RMIT Diary

I am writing this entry in a very bad mood. Half of the semester has passed so quickly. This semester, again, I am in the role of leader. However, there is a significant difference. Previous semesters, I just follow others’ idea to develop a project in a way that very lack of initiative. This semester, I was assigned a task that I really like and want to try, PR leader, even though when Vu give me this position, I have no idea of what to do about it.

That I like my PR job did not mean it was easy to make it. It was a period that I felt extremely stress about fulfilling my responsibility. But this time, again, I was luckier than previous semester. I have very active and creative members. My team is totally different to any team I have had before. I do not have to tell them in detailed what they have to do. Nevertheless, sometimes I feel they are even better than me. All I have to do is management, the right people do the right work that they have ability to finish or improve.

It is interesting that I have some leadership experience to compare with what I learn in leadership course. According to this subject, the leadership style depends on members’ characteristics. Before, my team members used not to have any idea about the project so I have to brainstorm everything on my own and then assign task to members. They just had to follow what I have planned for them. It was a very intense job. This time, my members have creative ideas and I just have to advise them. I totally delegate things to members and have time for studyJ.

Yeah, there is half semester left for fighting. My friends say that I am crazy to study four courses and being a leader. They don’t know that I am too lazy that I have to find a way to push myself. Even if I have more time to study, I still leave everything until the last minutes to do it. The rest of time is for daydreaming ). Therefore, just not to waste my life time, I have to push myself even though it is really stressful sometimes.

Tomorrow the sun will rise again. I will overcome all difficulties one day.
