The Clouds Are Grey Today

–> Flashback (to last week) <–

Ray: Are you good at Chemistry?
Me: (Uhh) Sure …
Ray: No, I’m serious.
Me: (Okay …) I don’t know, not really (The real answer is Hell No, lol!).  Are you good at Chemistry?
Ray: I could be. (What does that mean?!?  That you suck too?)

(Blah, blah, he starts asking me which subjects I was good at in high school)
Ray: Do you mind if we go look for some new lab partners?
Me: Uhh, you could.
Ray: We both should so we can get better grades.
Me: I don’t really care; I’ll just take whoever is left.

(Couple of minutes later, he comes back and starts talking again)
Ray: Okay, are you a good student? (Lol, he couldn’t find anyone else)
Me: …
Ray: Do you care about your grades?
Me: Yeah …

(Bleh, bleh, he asks a couple more questions along the same line)
Ray: Okay, I just didn’t want to be left with a slacker.

–> End Flashback <–

Omg, I hate my life. Lol, I don’t like it when people put pressure on me. I don’t like expecting phone calls from people I don’t want to talk to, and I don’t like making appointments with people I don’t want to meet (haha, because meeting people is that bad). But yeah, I do what the hell I want and when I want to! If i want to call you, then I’m going to call you.  And if I want to meet you, then I’ll flippin’ drop by. But seriously, don’t talk to me about how to do homework or college or anything else I’d rather not waste my free time thinking about.

Haha, so I had lab yesterday. It’s Chem 2A and the first lab, it should be easy. I don’t mind, sometimes, when I screw things up for myself but I hate dragging along others because of my mistakes.

That’s why I hate working in groups. Because either two things happen: you screw other people up OR they screw you up.

I don’t find myself dependable and I don’t find others dependable either.

I work really hard to make sure I don’t mess up other people’s grades, but I’ve been SCREWED so many times (wth?).

Let’s reminisce …

-My cousin (Tyson) in 3rd grade didn’t help AT ALL with our comets report.
-My partner (Sullene) in 4th grade didn’t help with our missionary report and claimed half of the credit.
-My reject group (London, Aaron, Justin and Jeff) in 8th grade didn’t help with our pioneer report. Omgosh, I trusted them to do their parts and they didn’t (two of them were absent on the day it was due, too). I turned in what I had and got a D. But I’m amazing and still pulled off a Super A in US History — lol, but middle school was easy peasy lemon squeezy.
-My group (Brad, Justin and David) in 10th grade did shitty (and barely any) work for our final project. I had to redo it all.
-My music video group (Lucero, Karina and Will) in 12th grade –> Omg! They hardly helped with our Media Academy music video project. That project stressed me out so much. They sucked, lol, just kidding, no really though, they didn’t do much. I logged and captured and edited SHIT till my eyes fell out. I worked through most classes, tutorials and late nights. Where were they?!?! I actually didn’t finish the video on time, but yeah, you know … whatever, I did my part and so MUCH MORE!

But okay, Introductory Laboratory Techniques –> my partner, Ray, was sick with “pneumonia” before the winter quarter had started, so he hadn’t been feeling so well. We’re in the same Math class too, and the homework was due that day, but because of his “pneumonia,” he didn’t finish his Math homework.

He didn’t realize that only like five problems had to be turned in …

Omgosh, seriously, the Professor repeated it soo many times, how hard is it to get?!!?  The problems with a tilda, you do but don’t turn it, the problems with an O, are optional (yes O for optional), and the problems with an asterisk, you TURN IN!

Ray: Really, seriously?! Can I see your homework?
Me: …
Ray: I normally don’t do this, it’s just that I’ve been sick.
Me: Uh, sure, but I don’t think I did all the problems correctly.

At the beginning of lab, he’s copying Chris’ homework (our classmate) instead of helping me with the experiment.

Ray: I swear, I’m usually not like this. (Haha, sure …)

But during Part C, I had him weigh the empty beaker and the beaker with the water and he took such a long time. Omg, you put it on the balance and you write down the number.

Ray: It (the mass) keeps changing.

Omg, it’s only a thousandth of a gram difference, pick one! Don’t spend five minutes every trial getting the mass.

And when we were heating the manganese(II) sulfate monohydrate, he started doing his Math homework again and kept rushing me to finish, omg!

Ray: You know, feel free to ask me for my contact info. so we could meet up and do post lab together.
Me: … Sure. (haha, I didn’t ask for it, and post labs are individual work, fyi, you Dipface!)

But who knows, maybe he usually isn’t like that, maybe it’s the pneumonia!

Lol, whatever. I don’t care, groups suck either way.
