Well, hello there! As you might expect at this point, my group members and I have remained the same. I am partnering with Julissa Espinal, Yaneli Zelaya, and Nicole Kimmick. With these last few projects, I can confidently say that we've grown more comfortable around one another and have a strong sense of each other's respective strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, navigating through any shortcomings we may encounter this time around won't be as difficult as they might've been had we chosen to go our separate ways. Just like with our previous tasks, we will equally split up our work and place ourselves in positions that we each particularly excel in so that we are able to produce the highest quality of work that we can. In short, we have already established a system that works for us, so why change it? As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Having said that, however, this time we are being faced with an unfamiliar challenge, one that originally seemed to be quite difficult for us to solve. That challenge being that one of our groupmates will no longer be in the same class period as us. This, as are many things in the real-world industry, was completely out of our control, which means that we need to be able to quickly adapt to this change so that it doesn't throw a wrench into any of our plans. Naturally, the most logical course of action, which we have agreed to follow, will be to conduct meetings during lunch, after school during on-campus tutoring days, and to have regularly scheduled FaceTime calls throughout the week to ensure that everything runs as smoothly, as it has with our past two projects. I have complete faith that we will work out any issues that we run into together as a team, and be able to overcome them, no matter what they may be. Showing my teammates that I can be there for them and knowing that they can be there for me when I need them is a valuable asset to have as it brings everyone closer together and makes sure that our confidence in one another never falters.
Outside of this class, we all have our own lives and plans, so it's nice that we are all able to come together and work towards achieving a common goal that we each care so deeply about. As is to be expected, since this is the fourth quarter, we're going to need to double down on this project and tie up any loose ends as we move along being that we cannot afford to fall behind with testing season being right around the corner. This project has been something my fellow group members and I have been looking forward to since the start of the school year. Now, granted, it will require a lot more work and preparation than other projects we've done in this class throughout the rest of the year, so I believe that we all collectively feel equal parts nervous and excited, "nervouscite ¹" if you will. I'm sure any worries that I have will be quelled as soon as we actually begin researching for this project and acquire more information going forwards. With that being said, I'd like to warn you, and prepare myself, by stating that you should expect a ton of blogs to be coming your way because I want to make sure you don't miss anything when it comes to what I deem will be my favorite project of the year!
I know that I said I'd part with the song lyrics, but, like my groupmates, I don't think I can bear to leave them behind. Of course, as I've said before, I want my groupmates to remember that they can always "Count on me like one, two, three" because "I'll be there" (Bruno Mars 2010).
