"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." - Henry Ford.
So, our group is progressing. We haven't had many deadlines yet so there hasn't been a ton of work to get done. But we're now presented with a few days of no class in trade that we will meet with our groups and get some work done on the project. I think this is going to be a good thing because it will not only force us to meet together and do work, but it will also allow me to work on the project without feeling like I'm wasting time that I should be putting into studying for my tests this week and next. Clarification: It's not that this project is not important to me; It's that the deadlines for this project come after my tests on the timeline.
My only problem with the project as of right now is that we haven't gotten to talk to our clients yet. It's entirely possible that we could completely design and mostly build our version of the Web site by the time the client does come to meet us. And then imagine the frustration when we find out that what we've planned and built doesn't at all match up with what they want. Man..... I hope that doesn't happen. I know that their schedules are busy and we don't want to backload the semester, but in an ideal circumstance I would rather not do a single minute of work without first finding out what the client wants, i.e., our objective.
So, we'll just truck along with it this week and get done all that we can. The good news is that I feel like success is inevitable...

I agree with ya, Gareth. I would take the ideal situation over what we have - with lots of client consultation all along the way. But if we roll with the punches and make it work anyway, I think you guys will be ready for these kinds of challenges when you have your first jobs. I agree with you - success is inevitable. =o)
