Money and Group Projects
Lately i have been getting money from the school but I don't really know for what purpose. But it is nice to have for the upcoming vacation and such. I'm mostly saving it though. I figure stuff could come up. I do need to buy things rom Salem this weekend or Friday though.
Today i gave Eli and O'Ryan a jump when they got stuck in Independence. My class got out early and thats when they called me. Lucky for me i insisted on having jumper cables in my car! I ended up being about 15 minutes late to class. And today was when the professor was going to sit down with our group and straighten stuff out. We've been working on a group project of researching and building some props for a play. Not one that will actually be performed but it;s an exercise of what it would be in the real world. And it's a 300 level class so people are supposed to like you know care and stuff. But i was put with baseball guy and supr slacker theater kid. Baseball guy has been to class once sinc week 3 when the project was assigned and slacker well... Yeah slacked. SO i got stuck doing pretty much all of the work and it was really stupid and i got pissed. The project is turned-in in 3 stages. I did pretty much all of the first. And by that i mean 95% of it. And so slacker said he would do the next part. I said okay and told him if he needed help just ask. Two days before it was due i emailed him again seeing how it was going and if he needed more help. No reply. Come Thursday it is due he isn't in class. Well neither but Baseball guy is ALWAYS gone. So i emailed again. Checking in seeing what was up. Sunday comes along and the professor emails us saying where is all your shit? I freak out and don;t get a email from Slacker until that night when he sends me a document that could have literally been thrown together in 3 minutes and that met 0 of the criteria. To cover my ass i do a whole buch of extra work to make it fit criteria but because i only have so much time it's pretty bad too and i sent that on Monday along with an email to the professor saying how frustrated i was with the lack of attendance, communication, and participation of the other two and how i had done all of the project. He wrot eback saying he was wondering what was up and that i was a great and hardd working student and i shouldn;t be stuck doing everything. We decided that we would talk about it today in class.
So after coming in 15 minutes late i sit down and the room is TENSE. Holy cow. I was scared to walk in. But i did nd started taking notes on what needs to be in the final stage of the project because at this stage lets face it i'd probably be the one making sure that shit was done too. So i did that. About 20 minutes later he said he was going to talk with each group starting with ours. (Holy cow everyone was actually there.) I quickly ran up and said that MY car broke down (It's better sounding that way rather than i left purposefully to go help Eli) and he was very understanding. THe group sits down and he turns to me and say "well you missed the big bitch out." And i was like ohhhh man. But then he said "but you weren;t the one that needed it anyways". Apparently all the other people in all the other groups were also slacking and turning in shit work while i was turning in good or more acceptable given what i know how to do stuff. So he was really disappointed by everyone forgetting to do parts of te project and not meeting all the criteria. He then turns and asks the boys what they have done in the project. To which they honestly have like nothing. Slacker says well i sent you that word document. And he pulls it up on his laptop and says this? That took you maybe 10 minutes at the most? And then he turns to Baseball and says and what has been your contribution to the work done? And he says "well the group talked about how we could make bread" and hr professor says "Not what the group has talked about but what have you physically done?" Nothing. So he bitches them out while i just sit there embarrassed for them because i get really freaked when people are getting guilt tripped and called out. But long story short the group has another chance to get their shit done but i do not have to do anything because i did all the other things before it. And the professor said that. So good for me and i am happy. But it was a pretty stressful day because of it.
Also i have to give a speech on Thursday which i am not looking forward tough. And Millie starts back up tomorrow. Luckily i have been able to get a lot of stuff done over the past two days of non-plays.
Oh! And for my costuming class on Monday i made a bag! And it is really cute! I like it a lot. I will post pictures when i am back in my room. Maybe tomorrow if i'm not too busy. But odds are i will be. I have been really busy lately. As if my absence of posts hasn't shown. But that means i;m busy and happyp and there is not much to report. But yeap.

Oh Laundry...
I don't mind doing laundry i just mind folding it. Its such a waste of time because i'm just going to unfold it later! I really like my detergent though which is why I haven't taken laundry home. Its apple mango tango. And it is delicious. Plus the machines here have little drawers to put in the fabric softener so i can do that too! Me gusta.
I've been trying to decide if i want to add more money to my meal plan or just buy more groceries. I seem to go out to food with people a lot. Like Kristen and a girl from my hall or taking people from Bramlewood. I think i will. Because the worst is that i have too much and have to have people over to spend it all at the end of next term. Because that would be so horrible... But i eat their food so it makes sense that they eat mine. Seems fair. So i think i will. The school sent me 2 checks for some reason or another which is cool. SO it can cover that and the beach trip! Yay!
Also i just got mymattress topper to fit onto my twin xl when it is a twin sheet thing. GO ME!
