I'm a girl! Hence the crying probably hahaha. I am always pretty good at standing up for other people close to me and when confronted directly, but with this shady-behind-the-back bullshit I never know what to do- do I confront it or does that make me look like a lesser person? Its the added annoyance that if I come off poorly others may not want to work with me next semester. After next semester I have an internship and a dissertation so I just need to survive this group project politics until then. Then hopefully with their terrible commands of English (and me not proofreading) they'll flounder on their dissertation.
