Reminiscence:
2nd semester of my 1st year in college. I was teamed up with Christine, we had the same Chemistry 112 course (Inorganic Chemistry), so we had to share the same lab equipment, locker, etc. Lab mates. From day 1 I immediately realized that this girl was a control freak. When I touched the automatic pipette to dilute the substrate, she yelled, "Dont touch!"
Amazed and aloof at her outburst, but ravished at her cute face, I puffed my lips and swallowed my annoyance. I gave in.
So it continued to--this kind of lab relationship for 2-3 weeks. Until the week of our Lab exam, i couldn't stand it anymore. I requested the lab instructor for a new partner (to take effect after the 1st exam, of course). So the next week--i was partnered with another person.
Christine was angry at me because apparently in her words, 'I betrayed' her. How is transferring a betrayal? First of all, i couldnt even stand this girl. Every time I tried to correct her--and I knew i was correct because--modesty be set aside--science is a past time for me. But anyways--we had 2 quizzes that we had mistakes for because she didnt accept my correction. lol.
Today we're just friends. Never asked to be partnered with her after our 1st lab experience.
Typical Christine.
Lesson of the story: Some ladies can be great friends. but really bad partners.
