I just finished typing two full pages of notes for a friend who couldn't make it to the review in a class we both have. Now that's not to say hey look at me aren't I nice. On the contrary she (my friend) is certainly one of my favorite people. I'm not saying I'm in love with her but I do like her. I don't say that 'I like' anyone very easily or quickly but there are I would say about 4-5 people my age with whom I hang out that 'I like'.
Anyway... while I was taking the notes I thought about all the people in the class and determined for whom I would be willing to take notes. 'No not him, he is really lazy.' 'No not her, she always tries to use her good looks to get everything she wants.' and so forth, you get the idea. There are I would say at most two or three students whom I would help if they asked. I know they are diligent, intelligent, and kind, all qualities I hold in high regard. History notes are not a life and death situation and I feel that I have fair stipulations for giving my assistance. (Oh I just realized that another one of those people to whom I would send notes wasn't there either. I will send them a copy since I have it typed already.)
Who do you help? How do you categorize the people in your life? Are you as reserved as I am with calling people 'my friend'?
