This heading has two meanings today.
The first is that I am totally exhausted, and the bad thing is, is that I have nothing against the other guys in my group. Dave, Joe & Kieran have worked through the night to get the website up & running and get the videos either encoded for the website in a small enough format, or in the right format for the DVD for submission. I was sent in for moral support, but after six hours of staring at a computer screen, knowing that you can't do anything to help is something of a dampener on spirits after a while.
The second meaning, is a somewhat bitter attack on the Interactive Media Students that are in my group. Although I get on with the guys really well, I feel they left the website to too late. It meant that they had to work throughout the night to finish putting it together, when in all fairness it could have been done a few days ago. I understand that we had to wait for the videos, but that's a small part of everything that had to be done. I was at a complete loss because I couldn't help in any way. The thing is, they knew they hadn't worked hard enough in advance, which didn't make me angry, just disappointed. Not only because they were willing to jeopardise their own marks, but the rest of the groups'.
I'm also a little peeved with some of the other members of the group who haven't paid any interest in what's going on work-wise with the project. I'm fed up with caring when not everyone does. Three people in the group haven't been in contact in over a week. One I bumped into today by mistake & she seemed only mildly intrested in what was going on. And I'm not even the one who's been doing the most work. I feel the most utter respect & everything to Dave who has worked tirelessly on this project. He's been editing the films, directed them, & acted in them too, as well as being production manager at the start of the project. Out of everyone I know on this course, he deserves a first.

Side-stepping that slightly, I've already done both the PDP assignment & the production analysis, which leaves me with just the peer assessments to do. These will be hard, becuase I've seen different levels of work at different times of the project.
I never thought I'd say this, but I want this year to be over.
