I am not inclined towards the maths and sciences.  When I started community college again, I realized that I would have to take college level math and science somewhere, and I might as well do it at the cheap and easy place.  Little did I know how cheap or how easy it would be...

I've invented a marvelous study plan for this semester.  It consists of three basic points:

1. Abstain from marijuana before classes and studying.

2. Attend every class and take notes.

3. Do all the homework, and study a bit each day.

So when Bio Lab rolls around on Mondays, I'm ready to do the damn thing, do it carefully, and then get the heck out.  (Like I said, science is not my strong suit.)  But I'm forced to work with others who are all to eager to stick their fingers in my brain, steal what I have worked to put in there, and reap all the benefits with none of the work.  I wouldn't feel so proprietary towards this information if it came to me easily, but I have to work for it, and I don't want to play cheerleader cum teacher for 1.5 hours a week.

After half an hour of supplying explanations followed by answers, I realized two things:

1. I sounded like a know it all douche.  

2. My group mates were zoning out during the explanations, and perking back up at the answers.

 I didn't really care for either of those, so I shut up.

Group Mate: What's K?

Bike: (Grunts.)

Group Mate: Don't you have it in your notes?

Bike: Presumably, you have it too.

Group Mate: It's over there, and I don't want to get it.

Bike: (Silence.)

I did behave like a douche and a know it all, but only because I didn't want people to leech from my studying (some call that cheating);  and students are supposed to know all the answers in class.   That's why we have to take tests.  What you are doing, Bio Lab group, is missing the point.  But I'm not enough of a douche to actually say to your faces, so I'll blog it.
