Laziness, zero creativity and Rent

posted under by dutchie | Edit This
Time for another blog again :). The last two weeks I was pretty much busy finishing a paper that was due last week. That was some work alright...especially when u have to work with a group with only guys in it! And they weren't exactly "productive" I might say...you could pretty much call them lazy and uber slow! For real...if they would work any slower, they would go backwards I'm telling ya! And I'm the project leader...so I have to check if everyone's doing their job and stuff like that. Totally exhausting if you ask me, espcially if you have to work with a bunch of guys who sit around all day and do nothing unless you s-p-e-l-l it out for them :S!
God I really hope I don't end up working with non-productive people like them later in life. But I think that's just wishful thinking! Cause there's always gonna be people who don't work at the same speed and put the same effort into the work as for example, people like me :).
Yeah it's true, I have high standards and I'm also a perfectionist. So the work they did, was pretty much below (my) expectations and I had to edit the whole damn paper again by myself. For fuck sake...these guys are like 21 or something, but they act like 10-year olds. And they have a slight ADD problem. So concentration is another major issue in this "fine" little group :S. Luckily we finished the paper in time before the deadline...so it all ended well :).

Lately I've been playing around with the program Photoshop. It's a great program if you know how to use it. If you don't...it's pretty hard to figure out how certain things work in Photoshop. I recommend following some tutorials on the internet if you don't know how to use the program. It's actually funny that I'm working with Photoshop and creating stuff etc....cause normally I'm not that creative. I have like zero creativity. Yep...not a creative bone in my body! I actually had to take this test once for this class I took last year and the test actually said that I had like zero creativity haha! But I expected that result, so it didn't came as a surprise to me :).
The reason why I'm working with Photoshop is because of a project I have to do for school. We have to create a website like for example MySpace. So some of the layout had to be made in Photoshop. It's actually pretty fun to work with, once you know how everything works. This time I only have to work with one guy and he's pretty good in designing websites. So this project is definitely going to turn out alright.
And our layout is totally awesome I might say :). We both were suddenly feeling totally creative when it came to designing the whole site. It's awesome and tomorrow I have to work on it again. So I'm looking forward to that :).

Ok that's it for now. I'm off to watch the movie "Rent". Any of you seen this movie? Is it good? I know it's been out for a while now, but I haven't seen this movie and I've heard and read mixed reviews about it. But I'm still going to check it out :). Since I'm going to watch Rent...below is one of the songs that's in the movie/musical...it's called "Seasons of Love" and I really like this song. The movie also starts with this song...so I hope you like it :)!
