This little piggy went to market...

i do lots of group work. lots and lots and lots of it. my gmail has about 6 or 7 different groups just for my business classes for the past 2 semesters. i've spent more nights in tyler trying to make a collective and cohesive paper and/or presentation with 3 or 4 other people than most w&m students do buying their outfits at the bookstore.

my point is that i've learned some tricks along the way. the best number for a group to get things done efficiently is 3. any more and there tends to be a lot of social loafers or just so many people that it's really, really difficult to coordinate and meet. and for some inexplicable reason my group for this class consists of 10 people. it's crazy! i'm sure it will benefit us in the end to have so many people (our performance will undoubtedly kick ass) but the scheduling thing is kind of troublesome. I don't think there is any one specific time outside of class that every single person can meet. on top of that, it seems like at least 2-3 people from our group are missing each class (and it's never the same people missing, which would make it somewhat easier to progress, but rather a rotation of missing people, so we seem to always be on different pages). anyway, i hope it works out, but it's just a little difficult when people go a missing.

and this little piggy

went wee wee wee

all the way home.
