Okay so I got a group project, but my group never does anything.

It's always me who ends up doing all the work.

If I don't, they won't either. And IF they do, then they'll do a shit job.

I've done most of it   , but I left a few things.

Should I just tell them to do those things?

I'm afraid they might forget and blow it all, because I would have to give them the pen drive with the stuff, since i don't have a printer, and at least one of them does.

Tell them what?

Email it to them so they can't get out of helping, and make them print it?

I always hated group projects.

Nobody ever does their share, but if you refuse to pick up the slack, then you get a bad grade too, even if you DID your share.

It's up to you, you can either pick up their end (as unfair as it is) or don't, and accept that you might not get the grade you want.

You might also talk to your teacher. Clearly this isn't fair. If you show the teacher what work YOU did, it's possible you might still be able to get full credit. Not all teacher will be accommodating, but for the most part (in my experience), when it's a group project like this, they'll understand that it's not fair to cut EVERYBODY'S grade because some of the people didn't do their work.

Anyway, that really does suck. Hope it works out!!

That's the problem.

The schools library is in work, they're building in an elevator, and that's where all the printing is done.

I'm like DAY-UM. I mean, where teh hell are we supposed to print our stuff?

I told you Portugal sucks.

Yeah well everyone did that at first, but the teacher doesn't really buy it any more.

Because then we have to go to the office computers early in the morning, and print it there blah blah... <Teachers defense.

Meh I'm just going to try and make the guy print it.
