I spent a half hour in Chem Lab today, yawning away, as I shook a stoppered conical flask filled with diluted lime solution. Chemistry used to be so interesting, with colourful salts, exploding reactions, and subtle frothing and boiling solutions. Salt analysis was a load of fun. Funner by far was mixing every substance you got your hands on to see what colour it would turn. Titration is a pain in the ass. Being that careful with anything at all isn't fun. What definitely isn't fun is swirling around lime solution diluted with hot water for 30 whole minutes while you waited for it to dissolve completely.
I got my cycle repaired, finally. Had to wheel it all the way to college in the afternoon heat. It gets really hot here in afternoon and pretty cold at night, which is weird because we're close to the sea. Heat never affects me much, though. Plus, now I got my cycle back and can wake up 5 whole minutes later than I used to.
I have just realised that I spend a huge load of time cribbing in general, and being sloth-like specifically. I keep thinking about food and sleep and all those seemingly important things all the time that I hardly have the time for much else. Ofcourse the rest of the time when I'm contemplating the universe and thinking about other complexities,I astound myself with my own brilliance. :)
College cultural fest just got over. It was not as freaking-awesome as I'd thought it'd be. Mainly because most of Battle Of The Bands bands murdered all the songs they played. It's torture, listening to a Stairway To Heaven solo which suddenly sounds oddly like hold music. Plus no famous band performed this time, because the powers that be, in one of their random sadistic moods, decided not to have one.
I have a French exam in two weeks. Must pass it to get my French level 1 certificate-thingy. The written part has got more marks than the oral stuff so I'm hoping I'll sneak through. My French pronunciation is not something I'm proud of. Words are never, ever, pronounced the way they are written.
I'm actually very satisfied and quietly happy now, in a very sloth-like way. It's fun.

i loved chemistry when i studied it, the little explosions best. i even miss it at times. if only you didn't have to memorise formulae. i quite liked mixing everything on the rack and then screwing my eyes shut in case it destroyed the world or something.
and written french is always easier, you'll pass all right =)
i used to love chemistry too!
i have a spanish test on wednesday....and its so bad! im dreading the orals...but written tests are not too bad lol
im happy that you are happy in a sloth like manner...P
its awesome how we think so similar.....either about food and sleep or making ourselves feel brilliant by thinking about complexities lol
way to go!
"making ourselves feel brilliant by thinking about complexities"
Hmmph... Crude and unflattering way of putting it, but yes, that is what we do.
Self Delusion is fun too.
:P
Chemistry used to be fun, yes, when you could take a red hot test tube under the water and break it. Or steal sodium and throw it into the water tank in school.
The cultural fest sucked. No arguments about it!
