A similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago, but a slightly different scenario. The person who agreed to edit a video project was supposed to do it over the weekend, but didn't because he had gigs. Which is fine, I understand it's a job, but he could've at least told us beforehand rather than let us know Monday night that he couldn't do it when it was already supposed to be done by then. The project was due Wednesday morning, I ended up just saying **** it and skipped all my classes that Tuesday to finish the damn thing all because some of my group members were incompetent. Then he had the audacity to give me a 17/20 in the peer review when I clearly did the most work and never missed group meetings, like I get it's only one mark down but that's the only thing that stopped me from acing that class so I'm a little salty.
Don't you just ****ing love group projects.

@Soul but I want them in the next Smash Bros! 
I know what you mean man I'm in this podcast group and we're going to be talking about relevant events going on in the community. Unfortunately however two of the group members are taking so long getting their segment ready that the relevant events are not so... oh erm... wait oh... er...

Oh yes, especially when there's that one guy who barely does anything, and the group is graded as a whole.
I remember in 12th grade we had to read a book, and then the groups would make a movie poster for the book they read, write a summary, and draw a storyboard, as well as choose actors who we would want in our movie. We had one guy who was suppose to write the summary, but he hardly ever read the book. If I remember correctly that was ~25% of the grade we were loosing. I could tell he didn't really care, so the rest of the group came up with the summary, and we did pretty good in the end fortunately, but that guy

Only two full weeks until finals week
Two weeks left in the semester and if I do this right I can be done with all my work this week, with nothing but presentations next week. That would be blissful.
Finally on the mid-semester break. Although, I am still having to go in to work on group assignments but at least I've taken this week of work too so I am not dying for a bit.
I received an email today from University letting me know that they've shortlisted me for a short term experience that I applied for in China (Beijing and Hong Kong) this July, so that's exciting. They apparently shortlisted 4 students from my University and we will have interviews with the hosting telecommunications company soon, who will then select the final 2 students. The flights, meals, hotel, visa, and transfers are all paid for by the company along with a return flight to Melbourne beforehand to meet the students from other Universities that will be joining too. After leaving the country for the first time already this year for Japan, this will just make things even better for me if I can just pull off the interview well. 1/2 is fairly good odds I reckon.

Arrived safely at my mom's house. I certainly wasn't hoping to go out of town again immediately after getting home from a long semester, but it's for good reason. I'm gonna visit my grandma in her hospice bed tomorrow since I very likely won't get another chance to see her. It's upsetting but there's nothing else they can do for her at this point. I'm really looking forward to seeing her one last time, as hard as it is to accept that it truly is the last time.
I'm also gonna visit my newborn twin niece and nephew for the first time before I go back home, so I'll be ending my trip on a happy note. And I get to see my oldest sister on her birthday for the first time in ages and I can also have a good time with her daughter who recently turned 18 months, so that should be fun!

It's sad, yes, and nothing can be done to change that. But I really like your approach - making the best out of a ****ty situation, and salute you for that.
