Team Work!

Ever since I was young, I hated group work mainly because I was always the one who ended up doing most of the work.  Either my group mates were unable to do their part or I was unsatisfied with their work so I ended up doing the entire thing, most of the time it was the latter statement.

However! Team Vai Chuong (don't even know if i'm spelling my team name right) has been hands down FREAKING AMAZING.  I'm so glad to be grouped with such supportive and thoughtful teammates.  I feel that with our group, we make sure that we're first having fun before we get our work done, therefore we're a lot more relaxed when we go about with serious matters.  While some interviews we conduct alone, we all try to present in as many of them as we can.  When we do translations, we are together making sure that the translation is correct.  There has never been a problem regarding whether or not someone has done more work then the other.  This is the first group that I've been in where we have all done the same amount of AWESOME work (or so I think :P). 

If all groups were like this, I would be a much happier person.  I've learned that when everyone recognizes their responsibilities working together is much easier.  Also through this group, I'm starting to slowly learn that we're all human.  Whenever someone falls behind, a supportive teammate will help pick up the slack.  I've learned to be a lot less rigid about things and to trust the work of others.

Where did the time go?

Memories of Orientation Week are still fresh in my mind like it was yesterday.  Laying in my room in D8 I remember thinking, "Damn I have four months here." Little did I know how much I would love Vietnam so much.  I can't even imagine going back to America and not seeing hundreds of motorbikes or a bia hoi on every corner.  I can just see myself back in the states in my apartment crying like I'm going through some horrible break up. You are the ultimate bad boyfriend, you leave me crying while you continue your hustle and bustle HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME VIETNAMMMMM

There's still so much more of Hanoi to discover but so little time!!


But seriously, I gotta live it up until then.  Every nook and cranny of Hanoi I will find you! :)
