sorts of possibilities we can achieve with the newsletter and making it a reality was fresh and fun, and therefore I probably won't mind collaborating with them again in future assignments.

Which is why I tried to be as just and fair when writing in my project log for this newsletter. Especially the giving peer assessment portion. Had to take some time to seriously ponder it through because there is the need to give credit where credit is due.... I hope in return my mates have taken the effort to think it wisely before assessing me. =)
