Bitching and abusing the shift key

themadpokerOkay. There's this girl in my Civics class. Let's call her H. Now H is having a bit of trouble with school right now; she's got History this semester and apparently you get alot of homework. I wouldn't know, I've got it next semester. So H is in my group for a Civics project (it's called the Active Citizen, and it's worth 30% of our grade). Since H's been having so much trouble she's gotten into the habit of calling me for help. Not a problem right? I mean it's just the nice thing to do, helping someone out. And you know I totally wouldn't mind. Except she calls me Every. Single. Freaking. DAY. And it's not just "oh can you help me with this one question I don't get" it's "So I tried the homework and I'm feeling kind of insecure so would you mind going through EVERY SINGLE QUESTION WITH ME?" Again, I can deal with this.
What I CAN'T deal with is the fact that she isn't pulling her weight on our project. :@ I've split up everything so she gets the easiest work (which is not as altruistic as it sounds, I'm just afraid she'll screw up anything else). The only major thing I've assigned her is our Process Check #3 (which is only doing basic research). Anyways she called me right now asking if I'd do some of it for her. Cause y'know googling is just so hard to do. I've done the majority of the work on this project and I'm so fucking SICK of it (excuse my language) so I just kind of snapped. I told her no, you can do your own work for once and she starts saying that's unfair because she helped me with the other work I did. This is the part where I'm a little proud of myself because I did not scream "WTF? COMING ON MSN FOR GROUP MEETINGS AND ASKING ME IF I HAVE ANY IDEAS WHEN WE'RE BRAINSTORMING IS NOT HELPING". Instead I calmly told her that I actually feel that she did not help me and it's not that hard to use google for research (so maybe I wasn't perfect). So now she's pissed off and I feel like maybe I've been a bitch. D: Sorry, but there's a limit to my patience. I'm so tired of her being so DEPENDENT.
