Polarity and The Past Week

Oh blah, just got my internet back.
OH BLAH I DIDN'T DO MY LOGS although I really should. but I'm too lazy and feel like a rebel right muhahaa plus I am just turning in my essay that was due weeks ago. Well, I WANNA DO PE SO BADLY but being the ridiculous arse that I am, I cannot and I look like a 'tard sitting there and now I walk like both legs are injured? but they're not! ohwtf FML IDK what to doooo wahaaha ):

SO IN CHEMISTRY, we talked about polar bears and penguins (aka the positive and negative poles). We conducted a lab in which we used a charged wand to see if the stream of a molecule, such as water, would be deflected to the pole. If they were, it indicted a polar charged molecule. Water is an extremely polar molecule so it was really attracted to the pole. We also tested kerosene (isn't that a lighter fluid?) and it was a nice blue color. Not a visibly polar molecule though.

Stalking People

These past two days were pretty good. :D Had Thanksgiving with the family in San Francisco...beautiful Spanish and 60's songs were played and tons of turkey was eaten. I even had a glass of champagne, but I don't care for wine too much haha. Didn't go Black Friday shopping because I had drama practice in the morning. I did go with Tiffany to Tanforan later in the day, though, but the lines were still HUGE! Musta been some good sales to stand in line for an hour or two, yea? And my foot/toes are still swollen and bruised but whatever, I'm still walking. Later on in the day, I stalked two seventh graders today via Facebook. 1) My fake cousin's boyfriend (which she's had since May and I did not know about!) They're both seventh graders except he repeated first grade (in Korea?) so he's probably going to be 14 soon. I looked at his profile. He seems WEIRD. 2) My boyfriend's sister, LOL. She's nice, I guess, and I'm getting to know her better. Haha, I love this girl.

Chemistry-wise...
I believe we have a test soon. Luckily, Lewis Dot structures are pretty simple once you understand them. Molecules also come in certain geometrical shapes. There's the linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramid, and tetrahedron. They are formed when electrons try to maximize their distance from each other.

Molecular Geometry
^ Ahh, how useful to review off of.
Chemistry Resources
^ MUST STUDY FOR THIS TEST!
Gotta keep my good grade.
gogogogo.

Smells Lab

...and molecule webpage.
I chose the molecule Urea.
I am now wary of beauty products that use urea in their ingredients.

I somehow injured my foot...and was forced to run the mile and now it really hurts so I am wearing some compression thing on it. Yet I still walk slow. I could walk fast, I guess, but the pain hurts a lot. Whatever. I'll keep walking it out.

On Tuesday, we conducted the Smells Lab. My group was totally off in the classification of the smells. But seriously, none of the smells was "fishy", and the substance that smelled like sharpies was classified as "sweet". None of the substances were particularily "putrid-smelling" except the butyric acid, which smelled like poop. The scent was so strong and rancid that our chemistry teacher had to bring the substance outside to test. x_X;;

You Light Up My Life

Recently, we have been working with the electromagnetic spectrum. We did an experiment in class with the spectrometer. We then graphed the data. I'm glad we did a pie chart of all the colors of the visible spectrum, which is RADIOWAVES, MICROWAVES, INFRARED, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET, ULTRAVIOLET, X-RAYS, GAMMA RAYS... We also learned how to name type I and type II binary ionic compounds, such as Iron (II) Fluoride which FeF2.

On Tuesday, we conducted a lab to see which compounds would conduct and which would not. The substances that conducted electricity were metals, and were bonded ionic-ly. Substances with covalent bonds did not conduct electricity, specifically wax and sugar. We also tested to see if the substances would dissolve in water. Most of my predictions were correct, but not perfect.

Emily has visited 7th period. I plan to visit her in first period one day. :D

M0L3D4Y! (blogpostoneone)

Today is a great day. Today is an excellent day. TODAY IS...MOLE DAY! AKA 6.02 x 10^23 (the number of atoms in a 12 gram sample of Carbon - 12). We should have had a party in chemistry to celebrate this great achievement by Amedeo Avagadro.

But that's not what I'm supposed to discuss. Instead, I shall talk about the flame test. I could be considered a pyromaniac because I like fire. My favorite was the burning of strontium. I loved the rosy, red color of the element. Copper also burned a gorgeous sea green color that reminded me of mermaids. I find it very interesting how different elements emit certain photons and colors of light.

On a lighter note, today was the homecoming rally. It was enjoyable! :D

Hello.

This past week has been quite chaotic. I really do not feeling like talking about it in detail, so let's sum it up by saying I missed a block day of chemistry. While I did not actually do the lab, I received the data from Marcia and my usual lab partners and graphed that information. What else did I miss?...the stamping of my 19.2 notes. I must get that done. Apparently, I missed a video about Einstein. Dangit, I wanted to watch that. If it was like the video on Lavoisier, it would be really interesting. I like history. Of course, I like chemistry as well...
Argh, I'm too depressed right now to talk. Sugar crash.

Although, I just came back from the PTO dinner. It was great. Tons of international food and I loved Ms Lighty's dance class. I would very much like to join that class next year. However, I only want to take six periods and I am still in need of an elective. How does journalism sound? Or perhaps photography. Child development? Nutrition? Ahh, good thing junior year is still more than a semester and a half away. And summer too...

Well, I don't want to bore anyone with this post. Au revoir.

I am in Japanese class...

...and I am blogging about chemistry. LOL, it's not my fault that we already finished our script. Krystina and I decided to go all-out loser/nerd/psychopath, and wear costumes to school today (we had to, youth meeting after school and they wanted us to dress up). Although, Lisa stole my dark fairy wings for second through fifth period...I get to wear them during sixth and seventh (heck yeah!). Plus, my insane "antenna" headband. O_O Krystina is wearing a suit, complete with a top hat. xD And she's too far away to hear me laughing about how insane she looks.

そうですか。今日はあついです。

Time to stop being w@p. <- that's a whole other blog post, but I won't bore about this and instead talk about chemistry. We are currently learning about radioactivity. I don't quite understand. I just know the terms, such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma ray production. Perhaps I should study on this subject more.

Although I did good on the last test. Quite surprising, considering I was not certain of the answers for a good number of them. I am proud in myself. Too bad A+'s still count as 4.0 on your GPA. T_T -just learned that fact today- Oy..
