Today was the dreaded "Choosing of Partners for Group Projects" although it could just be me who dreads it. I guess it is because there always seems to be a fight to see who gets to be my partner. I suppose that is an arrogant thing to write but it is true. In some ways it is flattering, in other ways not so much. Even Manny Taur goes out of his way to be nice to me. He is not exactly good at it, but he does try. Mr Hackington decided this year to try and mitigate the chaos by putting all our names into a skull and drawing them out two at a time. There was some complaining about this new development until he finally said "You gets what you gets and you don't pitch a fit!" My parents used to tell me that when I was a little ghoul, well probably not exactly the way Mr Hackington said it, but

My parents used to tell me that when I was a little ghoul, well probably not exactly the way Mr Hackington said it, but he got his point across. Regardless, at least it keeps me from having to say "yes" to one classmate and "no" to the rest. Cleo complained the loudest about the new system until our names got pulled as partners...sigh...I love Cleo and she is my beast friend ever but I was really hoping for...well, it does not matter. He got paired up with Frankie and I am sure they will do just fine. Normally, having Cleo as a partner means...it means the extra credit work I usually do when I am working on a project by myself seems to be enough for both of us to get an "A". Cleo's main functions include reminding me to do things I have already done and calling Deuce to bring us lunch or lattes. Not that I complain too much about that, and Deuce does have a way of keeping Cleo focused. She also insists on giving the final presentation, which usually goes well since she does command attention. This time though our assignment is to research the Science of Perfume, and then our final project will be to create our very own fragrance. I must say I was completely surprised by Cleo's enthusiasm for the project. I am not sure whether to be excited or frightened by this development.
