But am I even going to be able to do that?

First, do you know that's not a passing grade? Is there a curve that will be applied to these raw numbers?

Also, maybe a study group or a tutor? Maybe one of the biology whiz kidz in the class would be willing to help explain things or study with you for some of your famous chili and/or cinnamon rolls. I would have worked for food in college.

What style? Waist length? Hip length?

Hip. I'll see if I can dig up a picture.

VW, you shall pass.

JS, that's priceless.

Aimee, I'm sorry about Lunar kitty. But you had to do what you had to do. I would have freaked out and gave up a long time ago. You tried.

I don't, most of the time. I use Country Save liquid (because it is on sale more often than the other natural brands) detergent, which is very lightly scented.

We have to use all unscented everything for DH because his skin gets techy with detergents and fabric softeners. My mom used to use Snuggle and I have a lot of nostalgia for that scent.

Hip. I'll see if I can dig up a picture.

Yes, please. I will try and flex the thrift-store-fu for you this weekend.

VW, you will pass. I know you will, because you're smart and determined.

So, uh, Aimee, was there something more you wanted to tell us about this additional work you're taking on?

BWAH! Actually, that's Joe's sideline. He does a bait and switch - people have to watch him do the laundry.

Is there a curve that will be applied to these raw numbers?

Not really. His grading is really strict, unless you're on the edge of pass/fail. Then he'll talk to the TAs and find out if you deserve a few extra points for the system not working for you.

And there are tutors, plus a "development group," which is a tutorial of the week's lectures. I wasn't able to go this week, because of a job interview. But, it's right after my lab, so I plan to go most of the time. The problem with the tutoring offered at school is that they are workshops, and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to fit them into my schedule now that I've got a job. But, we'll see. Plus, I can try to get extra help from the TA.

The TA offered to look over our lab reports if we get them to her early enough. So, I'm going to try to write it tonight so I can send it to her tomorrow. Lab isn't till Tuesday, so that should be enough time, I hope.

Also, I'm at a disadvantage, because my lab is early in the week. So, we may be doing things in lab that we haven't discussed in class yet or have just introduced in class. I'll work through it, though.

Jilli, basically this: [link] but brown, and tricked out.

Cash, my skin gets tetchy, too, which is why we switched to the natural brands ages ago. If we buy on sale and stock up, it's about the same as regular.

I'm going to check at WF to see what they carry. My other natural food market is very small and doesn't carry large quantities.

My gracious. Look at that. I want *that* coat, just the way it is.

Dear Boss: Next time a 300 page document crucial to the future of the school needs to be written/edited, please DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO IT.

I'm sitting here sticking numbers into a Word table as fast as I can. Hour two of that feeling of "I'm expending a lot of brainpower to do something exceedingly boring knowing the numbers are all wrong due to some data normalization problems." And the "key" number upon which EVERYTHING spins appears to be completely wrong and may have to be calculated by hand, which means I'll have to runs hours of data queries to make sure there are no errors in the system before adding up 225 numbers to get it wrong again.

ARRGH.
