My Blog Titles Are Going to Be Song Lyrics From Now On

Working with a partner can be either really awesome or suck a ton. There is no gray partnership.

I tend to like to work alone because I like to do things my way, but I'm not assertive enough to get this to happen with a partner or a group. However, I think I end up working better in a partnership or group because other people keep me on top of the work and help to keep me from procrastinating (you may have noticed that I am a notorious procrastinator).

There are pros and cons to working alone and with partners. When working alone, you are much more flexible as to how you want to complete the work and when you want to do it. However, you can begin to feel overwhelmed by too large of a project, or you can fall behind schedule because we are faulty by nature. The pros of working with a partner counter the cons of working alone, but the cons of partnership counter the pros of working alone as well.

(By the way, this song I'm listening to is extremely epic and doesn't fit the topic at all... sort of. "Vices" by Silverstein. It's about a guy finding out his wife is cheating on him. Very awesome.)

That's all I really have to say about partners, I guess. But I still need 98 words, so...

Have you ever read Shel Silverstein's poems? I mean, actually READ them. Looked into the meaning. Most of them seem very silly at face value, but when you read between the lines, they contain very deep thoughts and stories, both positive and negative. I was reading some of them yesterday (yes, when I was supposed to be writing my reflection on Patrick Henry, the coolest orator ever), and they made me really sad and want to write. Definitely read some of his stuff sometime and think about it a lot. He is now one of my favorite authors/poets.
