Worst group moment(s)
Moment 1:
When I met my partners—or should I say partner? The third member of our group was a dud who never came to class—for my Shakespeare Lit class, I knew right off it wasn’t going to be pretty. First off, the only member that ever came to class was… well, I can’t prove it, but I’m pretty sure she was high. So I never knew what point she was trying to make.
When we had to choose a scene from a play we’re read in class to recreate, I convinced her to play Bianca to my Katherina; I don’t remember which Act and scene it was, but I remember it was one where my character spoke the most and hers got only a handful of lines. I’m not generally a drama queen who needs the spotlight, but in this case, I was fairly sure this was the way to go. We got a B. Which isn’t bad, but I mean… had she put forth any effort, an A would have been pretty easy to get, considering we weren’t exactly WRITING the play.
Moment 2:
My neighbor of 10 years who I kinda hate was put in my group in chemistry. Those groups last all semester. He’s pretty obnoxious, so it was tough to stomach four months of foul chemicals AND him. Not to mention, he spent most of the semester doing the “Remember when” stuff. None of it fun memories. Lesson learned: Community college’s drawback is community you can’t get rid of.
