FILLER!

So...apparently I need to have ten journal entries for thsi class and so I need to think of something to talk about for some filler. Hmm...so my friend is trying to force me to listen to metal, but...I really don't see ( or hear I guess) the appeal; I guess I just like music where people don't scream in every song!

Fire! fire! fire!

This week in Chemistry, we had a test on nuclear chemistry...I did alrigjht. We also finished Einsteins Big Idea. And lastly we did a fire lab where we placed different chemicals over a bunson burner, the color of the flame would be different for each chemical and so we had to identify which was which.

Einsteins Big Idea....

...is pretty well made for an educational video, the acting is decent ( pretty convincing). The segment on Emilie Du Chatelet and her contributions to E=MC2 was my favorite- she seemed like such an interesting character ( Such shame the way she died). All we really did was watch the movie this week, and did some review for nuclear chemistry ( TEST NEXT WEEK)! I've been really tired lately...need more sleep.

On reaching critical mass

I just BOMBED my test last period and right now I'm feeling very VERY frustrated. Thinking of taking up kick boxing- might be good to vent.This week in chemistry we watched a surprisingly well done movie about Einstein and E=MC2. We did a lab that simulated the half lives of of decaying radioactive material- which we also graphed on google documents. Okay that's all I got right now.
