Satine continued working frantically while checking the list of ingredients/steps that she had copied from the board on a piece of parchment. She made sure to check off anything she had already completed.
While reviewing the list, she makes sure to check that her gloves are still in working condition. Reading the list out loud,

"1. Cut open one garbage bag and use it to line your mixing bowl.
CHECK
2. Place water in mixing bowl.
CHECK
3. Add sand or dirt, stirring well.
CHECK
4. Add dash of ammonia.
GAG! CHECK
5. Add dash of organic material stirring until well mixed.
CHECK
6. Place dry ice in 3 garbage bags that have been place inside each other.
Check, check, check," she hoped that she had done these steps correctly.

She looked down at her creation as she continued looking down her list. She thought she was on step 10.

"7. Crush dry ice by pounding it with a hammer.
CHECK" hers was more crushed than pounded
"8. Add the dry ice to the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl while stirring vigorously.
CHECK
9. Continue stirring until mixture is almost totally frozen.
And Check Check Check," she finished with a quick mark through of the final steps she had completed and looked at her frozen "comet."

She read the next step outloud, "10. Use gloves - Lift the comet out of the bowl using the plastic bag and shape it as you would a snowball. Well, that sounds easy enough."

Satine lifted her "comet" out of the bowl with her gloves on being very careful not to spill anything or drop or "comet." How bad would that be if she dropped it and it shattered ever where...bad thought...she focused back in and slowly shaped her "comet" into a medium sized snowball. She put lots of focus into make it perfectly round as she wondered if they were going to learn how to add color to the comet.

She took a quick glance around and continued on.

Realizing that she was wasting time watching the others, she grabbed her almost perfect snowball garbage bag "comet". It must have been a good five to ten minutes that she had just wasted looking around.

"11. Unwrap the comet as soon as it is frozen sufficiently to hold its shape. Well, that sounds easy enough." she said with confidence as she slowly unwrapped the garbage bag from her "comet" snowball. At first things went smoothly, but on the under side of the ball, the garbage bag was frozen solid to the ball. She had to take these tiny pieces off one by one which seemed to take for forever and a day.

"Okay final step!" she said with a triumphant smile and she imagine herself doing a little jump out of joy since she was almost done.

"12. Place the comet on a paper plate. I hope I can do that one" she said sarcasticly as she proudly placed her comet on the paper plate and examined it closely to make sure that it was going to work.

Once she figured out that her comet was great, she looked around the class and waited for the next set of instructions from the professor. Then she took her gloves off and cleaned up a bit.
