So, you know how schools have a weird mini market where you trade with one another to obtain the object you think would be useful? Well, we are doing this activity twice. Except this time, it's a test. I know. A test for home ec is opening a market. We are using money instead of trading, and using money is supposed to teach us how to use money wisely. I don't know about you, but when I heard this I was like "What? Opening a market is definitely not going to teach us any valuable lessons at all!" I mean, I'm sure it'll be enjoyable for a test, but is this actually going to teach us a lesson? I think not. We had teams of 2 or 3, but I was more comfortable with nobody, basically, I wanted solitude. I was extremely lucky, because my partner didn't want to work with me, (I don't know why) so I was free to work with my plan and make my stall on my own. I was ecstatic, because I was positive that I would somehow have to use my awful people skills to get through this project. The only way I can get along with anyone who I am not very intimate a.k.a. friends with(Which is every single person in our class) is listening and agreeing with whatever the person says. What happens is that I do not get even one say in what we sell, or how we display our items, and everything else. If I'm feeling courageous for some awkward reason, I will start to argue, and the atmosphere turns into a very intense and heated debate. This means we will never be able to work with anything, which means we will, without a doubt, fail. In worst case, the partner might select the object or choose the theme of what we are trying to sell, and spontaneously decide that I am that person's slave, and I end up doing all the work. If I am going solo, i can avoid all of this.
So, I decided to sell some jewelry like rings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and etc.
I an feeling quite optimistic and hopeful about this exam. I am hoping that I at least get an adequate grade.
