Year 2 begins
My second year of university began this morning. As I entered my first class of the new year, I expected to see some of my new classmates. But to my surprise, no familiar faces were in sight. I was shocked. I knew some of them would be mixed with the other groups, but not like this! I sat alone as my peers chatted way with each other. Unlike me, they had the good fortune of entering second year together. Lucky them.
Most of them seemed like idlers, and I have no time for that this year. In first year perhaps, but not this year. I really hope I’m wrong, ’cause if I’m forced to be in a group, I want people that can perform. Today’s classes were pretty pointless. The first and last classes weren’t held as the teachers didn’t show up, and the ones in between were simply for introduction’s sake. They’ll probably be like this for the rest of the week, the proverbial calm before the storm.
Never really liked group work but at times they are a necessary evil
Nose to the grindstone this year mate.
Got that right Barnze.
De upside of having idlers in your group is that U could get more management experience–I’ve often found that they avoid responsibility, & that means U could B the leader in all your group-projects.
That’s true. But they also bring down your average in group projects.
You’re probably right about th “calm before the storm”. Enjoy this week and
good luck at school this year, Leon. Which university is it anyway?
