Should I pursue this further?

I'm extremely annoyed at my group for a project. I kept on trying to be productive, but when I needed to use the computer whenever we met up, they would just be hogging it playing computer games. Finally, they realized the day before the project was due that they were screwed and I ended up doing like 80-90 percent of the work (5 people in the group). I worked on the stuff from 9 to 5 in the morning, and my group was just like, "Whatever." Should I just let this go and accept that they took advantage of me, or should I be angry that they dumped everything on me and basically showed no gratitude for salvaging the project. It makes my blood boil to think that they'll be getting the same grade as me for doing way less work.

    That is really really frustrating, I can definitely see where you're coming from. That's what I hate about group work too because there's always some who aren't willing to work hard, so you have to put in the extra work on behalf of them! Tell the teacher for sure, and see what she thinks about it. Because it is going to be so unfair when they get the same marks as you, when you have clearly done more work. Good luck, and great work for being motivated - in the long run, they are the ones that are going to suffer, not you :). Even though it's hard now, just remember this!

    You should go to your teacher and explain to him/ her what the deal is.

    I would also tell the aholes that took advantage of you, that you plan to tell, and that it wasn't fair that they mooched off your work.
