What's it called again?

Just bombed...NUKED my final essay in As History- decided to beg my Counseler to let me go into CP next semester. Also want to transfer from ceramics (Nepote's grading is just too difficult) to Choir...or is it Chorus? My "good" friend is being the worlds biggest A-hole right now and he says that I'M the one being annoying. Storm clouds are looming...both literal and metaphorically! Uhh...our teacher did another song about Moles (6.02x10-23) and repeatedly showed us the unit song...it was...loud.

Ground Control to Major Tom.

Today is my brother's birthday, and he got a dj hero video game and karaoke revolution. We're currently all playing the latter. So far I got the best score- 100% on David Bowie's "Space Oddity" ( which I love btw). I also failed my Molecule test yesterday- so I gotta do something about that.
Edit: I retook the molecule test- I think I did bad again.

Conflicting Ideas

We're doing a collaborative story in english- a detective story. I wrote the begginning, another guy edited and wrote the middle, and I did the end (also editing their parts). I didn't agree with a lot of their editations, and in the end I took creative control. They called my ending sappy, which I strongly disagree, just because I wrote strong emotions into the story doesn't make it sappy!

Something wicked this way comes

I'm currently reading Wicked right now and all I can say is that once you read it you can never look at the characters of Oz the same way again. I'm also going to be seeing the play as my christmas present.

Right now...

My musical taste is in flux- I'm not sure what I like right now- I keep listening to things from multiple genres-I guess I wouldn't call it in flux as much my musical taste is expanding...I've really been liking songs with heavy emphasis on vocals.

It's been awhile...

Since I've updated this blog, I haven't been keeping up in Chemistry as best as I could- obviously my grades reflect this...so the next few blogs will mostly be filler. This blog should have been done around November 12th but I can't really remember much about that week...so...that's all I got!

What can I say about this week...

other than it totally SUCKED! Half the school has swine flu. My grades are terrible, and the homework keeps piling on. I have no direction in life ( my history teacher pretty much convinced me that life is pointless). I'm supposed to be the future president of Mill's Gay-Straight Alliance, BUT no one else really seems to care about the club AND it looks like I'll only have two or three members next year. Hi This is nate, Isaaks best friend. DOnt worry everybody. Imma get him some candy and all will be goooooooood. So cheer up emo boy. Life will get better.....
Isaak again, I guess I'll go to the school play tonight, it seems interesting.

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.

What happened this week?

This week felt oddly short for some, feel's like I didn't do much. Hmm, I don't seem to remember doing much at all for chem this week. Mostly review for the upcoming test. It is the end of the grading period though! We just did our retakes for the quiz I did horrible on...I'm sure I did much better this time. We also got to play with dry ice, which was pretty cool ( I got to take a piece with me and it took about two hours to completely disolve). Other than that though there's not much else that went on.

Busy week...

Ugh, I'm going to have a TON of homework this weekend. Speaking of homework, we were given an element ( I got Selenium) and had to make a webpage with information on it. We also did some lab worksheets concerning elements.

Uh...uh oh.

I forgot to do my blog for last week so let me try to remember what we did...I'm a bit tired right now so I'm having trouble remember. I found out that I can raise my grade (after getting an F on that last test) so I was (and still am) studying for the retake.

F is for...Failure!

So...I have an F in chemistry... on the third ( is it third?) week, my very first F ever. It's such a horrible little letter. At least I can retake the test that gave me that grade...Anyways, what did we do this week? We did a few labs concerning the periodic table of elements and sang a song about how to write down units when doing scientific equations...it was a short week so that's pretty much it.

iPhone...I MEAN CHEMISTRY!

Again, sitting in the computer lab, the teacher telling us the blog about what we've been doing...kinda hard to concentrate right now though as my brand new iPhone that I just got yesterday (for my birthday) isn't working at the moment. Oh, so back to Chemistry class... well we've been talking about Matter and what we define as matter...anything that takes up space, has mass and density, and isn't abstract like ideas or emotions. We also did two labs this week. One is where we had to decide whether certain substances were metals or nonmetals and another where we has to guess the weight of objects then weighing said object to see how close/off we are.

Goals, Alchemy, and Do I Have the Passion of 1000 Burning Suns!? ( No...no I don't)

Well, this blog supposed to be for school and right now I'm in a computer lab and my teacher is telling my to write about my goals and passions so here I go.What are my goals...well I guess my main goal right now is to figure out what I want to do for a living. Graduating from high school (with decent grades) of course is definitely a priority. Some smaller goals would be to get my drivers license (if I could just finish my online drivers ed) and to get a job at the local Barnes and Nobles. For the future, what I REALLY want is to move to London. There's little I'm passionate about, actually, I don't really know if there's really anything I'm truly passionate about. I do love art, movies, reading, and listening to music. I don't really know if I'm passionate about those things. I mean at one point I wanted to be an artist or a writer but I don't believe I have the talent for either. I definitely can't sing and lack the ability to play an instrument. So what am I passionate about? I have no clue.
Lastly, a few days ago our teacher told us we would be doing Alchemy. My first though: " Haha sounds awesome". Obviously it wasn't Alchemy but it was still pretty cool. It was also pretty simple, all we had to do was put a penny in a warm dish of Zinc and let it sit for awhile. We then put the now silvered penny over the flame of a bunson burner: it a few seconds the penny became a golden color. Not exactly alchemy but still a neat little trick.
