Group work


Yesterday I had my first mid-term of the semester. It was for my abnormal psych class. I spent the day studying and at 4:30pm I left for class. It was raining the whole way to school but once I pulled into the parking lot it started to pour. It takes me like 5 mins to get from my car to the building my class is in and by the time I got there I was pretty soaked. But it could have been worse, it’s a good thing I had my rain boots and umbrella. Class started at 5:30 and we had till 7pm to finish our test, most people finished in about 40 mins so we had to wait till 7pm to go back to class to meet with our groups.
The group I am in consists of 5 girls and our topic is stress. I have the task of keeping in contact with everyone and updating everyone on times to meet up. My group members are pretty unique. I am the youngest at 19 and the second youngest is 21. One of the girls in my group is 38 but she seriously looks 28, and she has a son. Another group member who I believe is in her late 30s used to be severely depressed but she had Electric shock treatment or ECT and is now a lot better. She seems really happy all the time. My last group member is 26 and she has two kids. One is 6 the other is 2 or 3. This girl has gone through a lot. She hasn’t seen her family in 10+ yrs has lived on the streets and has used every drug under the sun almost. She really has turned her life around. She is taking care of her kids, has an apartment and is in school. One thing I like about my group is that everyone seems willing to put in the effort to do a good job. Our first out of class meeting is on Friday and 5:30pm. We are only meeting for like 30 mins just to touch base.
Today I have my speech class and I haven’t done my homework so that’s up next.
