What I Did This Week

Throughout the week, Madi and I worked on parts five and six alone. This was extremely frustrating considering we had to keep recalculating everyone once one number was changed even by one digit. We were unable to finish these parts because we needed Sophia to contact a hair salon and ask certain questions. However, she wasn't in class, again, and we were unable to get her information because she never puts it online. She only messages on Facebook to say that her conversation went well. This was extremely frustrating to the group as a whole because we have had many extensions already on our storefront project and we still don't have all the information. Once Sophia is able to come to class and give us the information Madi and I need, we will be able to finish calculating for part five and finish the write up. Our write up is only about a quarter done for part 6. This is because there was no point in typing up everything if we would have to redo the whole thing again once we get the information Sophia is supposed to bring us. 
What is very frustrating to the group and to me is that we give her an assignment, say to call someone. She goes and does that in the beginning of class and never returns to tell us what happened. We physically have to run into her to ask what happened. This has occurred at least twice already and it's unfair to the rest of the group. We are also unable to discuss this issue with her because she is rarely in class as well.
For part five, Madi and I had to continuously look back at part four, which together we finished the write up for last week. We had to keep rechecking our work and making sure that we had all the correct numbers before figuring how much we would actually be making at the end of each month. I like this project a lot and I know my other group members are doing useful work, but it just feels as though Madi and I really did the majority of the parts, especially all of the write ups. 
I'm really hoping Sophia shows up to class on Monday so we can at least get her information so we can finish up part five and do the write up for part six. I really want this part of the project to be completed before we go on break, but we all need to work together to get there. 
As for the $200 project, the flyers are going to be printed today by my dad and we will hang them up next week around the school, so we can sell them when everyone gets back from break.

  1. Sounds like an incredibly frustrating week. How about if we sit down with your group on Monday and talk about the need for Sophia to be in class all the time if she's going to remain a member of the group. Otherwise, perhaps Polina or Rachel should take over her jobs.

    I'm learning about the spreadsheet work along with you, so if there are problems that are making this a pain to do, we need to know about this so we can make it easier going forward. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll ask you more about this in class on Monday.
