"Circling your head contemplating everything"

Umm...duh dum da dum....

Hi.

I can't think really well right now. I think I am catching a small cold. Or my allergies are bothering me once more. Or it could be the lack of sleep.

Arrg...think.

Ok. I got a 74 on my Physics test. Pretty bad, at least for what I consider to be bad. Physics is just like this subject I can't grasp.

Embarrassing yourself in front of your entire AP Chemistry class is lovely. See, in order to remember whether or not oxidation is lose or gain electrons, and the same for reduction, there is an acronym.

One that I never got during Honors Chemistry last year. Mostly because I was absent the day that the class learned and I thought all the students saying "Leo goes grr," were nuts.

I got the Leo part, lose electrons oxidation, but I could not see how grr fit with reduction, where you gain electrons. So low and behold, when the teacher rights that exact acronym up on the board she spells grr as "ger." Finally, everything clicks. I proceed to tell the class about my startling discovery. They laugh, I blush, the world is normal.

I have a new appreciation for fires as something more than just to stare at in wonder.

Okey dokey. I think I'm gonna go to bed now. So I can finish my mound of homework tomorrow.
