First Week

This week was a weird one. First, we had no professor either day! Mass confusion ensued. The first day a lot of people left, but some (like me) stayed. I think we were just too afraid to go early. The second day we were given a task to complete, but no instruction on how to do it. It was super vague too. Several people tried to get the class to do what they thought was right, but only one guy got everyone to quiet down and listen. It was so frustrating! I think that in order to be a good leader, you also have to know when to step down. These people didn't. They just kept going. You need to realize when you can't get the job down and when you're not effective. You have to be self-aware as a leader. Plus, don't go in front of everyone if you don't have a plan. Getting 200 people to come up with a plan together is ridiculous!!! That's why there is a board and/or boss that does that. I'm hoping it gets better, but right now I'm super stressed and worried about this class.
