I probably didn’t say enough about it in the article, if you thought it seemed glossed over, but I thought a lot about why this happened at the time, and I was pretty upset (more than I should have been, really, over a school project) and that’s why I left the group...because unlike type#1 team members, I actually cared a lot about making a fair contribution and felt like shit when I hadn’t. I never consciously decided to procrastinate, either...I just had a lot of other things on my plate, which is pretty much inevitable during the school year, and all of a sudden, foom!, my part of the project is done because one of the girls was bored on the weekend and had nothing better to do. (Huh? When does this ever happen?)
So I guess I’m like a team #1 member in that I procrastinate when I can get away with it, but like a team#2 member in that I do want to turn in quality work and get an A+. And I want it to my my quality work, not someone else’s with my name on it.
Oops, I think you’ve got team #2 and team#1 backwards there… in the post above, team#1 members are procrastinators and team #2 members want to get quality work done.

Probably. Thanks.
