Chemistry: A Hate-Hate Relationship

I could care less about electronegativity, ranking periodic trends, crystal lattice energy, intermolecular forces, valence bond theory, and - yes - even thermodynamics. In fact, especially thermodynamics. I hate math and I could care less if negative delta G is stable and spontaneous. And, can you believe that there is something called the "uncertainty principle" we're supposed to be calculating?? The uncertainty principle. HONESTLY. Calculating means you KNOW the thing. I'm already uncertain. You know how odd it is to be uncertain on how to calculate the uncertainty principle???

AND there's this guy, Hess, whose work we have to go through twice since he is obviously VERY important. Theoretically and mathematically. And deBroglie's name reminds me of a caterpillar, don't ask. Aufbau reminds me of Auchwitz (no offense to anyone taking offense) and Hund reminds me of the Huns. Pauli reminds me of a parrot perched on a pirate's shoulder, and Rydberg reminds me of a delivery service. THAT is what is going through my head with all those names. Trust me, it does not help.

And what is up with all the abbreviations?? It's a review. It means I forgot everything long before this. There's IE, EA, AR, IR, IMF, ENC, VB, AO, MO, G, S, and H. There's more... but who cares?

Actually, I do. Why? Because my entire semester's grade rests on this stupid exam that I'm to take tomorrow. This reeks. I changed majors.

I didn't care when I was a science major, I don't care even more now that I'm a liberal arts major. But it affects my grade. So a part of me actually cares.

And I forgot what the point of this thing is. Hm. Well, I suppose it would be about how much I hate chem and how much chem hates me. :) It all makes sense this way. I mean, no matter what I do, I still fail it. Therefore, it must REALLY hate me. In turn, I REALLY hate it back. And I am having a nice time ranting. Pointless, but nice. I can feel the stress SLOWLY trickling away. Very slowly. But surely. Sort of.

Now, I'm just sleepy and tired for Iris is not made to wake up at 11 am for a chemistry review session. Iris is made to wake up at 4 pm. It's the normal way, I say.

But then, when did anyone ever listen to me?

On the bright side, I watched Battle Royale I and II yesterday. Very nice. :D It got me happy and made me temporarily forget about chem. -sigh- Too bad good things never last for long.
