motley crew

i am doing good. enjoying the company of fellow mariners at the prep course. but this time, its a little different. all of us have a decent work ex. so the average IQ of the group has shot up. its scary, the kinda knowledge and exposure some guys have had. sometimes during discussions, all i can contribute is a very embarassing "duh" or just pretend to know / understand what the other guy is talking about. during lectures, when i am bored, i just look around and observe guys. there is a guy who does the hindu crossword everyday - manages to get around 90 % of them right. there's an ex race car driver. cool chap, but busy with family commitments most of the time. he took me to a car race one weekend. had a great time. there are guys who just couldnt care less about the prep course. they only come to have a good time. and there are those who are glued onto every word the lecturer utters. i try not to be judgemental. i enjoy their company. thats what matters.
