No, she's not a mean controlling bitch or anything like that. She's actually extremely nice, very considerate, funny, and just an all-around cheerful person; she's all of that in spite of the horror stories she's told us about being in the army (she was actually on a battle field somewhere). And k925, I completely understand what you mean by other people improving on your work and all that. I'd have to agree with you except that chemistry is kicking my ass so hard that I have little time to really focus on my other classes, so when another person can pick up that slack... well that's all right with me.
BigBen, I like your advice but the troulbe is only two people in the group are old enough to "go out drinking" and I'm not one of them
I came up with the same idea La Petite Moi did and it's on the table right now, I'm just waiting to see what everyone else says. I also really like crapshoot's idea. We'll probably end up doing one of the two.
