Carrying trash around with a person was sort of gross, even though Dot had it all neatly tied up in a lined bag. She kept imagining that people could smell stale fish and slippery rotten fruit pits on her, even though everyone... most everyone... was carrying around food waste. She wasn't the only one who was relieved to be getting ride of it, was she?
The compost pile itself, though... Merlin. It was a trash pile. She was going to voluntarily put herself within trip-and-fall distance of a pile of rotten food garbage. Why did she CARE so much about doing well in this dumb class?
From inside her bag, Dot removed the wilted lettuce and peach pits, the seaweed left over from sushi, the shredded paper napkins, and the tidy pile of dried tea grounds. It took a lot of effort, but she carefully circled the heap, spreading her wet and dry layers evenly over top of everything. A bit of nitrogen help here, a bit of carbon there, and all of it spread out through the pile.
She was gonna go take a bath now, though.
