And This is Why I Hate Group Projects

Yesterday I told my group that I was having a family emergency and that I needed to defer to their decision about selection of three potential project proposals to submit to our professor today.  All they had to do was pick from a fucking list provided by the professor.

Apparently, neither of them responded to my e-mail yesterday, nor communicated directly with each other.  So, now we’re still deciding what projects to propose and I have to weigh in or we won’t get this done.

Just FUCKING PICK SOMETHING FROM THE LIST.  Why is this so hard?
