The biggest waste of time in my life have and will always be study groups. I can't stand them. And for the lack of better will, I have been compelled to do it.
My microbiology midterm has been postponed for the first weeks of November. And I have some time to make up for lost ground. I have scouted the help of a classmate there to give me a hand. He's good, I must confess; so making time to just study will be fine and essential for our acing the midterms. It sounds like the exam will be intense. 50 multiple choice questions and it was proven from the practice/simulation exam that they will be a doozy. And tricky.
I hate tricky.
Well, I got the results for my organic chemistry exam and suffice to say, I didn't fail. I was above the average mark for the class but it is still not enough. So, against my will, I've had to recruit the help of a classmate who did excellent on the exam to help me. While he was thrilled with the prospect of helping me, I still have to say that I hate group study with a passion. I find it a waste of my time and of my partner's. Nothing gets done, except a lot of talking ala "knowing me, knowing you way." HOWEVER, I am willing to overlook this little detail and try my best to study with this guy.
Hopefully, he won't get too blown away by my apparent lack of orgo chem knowledge.
I am just a bit worried about his willingness to get out of his way to help me. I hope it isn't what I think it is because he offered to help me based on MY schedule instead of his own and he seemed eager enough for me and him to get started immediately. While I approached him with the question, I am still rather perplexed of his good nature. Perhaps because I am so cynical that I can't see the great picture. By Monday afternoon I should know better what's his angle. I, on the other hand, will avoid any type of cynicism and just say he is being nice and only wants to help me.
Yet he is kind of cute, so...
