"So, do you want to make a handout of the main points of the movie, or make a list of questions for the class to answer?" my partner Nneoma asked.
"Well, he said we should involve the class a little more. We'd better go the question route."
My friend Nneoma and I had been assigned a presentation for our history class, and were meeting in the computer lab at school to work on it. We weren't getting anywhere. One guy was listening to his iPod and the volume was so loud we could hear the lyrics. Another girl over in the corner was talking to her boyfriend on the phone, and was apparently unhappy with him and didn't care who knew it. There was also a nerdy guy at the computer beside me, and he wasn't even doing anything school-related. He was looking at a plot synopsis for some kind of weird-looking anime. But at least he was being quiet.
