I've met the worst tutorial mates today.
We were grouped into groups of 4 and I had 3 meow meows in mine. We had to finish as much as we can during tutorial time and do the rest on our own free time, but the assignment is due next week.
So, we had to calculate the amount of precipitation in the catchment.
And it took my group an entire hour to solve that question. It's not even difficult. All we needed to do was identify which are the inputs and which are the outputs. I said interception should be under outputs because it isn't part of the catchment. None of them trusted me. They kept going on and on about how interception is on the trees and trees are part of the catchment. The notes said interception is part of the water storage. And because they couldn't make up their mind, they asked the TA and he said interception should not be calculated into the water budget. They had to show him the notes and try to make him agree that interception is under inputs. If you can't accept what people tell you, why bother asking? Pttf.
They finally accept the fact that interception is under outputs because they asked the lecturer and she said interception is a temporary storage. It wouldn't stay in the catchment for long. Wasted an entire hour of my life. I know I'm not really good with my studies and I don't make sense sometimes. But why can't they just accept what the TA tells them?
They had the entire tutorial worksheet translated in Chinese.
They underlined all the key terms like hydrograph, rising limb, soil properties etc and wrote all the chinese terms for it above the words. And they conversed in mandarin throughout. They spoke English only when they need to tell me their point of view. Sheesh. I don't even know what they were talking about! How would I know what's hydrograph in chinese.
And because they can't trust me to do a good job, they took the answers back to type it out.
You know what's best? I asked for their contacts and it's all on that piece of foolscap paper. I have no way of contacting them now. I wouldn't know if they'd forget about the assignment.
But judging by how they were so worried about putting the wrong answer down, they'd probably by more anxious about their grades than I am.
What if they write my name wrongly? Or my matric number?
WHY AM I SO DUMB. Gah!
