Bye George =(

When we first heard about the assignment we were all very excited and ready to to pour out our ideas. 25 minutes? Plenty of time to plan.....
One idea came after another. Time was rolling and we could not decide on an idea. Until the very last 3 minutes we quickly decided on one of the ideas ( To make a little basket).

When it came down to the building stage we quickly told one of our teammates to grab the scissors. Seeing that we would have a very little chance of getting them we decided to think of another way to cut the straws. We thought of a brilliant idea keys! We were so happy it worked. Now it was time to build that's when the problems started. Our original plan did not work. The whole entire team was all over the egg. We noticed it wasn't getting any where so abandoned our idea and did something totally different. At the end we barely made it. Unfortunately, our little George did not make it.
Evaluation
Step 1: I would say we clearly knew our goals. We were aware of the time constraints and assignment.
Step 2: We skip this step. We all just brainstormed ideas and attempted to build the egg contraption. The jobs were not defined. No team leader was assigned.
Step 3: We did not plan any alternatives during the planning stage. Although we did have come up with alternatives during the building stage.
Step 4: We somewhat allocated jobs. For instance, who would drop the egg and who would draw the design.
Overall, I think our team worked great as a group. We did not have problems with brainstorming or communicating as a team. The group would have been more effective if we distributed our roles more clearly.

Tick Tock Tick

Everyone has 24 hours in a day, but for some reason my 24 hours seem shorter..... How is it that some of us are able to balance work and school so well? What is their secret? (Caffeine Pills?) Whatever it is it's working for them.
This semester seems a lot tougher for me especially since I am finally starting my major. With a full time schedule and work I am still trying really hard to balance everything. Hopefully I can stop stressing out about being stressed out and get some work done.
