OPEN BAR: it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I had to come home to get my goggles.

Now I have to go back to school.

PSU is trying to recruit me for something and I don't know what yet.

I think I am coming down with the fear.

It's a trap.  They'll chase you into a box canyon.  They will blow you up with dynamite.  They've got Martin Bormann's brain in a jar and HE WANTS A MATE.

Dissoloution papers filed, have to wait until end of April for the hearing, but it will just be me there.

I feel like the waiting is the worst part.

It will be SO MUCH BETTER by then though.

So, my chem lab partner is a trainwreck. I've been suspecting since the beginning of the term, but I actually had only had three labs with her and they were all really simple. I did notice that the day she was out sick and I got to partner with vastly more competent people went much more smoothly, and that was by far the hardest lab we've done. But now, yeah, it's pretty much plain that she doesn't belong in the class. She doesn't seem to know how to use computers, and she can't follow simple written instructions. I can hold her hand through a lab when I already have a reasonable level of competence, but if it's something I need to focus on I'm just fucked. Like, I can't. I just can't. She doesn't know ALGEBRA. She doesn't understand what an inverse proportion is. She can't solve for P2 given the information that P1/V1=P2/V2. She interrupts me constantly with questions because she doesn't know what to do next or how to do anything.

SHE LITERALLY CANNOT FOLLOW WRITTEN STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS. I HAVE TO TELL HER WHAT TO DO ONE STEP AT A TIME. SHE CANNOT READ A SYRINGE. This SHOULD have been one of the easiest labs to do but it was hellish and frustrating. She is very nice, but she should not be in this class at all. How the hell did she get into this class?

PSU offered me a peer mentoring job, which is awesome. Slightly changes my Spring plans, but honestly, for the better, significantly.

Looks like I start doing security next week again, barring any unforseeable events.  Just 24 hours - 2 nights - a week, but it's enough to pay my rent/bills and give me spending money on top of that.

Additionally, I've got yet another writing assignment.  A bit vague on the details (well, the important details, how long, when for and how much), but it's Russia and Ukraine, so I should be able to do it with little problem.

Is this a pay thing, an intern thing, or sort of in between?

I think this is done intentionally, to some degree, to train college students as to what to expect in real life.  Kinda surprised they sprung it on you, though.  If I were the prof, I'd have assigned the twit to a bright 20 year old, just to temper the iron before he/she sets foot in a RL chemistry environment.

It's paid.

As with the other two jobs I've been offered, it's dependent on a grant, but unlike the other two, I think the grant has already gone through.

I think this was more or less randomly-occurring, by virtue of me having been in a different lab last term and coming into this one where almost everyone already had a lab partner from last term.

Ugh, off to yoga, back in two hours.

Oh, okay.

Because back in physics, I noticed that they always seemed to pair up a hard worker with a yutz.
