The after: 3

You guys know how I feel about lab partners right? Useless? Anyway, I was going to do everything by myself, but this girl asked me if I wanted to be her lab partner and I kind of felt sorry for her (she's a bit clueless), so I agreed. I had her stand there with the pH meter and do all of the menial things that I didn't want to do. I guess it worked out in the end. I did 7/8 of the lab and gave her all of the answers. I even offered to explain it to her, but she said it was okay because she wanted to leave early, so she left and I sat there and did the calculations we had to turn in by myself. I feel so used.

Well, when we were waiting for the spectrophotometer readings we started talking and she told me about how she was 27 and had 2 kids, 11 and 8. See, when normal people hear this they think, "Oh, okay. How cute." or something along the lines of that. However, my brain doesn't work that way. When I heard this I thought, "SO YOU GAVE BIRTH AT THE AGE OF 16?!" and you guys know how sometimes my words bypass the filter and go straight out of my mouth? It was a close call. I was surprised, but I had to pretend like this was the most normal thing in the world and that everyone gets pregnant at 16. I think I had to improvise with something along the lines of "Ohh, so they go to school here? I pass by an Elementary School on my way to lab!" even though I was still in shock. It's good though. That she's in school, I mean.

Last part of the long update: my shoes came and they're beautiful. :)

This made me laugh because it seems like something I would do. It reminded me of my intricate ant traps in middle school where I made barriers with soap to try and confuse them. Hey, it worked sort of. HAHA. My answer would have been the same. So nerdy.

I'm glad I split that up. That update was way too long for one post. I'll try to be more consistent so I don't have to do that anymore.
