Gem was a good study buddy but not a good workout partner. She would always sit on my lap and keep me company whenever I had to study or read. However, when I would do pullups she would go and sit right underneath me. Then I would get distracted and start laughing and have to stop the set and carefully lower myself without landing or stepping on her. When I did pushups, she would dart underneath me on each rep. I had to keep her completely away whenever I did a workout involving weights.
