BURN RATE

The assignment: Read a book with and give a presentation with a group (of people you dont know) at the end of the quarter. We ended up forming a loose group of 3 boys on one side of the class and 3 girls who sit on the opposite side of the class. What book to read? The professor favorite of course! Uhh ohhh, the library only had 2 copies of the book. No Problem! We will al read a couple chapters and bring the summaries together! It might have worked if we all knew each other and had daily contact. We don't so we needed a leader. Someone who would take the initiative. We were an aimless group of drones flying around with our antenna cut off. And then a Queen...errr King Bee emergered! Scott pulled us all together and rallied our sinking spirits. "We are all doomed to a poor grade" we moaned. "Nonsense! I will read the whole book and then we will all be able to make sense of what we have read!" Brilliant, I thought. The presentation that will come forth from such a collaboration will be legendary!....or at least not nausea inducing to our professor Andrew Fry.

may the force be with us
