Problems

About three days ago, there was a student government meeting. In that meeting, the president of my organization attended and put in a request for money. Money we want in order to pay our choreographer for Hip Hop and Jazz. I am not sure what happened or what was said in the meeting, but my partner calls me later that night. She expressed her discontent after she heard someone say in the meeting, according to her, “how is she putting a request when she doesn’t even now how she is going to pay the choreographer?”

Days before the meeting, I had told everyone in the Hip Hop class that Jazz and Hip Hop where going to be suspended until further notice. One of the students then asks me why the sudden change? I say, “we need to pay the choreographer and in order to do so, we need to put in a money request,” that was all I said.

While on the phone, she was mad because she thinks I was telling everyone about our business and how I am a careless thinker. I then tell her, “I don’t see what’s the problem in letting people know what is going on.” She just starts going off and so do I. She starts telling me not to give her an attitude, but she was the one who began, it was her problem that she did not know how to defend herself from a stupid comment. The way I would have responded to the comment was by saying, “that is why I am here putting a money request, otherwise I wouldn’t be here and do I know you? Do you have any relationship with my organization? How dare you speak on my behalf?”

After she told me that this was the first time I gave her an attitude, I apologized. I realized I should not have snapped at her even after she tried to blame everything on me. She might be the president according to the paperwork, but I have been doing everything without her input. We are working on this together and I just want to keep normalcy between us.

From what I heard, organizations at LTU battle for money due to the lack of funds. If I would have been there, I would have talked so much he/she would have wished never to have opened the hole on there face.
