Why I Hate Group Projects

This is an excerpt from my group discussion in a public relations case studies course. This is also a prime example of why I hate working in groups. These are the kinds of people I have to depend on for my grade, and co-write papers with.

"this is a very sensitive subject, specially when two of the main stake holders are the US government's relations with Mexico and one of the biggest lobbying groups in the the country, the NRA,

The mexican government and many people in the south west would like to see stricter gun laws and more easy in tracking where the gun came from and punish those responisble for allowing the gun to fall into the hands of the people commiting such crimes. However, the NRA and made it so that there is no list that contains information about the people who own guns and the lobbyist associated with the NRA will make it so that there never is.

its hard to see what the outcome can be for this until we start seeing more gun crimes in america to help promote the idea of stricter gun control laws. It will be interesting to see if the recent shooting of the congresswomen will also play into any effect."

New Year, New List

I usually make a resolution every year, as most people do. But I don't know that I have ever stuck to one, as most people don't either. I'm notorious for making lists for just about everything and I find it more fitting to make a list of goals. Places I want to go, things I want to accomplish.

- Find my first full-time job
- Save up money for new camera lenses
- Eat healthier and take advantage of my free gym membership
- Read a minimum of 10 books that are leisure reading only
- Knock a few more ballparks off the list
- Move out!
- Get a new car
- Travel to a few hockey arenas
- Get back to NY
