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.

Time DOES Go By Fast

Today was my class registration time for next semester. Actually, it was supposed to be yesterday but some idiotic people decided to change mine (along with other people like me) to today. That also means that I had to change some of my classes and class times around so now since so many classes were closed/full by today... I have:

1. Introduction to Medical and Scientific Terminology
2. Introductory Biology II
3. Introduction to Archaeological Studied: Prehistorical Archaeology
4. Physical Anthropology
5. The Natural Environment (Geography)
   

You know what really reeks though? My days on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays start at eight in the frickin' morning! I can barely wake up for my 9 am classes this semester and I usually am late anyways. How in the world am I going to pull that off? On the plus side, my Tuesdays will start at 12, instead of at 9 like this semester and Thursdays start at 2, like this semester. Hm... and I have a three-hour break between my eight o'clock classes and my next class on M/W/F which I self-designate my nap time. haha...

Even with those sucky times, I am still excited for next semester to come on by.

It's weird how it seems as if the time goes by so slow but at the end of the week, it's like you barely notice any of it. I only have under a month of school left until finals come around, I'm currently failing chemistry, and I've failed every calculus test I've taken so far though my homework assignments are all right. I mean, I know I'm not a stereotypical Asian but seriously. This taking it a bit too far, yeah?

I just remember the days where I don't study and I do well (actually that did happen for my bio test this semester... but it only went up a couple of points!). I mean, I did do well enough to automatically get here! :)

Humph. I guess we'll see. Good thing the chem professor has a deal with us. If you're failing the class, whatever grade you make on the final, you make for the semester. I am leaning on that. Totally.
