My IS group spent about 280 hours on this project. We averaged 14 hours a day, and turned in a 105 page report at the end. It was a ton of work, but thankfully I enjoyed doing it. In addition to realizing that I did make a good decision of what to study, I learned that I am capable of doing really hard things.
All semester I had been hearing about INTEX and dreading it. Once the project actually started, however, I was too busy to think about how hard it was and how much time I'd have to spend on it. I didn't really complain about it, and found that I was able to have a good attitude, and the project seemed easier than I'd anticipated it being.
Moving forward, I am going to try to stop being a pessimist. I will remember that I can do hard things, and that they are easier if I do them with a good attitude.
Wow that is a lot of work for a class project! Good job. It's always such a great feeling of satisfaction when you look at the final product!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine doing all that work for one project! But congrats on pushing through it all and finishing! I'm sure it will be a huge benefit to you later in life. And of course you can do hard things! Never forget that!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Shawn! I am glad there are people, like, who enjoy doing that type of work, because I am not equipped for it! I see to be constantly re-learning the importance of a good attitude. Attitude is the key to success in every aspect of life.
