That's Tiffany. That's blur, not ugly makeup.
Tiffany: Tiffany's been mostly
checker since my second year, but has had a few shifts doing
line. She's pretty good at it, though
not as sadistically iron-fisted as I am. Pretty much an average worker, but
I'd be inclined to say high-average.
Her real relevance is that she's also a math major, with minors in statistics
and business. We've had an increasing number of classes together as we rose to
higher-end math classes, and I've helped her out in most of them. She's bright
but has trouble applying concepts in abstract ways. But once she gets a decent
start on a problem she can usually carry it out.
But more importantly, she's my partner for Senior Seminar,
a profoundly good thing. Her work ethic is strong in a group setting, and she's
comfortable in front of a room, so our presentation is going to rock. Having
seen the few oter groups go so far, ours is going to seem like we're professionals.
So, for once, I don't get shafted because I'm forced into group work. Actually,
even if she hadn't wanted to work with me (though she did), she didn't have a choice:
she had to retake abstract algebra and I still had my book, so she offered to rent
it from me. I said she could use it as long as she needed provided she worked with
me in Senior Seminar, so I got less work and a better
grade while she got likewise and saved some book money. Everybody wins.
An interesting note is that she's also Ken's significant other,
and as it says in his page I've covered for him at a moment's notice so he could
take her places (like Disneyland), so she's also pretty grateful for that. Combined
with all the free math help she's gotten (though I couldn't salvage her algebra
grade, I have helped her to pass other classes, like Optimization and others), she
also has a slight sense of debt to me, which makes for easier interaction.
