Like you don't have enough on your plate already. I hope you can hang in there. I got in trouble in med school once (well, would have, if anyone had figured it out:). As must be true everywhere, students tended to claim particular seats in the main lecture hall, certain cliques would develop, and the non-assigned seating became assigned by default and carved in stone. So before classes started for the second year, I sneaked into the hall with a Dymo labeller, and labelled each chair with a name, placing everyone exactly where they'd not want to be, sitting with people they'd otherwise have avoided at all costs (well, even med students are humans, meaning potentially venal and stupid.) As class opened and people wandered in, pandemonioum slowly developed, and ended with a march on the dean's office. The dean came to the hall and assured everyone it was not official. I remained silent. Jesus! Like you don’t have enough on your plate already. I hope you can hang in there. I got in trouble in med school once (well, would have, if anyone had figured it out:).
