See my note and Christine's response.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Jimmie, 
apparently she's had a crush on you ever since she heard you say, 
"Cash-sucking machine."

Jeff,

Sorry, I should have mentioned when we spoke that Prof Aceves already said it
would be OK to join a group with 4, making it 5. He knew that would be the
case. He suggested I pick a group, rather than him just randomly choosing one
to assign me to. You seemed nice based on my initial reaction to meeting you,
which is why I approached you about it.

If the group has reservations based on my past group's experience, please let
them know that the situation arose because I was out of the country for a week
and a half without email access, and therefore wasn't able to contribute to
two weeks of assignments. I had let Prof Aceves know about this planned
business-related absence even before the course started, so he didn't penalize
me. He forgot that I was the person who had sent him that note when my group
approached him to let him know I hadn't contributed to two assignments. He
said based on that, he would speak to the group to put me back in it if I
wanted, or I could join another group. I hadn't had any conflicts whatsoever
with the other group, I just had been out of communication, but I felt that
given what had happened starting with a fresh group would be easier. In my
opinion, it was just unfortunate that this trip happened two weeks into the
class, before I could prove myself to my old group.

If you can communicate both of these things to your other group members, I
really would like to join you all. My alternative at this point would be to do
the next assignment individually, since I wouldn't be able to find another
group until two weeks from now, and then have the professor assign me to one.

I greatly appreciate your help. If I can join you all, please let me know as
soon as possible so I can make sure I contribute to the next assignment.

Thanks,
Christine
