Debrief
Fall term could have been more productive, but I believe everyone on the team went through a valuable learning experience together. Though most of the team worked together before, I felt like the odd ball out who rare to never worked with the majority of the team on a collaborative and long project. I trusted in Anna to put together an elite team and was happy she chose to invite me into that team. Though we've had our bumps along the way from redesigns to illnesses and hospital things to miscommunication and we've had to begrudgingly scope down as we haven't met our goal for where we would be at this time now, I still believe that Anna assembled a great group of individuals for our senior project.
It would have been great if we had stuck with a more simple idea that could have a more polished project in the end, but I will stand by my team with their ambitious dreams as a senior project is meant to be. Though it would have been better if we listened to scope down much earlier, but at least we're learning.
I think I started out well and did my best to ramp up my production and communication as the term went on, but I could not keep up anymore at the end of the term. I would remind myself redesigning is always a possibility if we want to remain flexible to obstacles that pop up and when we fall behind and need to rethink our abilities to reach our goals. It's begun to be deeply frustrating though when miscommunication occurs and designs require a lot of reworking and tweaking where I feel like I'm floundering at sea because I feel like maybe I'm missing something or my designs aren't adequate. It's been a rough two weeks since my last post and I've basically accomplished nothing. To my team, I apologize for this. Personal issues that I would rather not post about have affected my work and I am going to do my best to correct them. I am seeking help by talking to Anna about this issue. I promise I will be working hard to stay positive and to help make our project awesome though!
