Monkey's Magical Treehouse of Awesomeness

Just trying to do my best to pass my classes.

well, maybe ask the Teacher earlier for clarification? its a misconception that you need to do everything without help. That's what they are being paid to do so take advantage of what you are paying for! ( my humble opinion of course because I often need that reminder)

[MonkeyGirl18]

I mean, I forgot about it until she sent an email reminder the day before it was due and I spent the time trying to remember what she said and by the time emailing her even crossed my mind was this morning, right before I had to leave for class.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

well, that was nice of her to give you a reminder

Well, on the bright side, you could use the whole experience as an example of the "concept of interpersonal communication!" A predict an A+ if you use it!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

so how did that go?

[MonkeyGirl18]

....uhhhh good.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

were you able to get a class contact in case you miss something, can't get hold of the Teacher, or need someone to ask?

[MonkeyGirl18]

I mean, the whole thing happened because I misunderstood something that I should have just emailed the teacher about. But I don't like to do that because I want to look like someone who understands completely and knows what they're doing. I just refused to ask for help until I had no choice but to ask. It's not that I couldn't get a hold of the teacher.

I understand that desire, but if you have questions (there are no stupid questions!) you could actually be helping the teacher to teach better/differently. If they don't know their communication isn't effective, they can't modify things to make their teaching more effective. It takes two to tango as they say!

I've had the same problem with both school and work. If it helps, we're only human.

and don't be afraid to ask...that shows initiative too

I realized that not all McDonalds price things the same....

Large soda in my hometown McDonalds is $1.80
vs
Large soda at the McDonalds I work at is $1.69

Large Iced Coffee in my hometown Mcd's is $3.70
vs
Large Iced Coffe at the McD's I work at is $2.32

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Wow, that's alot - all our McDonald's soda and coffee drinks are $1 regardless of the size. It's just the McCafe beverages that are more.

[MonkeyGirl18]

For the McD's I work at...
Tea any size and coffee any size are $1.

Customers ask me all the time why our sodas aren't $1 any size and start to tell me how another McD's does that.

I can't tell them anything but that's just how they're priced here. Like, I don't make the decisions on the price, I just work the register.
