Who’s gonna care?

Such a great idea this whole project was, eh? Start a blog and talk about something educational that you would be interested to study in college? I truly doubt anyone reading this is really going to want to know about how the mouse you are holding was created thanks to a scientist who researched polymer chemicals and its properties or that the metal wires in your headphones were researched to maximize the effeciency to provide you with the best sound your ears could ever overdose on. No, but of course I’m going to have to do this. Nearly 3 weeks left of this god forsaken place that we can nearly call a home (some would call it a prison) that has been labeled with a word; prison, thy name is school.  So hip-hip-hooray! Chemistry! For most teenagers in high school, chemistry was not one of their particularly favorite subjects in school. Great to know I picked such a great topic to blog about (Truly, the word blog has lost its originality to me now. From here on, I will never want to blog on my free time ever again. The word disgusts me now.) . Oh yes, this will definitely be popular. Just about as popular as the sight and smell of moldy cheese being fed at a high class ball. Oh yes, it will be popular!

But chemistry? Why? It is too late to change it to something with more meaningful and relateable to the rest of you (Most of you being my fellow inmates. Forget regular classes, AP felt like i was on death row. Solitary, please?). Chemistry with Couto, well yes, that, bluntely said, sucked. Chemistry, the very subject, was amazing. Most of you will remember the soap project. How cool was that? Or how about the magnesium oxide lab where we burned the metal and it flashed bright white like if it was the fourth of July and you had just lit off one of those lame screamers that flashed bright on the street? Or how about the titration experiment where you had to mix the HCl acid with NaOH and get the two to just be a slight tint of pink? The best part was, for most of us, we actually understood how and WHY it happened? Any toddler can mix chemicals and create soap, but how many of them understand the process down to the molecular level? It was then that i fell in love with the subject and the idea of exploring every possibility for a career and chances to obtain true greatness imagineable.

Read this if you want. Read what I have to say about Chemistry or don’t. I could care less. You are blogging about something that you love (perhaps) as I am, but you are doing it and being graded. Truthfully you know you don’t want to be doing this either. I’m on the same plane as you. Whats worse, our teachers took the only parachutes we could have used away from us. It would be an ideal time to learn to fly, eh?
