Foreigners!

Gosh, it's a lot harder than I thought to keep up with posting every week. Especially since I am not just here enjoying the city, I am also in school. As far as school goes, I still like my professors and I am meeting more local students in my classes also. One thing I have started to dislike is the group project element of my classes... this is mostly because I chose to work with other exchange students. My idea was, it will be easier to work together since their English should be good. WRONG! Not only does one of Austrian partners not understand what I say at times, he also has no idea of how to write a college paper! I get so frustrated. Oh, but wait, he also expects we should rearrange our project schedule around him travelling to China. Uggghhh! But as angry as I get, it has really helped my patience and ability to be more understanding sometimes.

Lesson learned: Don't work with foreign students just because they speak better English; because IT WILL backfire on you!
