'Tis the season

...of group projects.

In the past two weeks I have have two group projects due, and a third one is due after Thanksgiving, so at one point I was juggling three group projects at once. I've definitely been feeling the pressure of the semester coming to a close, which means that we're all supposed to have learned enough in our classes to complete large and arduous assignments. I have never had so many group projects at once, and one of them involved five people and another involved six, which made it almost impossible to figure out a time everyone could meet. However, I'm pretty much done with those now, which is a huge relief. For the project due after Thanksgiving, we made a movie, which is about 20 minutes long and tells the story of the Book of Acts (from the Bible; it's for my Biblical Foundations of Literature class). I'm pretty excited about that; it's definitely the longest movie I've ever made. I helped one of my partners put it all together last Wednesday, and it's still in the final editing process. Hopefully, when it's all done we can upload it onto YouTube or something and I can post it on here.

Another group assignment I had was to design "the ideal school for teens." It was for my Lifespan of Human Development class and was supposed to be a partner assignment, but I ended up in a group of three. We decided to make a little booklet describing our school, and I thought the cover was the most entertaining, so here it is:

This is a picture of how it looks on my computer, because I didn't end up with the hard copy after it got graded. But, I can assure you the booklet was very legit and we got a high score.

While I am relieved to be pretty much done with group projects, there is still a lot to do before the semester ends...mainly writing a term paper for my Biblical class and studying for finals. It's nice to have Thanksgiving break coming up, but I plan to spend a lot of it studying. (Key words: plan to.)
