[769-790] As far as my lab partner, she was really friendly honestly and that’s the biggest thing. Because, not that I’m not a friendly person, but I guess, I’m not that good at just, socializing right away basically. But she was and also, if I’m cool with that type of person, then I have no problem as well. So, I’ll say that, that definitely worked well. Then we got to know each other. We were able to just, basically go in the lab, we know what to do. We talk about it, we text. We’re literally, like I said, we’re working on the abstract for four hours yesterday, texting back and forth, trying to figure out what to write. So, I think that’s been good. And then my peers as a whole, last semester we were even more so all together because of the whole cohort thing. And then this semester we broke up basically, into more sectioned groups, obviously. Because, literally, like I said, you had to go down the path kind of thing. So then, now I’m with a more select group of people and to be honest, I probably like it more. Just because of the people that ended up having to be in the group. Not because I didn’t like the other people, just because, I think that me and these other people are able to like … Well, we actually were the people that would more specifically go to the library and study to be honest. Because not everyone would go and do it, but I was one of the people that would consistently do it. There was my friend that lives five tenants away. So, there’s a couple of other people and, a lot of these people are in the same classes that I am now, which again, still has helped me. Because then, I just get them to do the study groups within this stuff and I do the orgo quizzes and stuff along those lines. So, yeah. I think that my reaction has definitely been good, and it definitely has helped me overall.
