How to write a Chemistry Midterm:

1. Go in expecting to fail. It's not like you can really memorize 8 chapters. That way, you'll be happy with whatever mark you get.

2. Read over the test carefully. Select questions you know the answers to, and leave them for last so you won't leave the test feeling like a moron.

3. If a question is multiple choice, and one of the answers includes or involves Krypton, choose that one and pray Superman saves you.

4. If you reach a true or false question, always select false. Never EVER trust chemistry.

5. Just remember: when in doubt, make it complicated. If you are confused about a question, the right thing to do is to write down EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. This may not be much, but it'll look complicated and like you did a lot of work. Then your teacher might give you part marks, if you're lucky.

6. Always select the answer with the most complicated sounding name. Teachers love Potassium Hydrogensulphate.

7. If it has OH in it, it's probably a base. I don't know what this means, but that's what people told me.

8. If you have no hope left, finish the test as fast as possible, then loiter around the classroom looking smug. You'll make everyone else feel stupid and nervous, then hope they screw up enough to raise the bell curve.

9. Always tell your friends the test was 'easy' for the same reason as above. Plus you get to have a good laugh at their expense when they go in feeling confident and come out like the fail train hit them.

10. If everything else fails, prepare to do some 'favours' if you catch my drift. I don't do that thing personally, but hey, whatever works for you.

Hope this helps people. Good luck with that.

I hate working! I wanna write chapter 3, finish my map and play some guitar, not study some shit about friction and circular motion and 'what if a monkey falls out of a tree at blah blah etc etc'

Graduation in October?

Well, I do have to admit it was nice seeing all my friends again. It was a little depressing though, considering that I probably won't see some of them ever again. And on the other hand, a little liberating, because I'm finally rid of all of those asshats that made HS a social and psychological ruin for me.

I love my friends so much, and I already miss them. Sigh.

I paid money for that grad shit. No fucking way I'm missing it.

In other news, instant noodles are 50 cents at Keyes. That's my breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few months.
