This week we began to really assemble our Shakespeare group project. We have been working towards this week for quite a few, including before break. I will admit that I didn't really focus on it during break, and I imagine most other students didn't either.
Anyways, I found that I am a terrible speller when under pressure. I must have retyped multiple sentences at least 30 times, no exaggeration. "Explaining" was "explining" before I even knew what was happenening. It's not the misspelling that gets me, either. IT'S THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE FOR 30 MINUTES. It's like when you're trying to look all suave and cool, swaggering a little bit, and then you trip. Roll your ankle, make a weird noise, the whole shebang. That's what my fingers do. That guy over there is me.
I also learned that I maaayyyy be a little more controlling in group projects than necessary. In my defense, I have been stuck with people who are either too lazy to accomplish anything without being told what to do, don't show up to class, or are a straight up idiot - for my entire life. I can't help that I am PROGRAMMED to take over.
It's actually refreshing to not have to boss people around as much. I feel bad for them a little just because I am bossy, but I feel like I've already been getting better about all that.
Week well spent, I feel.
