Group projects

So most of you all have had that one time where you had to do a group project. If not, good for you; you did not have to suffer of trying  to work with people you probably don't talk to. So for my US history class I had to do a play about the Civil War. We all had to form our own group and decide to pick a category. We did ours on the union soldiers, I was in a group with 3 guys I did not know. well I did, I just didn't have any affiliation with them. We were each assigned a job. But boy o boy, this was one pain of a ride. No one and I mean no one did there part of the job. I had to do all the work. I did it all because I didn't want to fail that class. I stood up all night trying to write at least a script that is five minutes long for everyone and talk about what they did in the civil war. I had to invite background characters for more interest, and last but not least i had to brainstorm what I had to write and what I had to do. I just wish I don't have to do these group projects again, but if i do. I want my group to do their part of the job.
