Oh crap, remind me to disown random partners during exams.
For learning theory, we had to be grouped into pairs to design lessons following the Kolb and MI models. Which is usually cool, since I've discovered that I really like designing lessons. However, we got randomly paired with another person from our class and I never do too well in these situtations...
Person who picked our names: Alen and Rachelle
Me: *headdesk*
Alen: You know Rachelle, I had a dream that I'd be writing the exam with you!
Me: *whimpers*
Okay, my reaction wasn't THAT bad, but his quote was real. Alen isn't a bad guy. He has some strange respect for me and heck, he's probably one of the handful of people who just accepts me for what I am. But he's not what someone would call an "ideal" partner for a project. He's just not... all... there all the time and tends to have trouble focusing or staying still for long periods of time. If this is the result of heavy drugs or not is anyone's guess.
I tried to make the pairing work. I know I've had worst partner in the world *coughJustincough*, so it can only get better. As a result of that project from heck, I can basically work with anyone now, but it was still kinda awkward. The pairing was like those Super Trooper skits from the early Frantic Times radio shows, except we weren't running around Nazi Germany with spoons. Maybe it would have helped if we did.
I ended up doing a large chunk of the project myself, the writing and such. Trying to keep Alen slightly focused is a pain. He did say he understand the learning theory models a lot more after we finished because he worked with me... which is good, but wouldn't it have been better to understand the models BEFORE doing the exam?
I will admit I had the strangest way to remember Myers Briggs EVER. Last night I ran the test for myself and several of my favorite characters (personal and otherwise), got the results and noted what personality quirks caused them to get the results. For example, Wiarton is ENTJ, a Rational Fieldmarshal according to the Keirsey model 'cause he's fairly outgoing, is insightful but logical (as logical as he can be, given what he is) and sees everything as needing a solid structure.

As much as I admire Nikki trying to give everyone a chance at scoring well on the exam by saying that some people do well with hands on stuff instead of test stuff, I think she might have forgotten the fact that there's a lot of people in the class who don't do any work or don't know anything and the only reason why they do well with hands on stuff is because their partner(s) is the one doing all of the work. :/ Bleh.
One time, we'll have to go in a group together. ^o^ It's been a long time since we've done group work! Maybe that'll be for next semester though since I can't see any more group projects being planned in the last few weeks we have before the semester is over. 6'_'

Wayne doesn't really talk to anyone, although he seems to have become a bit more open since he and Tiff started their little fling. Or maybe I'm imagining things.
