narcissistic pleasure

I may have a problem with over-zealous groupmates this semester.

I think it's interesting how by year3 everyone knows just who are the good ones and who are the ones to avoid. Probably cos within one acctcy grp itself the cohort is so small, so more or less everyone has a very-most-3-degrees-of-separation kinda relationship. Sooner or later word gets around about this person being damn irresponsible, or that person being extremely resourceful, or this person being a freerider, or that person being the one who 'always gets A for project'. It's damn funny how at the very first seminar some of us are like silently checking each other out, mentally ticking those whom you hope very hard would be in your group and those whom you hope even harder would NOT be in your group.

Reputation and record counts alot man. I think I can safely say I belong in the third group of 'can-do's, so actually to me as long as I don't have a freerider on board, I'm fine with anything. But ohwell of course to each his own, in the same way that everyone has got different expectations.

On the other hand, the tutor's reputation seems even more crucial especially since the final year modules are covered by only 2 tutors each. To have a DAMN KP but damn good tutor, or a damn relaxing but also damn poor one? Note the bold and caps. So now I dunno if I should switch classes or not. Aiya wadeva la, if wanyu switches then I also switch to join her.

Pardon the 'damn's, I've got seemingly limited vocab these few days.
