Suprisingly, the drama didn't come from Michelle. It came from a dramatic movie. *who would've thought that?!!* So we rent the Butterfly Effect. It was good. However, it was very disturbing and even creepy. I mean, I can't even remember the last time a movie made me feel this way. Usually, horror or drama films have me rolling my eyes. But there was these particular scences where a child has to get naked *only see top portion of the boy and face of the girl* That coupled with a jail scene was really crazy. Then the music they play while looking at the menu for the dvd. Especially at night time with no lights on.

So then its off for another day at the college right. Then I have to work on this molecue portfolio with Romona. We grab a computer and start looking up stuff. Its a big assignment. Approximately 12 pages long. I tell Romona to take a portion and that I would take one. So I'm working my butt off when I see that she is looking at class schedules for 2005. She then says her part was too hard. So I suggest we switch. I look over the little bit of work she did and it was completely wrong. I had to do her page and other pages. In the meanwhile, she says she don't get that part either. So I assign her another page. She can't do any page. So I start to take some deep breaths. I say, "Romona, I like you as a friend. So does Michelle. Its just that you gotta help me because I'm not sure I can finish this by 1Pm. Plus, even if I could finish this by 1, Its not really fair." I then I told her I would be back.

I went to cancel a tutoring session and then seen Michelle. I told her about what I said and she agreed. Not only had I helped her with that, but with her Chemistry quizs, labs, and homework. Michelle took off her lunch break to help her study. Romona still hasn't got anyone to call Michelle. For all that we done for her, she hadn't done anything for us. Not even have a decent conversation with Michelle on the phone. Then I told Michelle, "It'd be nice if she showed appreciation or something. Maybe take us to eat or something" So the conversation has me fired up and I'm ready to tell Romona what I really think of her.

I'm walking over there and then pause. I think about the consequences. I decide to handle the situation more maturely and psychologically. I go back and say "Ok Romona, I'll make you a deal. I'll do the whole assignment if you just get someone to call Michelle for that job." She says, "I been talking to them, but I'll give them another call. So, is that why you were angry?" *referring to my deep breath* I said, "It wasn't that, its just that I'm worried about the assignment. I just want to be able to get something in return." She then calls some supervisors. I'm working hard on the assignment and then Michelle comes in. Romona looks sad to Michelle and Romona says, "How about I take you guys out to eat". Michelle says, "What did you say to her" So she comforts Romona and fakely accuses me of being mean to her. So then its one and we go to class.

I get back some papers and I have all A's on them. I'm happy. My grade jumps up to 88%. *almost an A* Romona has the same grades on her papers. We sit through some lecture and pick up Michelle. We then decide to eat at Denny's. Michelle orders the T-bone steak with shrimp. I didn't want to get that pricey, but then I found there wasn't much else I wanted on the menu either. So I got what she did. Romona gets this sampler and barely eats. She drives us back to the college. Michelle and Romona are really talking and I jump in every now and then. She has to go home but drops us off.

After getting off, I know Michelle thinks I told her to treat us out. However, I didn't say a thing about getting us anything to eat. I believe it was the guilt. I didn't like having to make her feel bad, but at the same time, we have helped her so much and it seems like she sort of expected it. Usually, I don't get involved in helping anyone, but it just sort of happened that way.

So here I am writing the whole thing and feel full. Still wondering if I handled the situation the right way. I dunno. Atleast I got around to reading some diaries, and that's always nice.
