When De Gullickson was assigning project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all I hoped he wouldn't assign me to work with the fiercely competitive extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate (命运) would have it, Dr. Gullickson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself He looked at me as though I weren't there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasn't t mean or abusive. He just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say. I didn't look forward to an entire term of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didn't say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis(假说), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings, Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project! I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades-the exact opposite of me. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions, we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers! I wasn't sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.
