Vannielou, I cannot express my immense disappointment in you.

(Just kidding! Good job!)

Yeah! Tomorrow, we're going to have our first lab with CHEMICALS. Whoopee!

Chemicals are fun. Don't eat any.

Well, I got my calc takehome back today, and I have an 85! WHOOO!

Our teacher periodically gives us speed drills on multiplication to see who could get them all done the fastest with no mistakes. I came in second after my older brother! (Don't ask how my older brother ended up in algebra II with me. It's a loooong story.)

Oh, and I got another excellent report on another of my paragraphs for english class!!! My mom and my teacher both want me to try for a scholarship now. Talk about pressure...

CHEMICALS.
ARE.
FUN.
Especially when you drop the test tube and all the hydrocholric acid spills everywhere whilst your classmates scream and run out of the way to avoid touching the acid.
We got to play with raw liver too.

suh-weet:P

You've got to tell us more about the raw liver. :D

Well, it was squishy. And cold. And it smelled bad. Really bad.

Did you use hydrogen peroxide on it? that's fun, it goes all bubbly ebcuase of teh catylase...

Hydrochloric acid, fun...

Oh yeah, that's what the lab was about--seeing the results of putting hydrogen peroxide on raw liver. Nice 'n foamy, nice 'n foamy.

No, no, NO! This is so wrong! Liver should never be treated with hydrogen peroxide! It should be gently sauteed in a small amount of butter and olive oil until just tender, served with lightly crisped bacon and golden onions, along with herbed mushrooms and... wait a minute... sorry, I thought this was the food thread. Never mind.
