How to be a good Lab Partner

Or really, a good partner in any group assignment. Or I guess you could call this a glorified vent about my bad partner. She really nice. She's enthusiastic...sometimes. Anyway, the points:
1) When you say you'll do something, DO IT. Such as when you tell her you'll email her to tell her when you can get together to start something.
2) When your partner wants to start something (like your project), don't tell her you will "plan that when we come to it."
3) If you do happen to make that mistake, don't go ahead and do the project without her. Chances are, she's still waiting for you to email her to tell her when you can get together and "come to it."
4) If possible, don't turn down their ideas. Chances are, they think they are good ideas. This also makes them afraid to suggest anything else. Also, if you do the aforementioned three things in addition to this, it makes them feel like you are trying to do this project by yourself because you don't like their ideas. It makes them mad, and sad, and suspicious. It also makes them feel like any coincidence (such as going to your house to do the project instead of theirs) is you pushing them so that the project turns out as you want it to. This makes them not even want to deal with you, and like they want to do their own project.

I feel very productive!

I am very proud of myself today! I got enough sleep (a miracle in itself), then got up and cleaned my room and bathroom (another miracle). Then I made a pie. Yes, that's right, I made a pie. See, last night I had a dream in which I made a pie, and I woke up with the thought that I had to make a pie. So I got Grandma to show me how to make crust, and I made a cherry pie. With lattice-weave top crust! And while I did this, I listened to my assignments for World Music cultures (studying for the test). I tell you, nothing beats making a cherry pie while listening to loud Tongan music! Then I put my whites in the washer (the washer is finally fixed, hallelujah), ate lunch, filled out the FAFSA worksheet, printed out a paper, washed my face, did my makeup, and was out the door to school on time! Wow, I'm amazing, no?

My poor family are all sick. Poor Catherine has viral bronchitis. I'm looking forward to Saturday. Listen to this schedule:

Fun, fun, no?
