kind of disappointed... met with someone today. someone who is taking a few months off work to prepare for next year... thought the person might turn out to be similarly motivated to me... that we might be able to figure a way of productively working together...
turns out that he's not, really. was more interested in being impressive with having done this and that... is fairly prepared to take nursing or something allied health as a back up (but is perhaps a little delusional about chances of that?) reminded me... a lot of me last year. when i was like 'it's first year ffs, i mean, how hard can it be???' only... he's B's and C's from an unknown uni whereas at least I was coming in with A+'s...
I suppose I should be happy... One less competition. Think of it that way. I feel sad, though. Because I thought I may have found a friend. A collaborative study partner, at least. I suppose it is possible I'm being a bit harsh... But three tables from lecture one... I impressed that upon him... That was the content... Three tables from lecture one... And he was too busy wanting to talk about how he knows it already... Curriculum from later years... Etc etc etc... To actually learn the content.
I think... I think people actually might do most of their study alone for year one... People seem... A little... Shocked? At actually needing to transition to group study second year when they don't know how to figure out what they are supposed to learn exactly, anymore.
Anyway... I'm okay... Just keep on... Trucking on...
