1350: The Disgusted Newcomer Xia (3 More)
Nightmare prolongs the class indefinitely.
Staying up all night and being questioned all the time and stuttering in answers naturally made me even more nervous.
Obviously I know, but it will get stuck.
Xia Xiaolan wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Can she say that Professor McCarthy discriminates against Asian students?
no, all students who are not gifted, are in the negative range of Professor McCarthy.
It is estimated that Professor McCarthy also has his own confusion. Why would some people not understand such simple knowledge? I don't understand this, what kind of architecture do you want to study? Those who can learn are his students, those who don't understand are idiots, there are only two extreme cognitions, and there is no middle value at all.
Professor McCarthy said that when the class was over, Xia Xiaolan's entire shoulder collapsed.
"All the homework that is unqualified must be redone. Check next week. This new exchange student, which group of you want her?"
The new exchange student was abused like a dog in the first class. No one from the unqualified groups took the initiative to ask Xia Xiaolan, for fear that another one would be a hindrance. Professor McCarthy snorted heavily:
"Which group do you go to, Charlie? Chuck? Whatever."
Professor McCarthy casually put Xia Xiaolan in a group, and hurried away with a briefcase.
The sound of his footsteps disappeared completely in the corridor, and the students in this classroom came to life.
The man who was caught by McCarthy was a red-haired boy. He wore glasses, had freckles on his face, and was only a little taller than Xia Xiaolan:
"I'm Richard!"
"..."
Therefore, they are not called Charlie or Chuck at all. Xia Xiaolan sheds bitter tears for Richard.
But I don't know that Richard sympathizes with her more, "Xia, Professor McCarthy will keep asking you questions until you can answer his questions fluently, or there is a new transfer student... Anyway, welcome to you. Cornell University, you are welcome to join our study group."
It seems that torturing newcomers with questions is a method often used by Professor McCarthy, and Richard and others are very familiar with it.
Xia Xiaolan is already late for admission, how can there be a new student to replace her?
She turned her gaze to Ning Xue, so she said, was it her own admission that saved Ning Xue?
Classmate Ning Xue is really unkind. It would be nice to have two reminders yesterday without losing a piece of meat.
"Richard, what about the homework?"
Richard is more worried than she is. The results are all based on the group. This is not Richard's business alone.
There are four people in this group plus Xia Xiaolan. In addition to Richard, there is one Lyle and one Daisy.
Lyle is fat, and Daisy is a little too plump.
Compared with the group of Danny I met yesterday, the architecture students are even more sloppy, and Daisy still has acne on her face. It is estimated that the stress caused endocrine disorders.
"You also studied architecture in China. Have you done this before?"
Daisy asked Xia Xiaolan.
Building models out of concrete, wood, plywood and plastic? Xia Xiaolan shook her head: "I haven't done it."
She really hasn't done it yet.
She moves her mouth most of the time.
The tedious and tedious part spends money to hire people, and Mao Kangshan is a technical consultant. What kind of model does she build, the ideas she puts forward, and the planning, doesn't it directly become a real thing?
Xia Xiaolan's straightforward answer made Richard and the three wailing.
Is this really a helper?
Professor McCarthy must be trying to kill their group! Don't give them a chance to get credit!
"But I learn things quickly..."
Well, Xia Xiaolan's defense was ruthlessly ignored. She was the one who was hanged and abused by Professor McCarthy's question today, and what she said had no credibility. Before she finished digesting this "Structural Elements", the three of Richard didn't have the slightest confidence in her!
"Structural Elements" belongs to the category of architectural engineering. Xia Xiaolan came here as an exchange student, and it is already the second semester of her sophomore year.
Last semester, Richard and others had already completed the "materials and methods" of architectural engineering. Richard strongly suggested that Xia Xiaolan should also make up for the previous course.
"Professor McCarthy's question is extended."
Well, what can Xia Xiaolan say?
Work hard and study hard.
The textbooks and knowledge here are updated very quickly. Although she has learned some under Mao Kangshan, she still can't catch up with Cornell University... This is normal, or Huaguo students want to study abroad, right? Better yet, why go abroad?
Xia Xiaolan buried her head for a week, and in a blink of an eye it was another weekend.
During this period, she could receive a call from Zhou Cheng to Wen's house every other day.
Most of the time it was Zhou Cheng who spoke, and she was listening.
Xia Xiaolan responded casually, and Zhou Cheng was very happy.
Zhou Cheng still has such a side?
However, Xia Xiaolan is not good at using Wen's phone to talk on the phone every day, she and Zhou Cheng usually only talk for a few minutes. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it's morning in the country, Xia Xiaolan wondered:
"Didn't you go back to the academy?"
Xia Xiaolan remembered the Army Academy, but she could only use the phone for the students on weekends.
It's not always good to call Zhou Cheng every other day.
What's more, it must be very troublesome to make overseas phone calls from the Army Academy. Soldiers are very sensitive to contact with foreign countries. Without approval, the military status means that Zhou Cheng can't even go abroad without authorization.
"I naturally have my own way, I just want to hear your voice."
Zhou Cheng said it was easy, and Xia Xiaolan didn't go into it.
Zhou Cheng is now working hard to maintain this relationship. The two are now in two different countries. If Zhou Cheng loses contact again, this relationship will probably end without a problem - Xia Xiaolan just doesn't have time to devote her energy, it doesn't mean she doesn't love Zhou Sincerely.
Thinking of Zhou Cheng's sudden hug when the train was about to start, Xia Xiaolan's heart couldn't be hardened.
If the real temptation is the first love, Zhou Cheng is Xia Xiaolan's "first love" in two lifetimes.
Xia Xiaolan just didn't want to be so thoughtful about everything.
Zhou Cheng said he had a way to contact him, and Xia Xiaolan just listened.
Even if they talk for a few minutes each time, they can gradually improve the estrangement between each other. When Zhou Cheng made the third call, Xia Xiaolan was willing to talk to him about life in the United States... The fear of being dominated by Professor McCarthy, Xia Xiaolan really Need to find someone to talk to.
Zhou Cheng said that he did not dare to drag Xia Xiaolan to preview all the time:
"Hurry up and read the book. I know you have to be strong and not admit defeat. Anyone can like you as long as you want, right?"
After being said by Zhou Cheng, Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but slightly curled up the corners of her mouth.
Of course she knows how to be likeable, which is Xia Xiaolan's strength.
No matter how stern and mean Professor McCarthy is, he will definitely not hesitate to praise the truly outstanding students—there are only two words in front of Xia Xiaolan: become stronger!
Looking at it from another angle, everyone is a "dumb student" who is not liked by Professor McCarthy. She and Ning Xue are really on the same starting line this time!
Xia Xiaolan has been sleepless this week. While taking other classes, she nibbled "Structural Elements" and met and discussed with the people in the study group.
It's a pity that the three of Richard didn't trust her, and they didn't listen to her opinion after knowing that she hadn't worked on architectural models.
In this alternate busyness, I once again came to Professor McCarthy's class...
