The thing with distance learning is that your class will consist of a mish mash of working professionals and kids who have just finished A-levels or Poly. Seeing as how I am quite the hermit, I made friends with only 1 other girl last semester, which was great, because she was 27, kept to herself quite a bit and was equally serious about class. Well she has since left the course as she got a big fat grant from the government's science fund initiative to fly to Germany (?) to learn all about Clinical Research.
I thought that I could go about my own thing again this semester. However, this semester sees one assignment which requires group work. Drats. Grudgingly I turned to the girl next to me and casually asked if she would like to pair up. Good. I now have a group. Thing is, she's 20, fresh out of poly and very typically Singaporean, and it's really starting to grate on me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for learning from others and bouncing ideas off each other, doesn't really matter how young you are, as long as you don't talk out of your arse and engage in childish behavior. But you know the type that talks alot of shit and has nothing to show for it? Ya, that's the sort I'm dealing with. I'm very prepared to shoulder the entire project so that my grade won't be compromised. Oh what the hell.
I too am talking out of my arse at this point aren't I?
Grunt.
I think I'm just grumpy.
