Project Partner
So we have this science project in Chemistry. The type of projects that go to like the little science fairs and stuff. We can do it with a partner if we want but we don't have to. But the only partner work is the actual experiment. We have to write the papers separately.
Well, I'm always at the school an hour and a half before school starts so I can do the experiment I plan to do at school in the mornings since I have absolutely no time after school. And I'm the kind of person that has to measure out everything and stuff to make sure everything is precise. (Slightly OCD there).
Now that I've said those couple of things:
I asked Bailey if she wanted to do the project with me on Friday without really thinking. She's a smart girl, but very pyro and lazy in her own ways. And she doesn't really have any ideas to input into the experiment other than something relating to fire...and using something including a fire for an experiment isn't a good idea with her. She'll burn something down I swear.
Right now I'm contemplating over whether I do or don't want a partner for the project. Should I work with a partner or not? If I should, should I suck it up and work with Bailey or find someone that I'll be more compatible working together with? If not, how should I tell her NICELY that I want to work alone (i.e. excuses that can get me out of it).
Thanks! 15/f

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
i can totally identify with you. it sounds like you would be much better off and much less stressed if you just did the experiment yourself. just go up to her and be like, "bailey, i'm sorry, but i am too stressed out to do a group project right now. i wish i could, but i really have too much going on and i doubt i would be able to do my part in it." it's ok to sugar coat it. you could even bring in the parentals excuse- that your parents don't want you to, or that your religion says that you can't work with fire, or something. i'm joking a little bit about the religion thing, but parents are a great excuse. but here's a problem- when is the project due? if it's due in less than two weeks, i think it might be too late to switch partners. because then it might put bailey in a bind to get the project done. that's just kind of a cordial way to look at it. but no matter how you look at it, the only part you would have to do with a partner is the experiment. you are basically doing the whole thing by yourself anyway, so it seems much simpler for you to do it by yourself. i hope you figure out what you want to do :)

From what you said it would be a very good idea to work with a partner that is more compatible,I mean because this girl could ruin your experiment,and good luck with the project!
