當你被生活逼的不得不堅強時，才會懂得軟弱原來是一件幸福的事。 -魔法公主

Groupwork is really burning me out. Uni sucks in that you just get dumped together with a group of people whom you have no personal relationship with. And repeat that n times for every single freaking module. -.- And even though in MNO the prof keeps saying that a good team is high-task AND high-relationship, how is it even possible to establish close friendships with so many strangers at once?! I'm so tired from trying to cope with work that there's barely any energy left to even attempt to build new relationships.

And of course it's so hard to adapt yourself to different working styles. Ironically, when there's an alpha member in the group it gets ever so annoying, but when there ISN'T such a member I get so tired from trying to push things along. I always thought of myself as a good team player who prefers working in groups as compared to working alone. But now I am continuously trying to remind myself to be more tolerant and to HANG IN THERE and not to be driven crazy.

It's not that they are not nice. I suppose I just can't deal with having to deal with so many unfamiliar relationships at once. And things are moving so fast that I don't have the time to get to know anyone well at all. Next thing I know the sem will be over and I'll have to do this entire thing all over again with a new set of people haha.

It's times like this that I miss my friends so much. I really think Advocation will be the best group that I will ever work in. Somehow everything was so easy with Advocation, and everyone understands and tolerates each other without any problem. I suppose that kind of rapport can only be developed after knowing each other for so many years...so for now i guess I shall just try to be less judgmental of the new people I meet and hopefully it'd be less painful. ><
