That in my current job/assignment, I somehow managed to integrate myself into a pseudo-clique.
Normally, that takes FOREVER for me but now, I'm in a pseudo-clique at work.
The finest bit? The clique sorta materialised on the 2nd day. This doesn't happen all the time. But I do have nice colleagues (omitting the Presiding Examiner, Senior Assistant Presiding Examiners and the old fogeys of invigilators). And I am thankful to have a partner who hasn't changed since day 1, because we have a SOP when it comes to handing our charges. Makes things sooooooo much easier since the understanding has been there from day 1. As well as the other girl from the other row (and from the other faculty in university), it was nice going out last Friday, and I don't normally go out with new people (not on the 2nd day) to malls.
Onto more negative stuff, the presiding examiner,PE is a slave driver. Other PEs accorded their invigilators with a 40-min break over the course of a 3 hour paper and what do we get?10 minutes. Nevertheless, my partner and I went for a 30-min break (after striking a deal with the 2 invigilators from the next row). Do I care what the PE thinks? No. I just rather he stay away from me, I can't stand his talking (did I mention he's a little deaf? I had to repeat myself like 6 times before he registered what I was trying to say).
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
