Titrations and Terminations
From day one of school, I start counting down the days until it’s actually over. Now, as the train of school horror chugs to its final stop, I’m not so happy about it ending.
Oh sure, there are plenty of reasons why I’m actually HAPPY it’s ending, for instance: 1) I’m so sick of homework that I could just…. I don’t know. 
2) I would rather not wake up at 6:00 in the morning anymore. 3) No. More. Test. Taking. (need I say any more?) 4) I love the feeling of having nothing to do. And that’s something that has evaded me for the past 10 months. and 5) Maybe I can actually spend some alone time now? 
But then, there are always the reasons why I DON’T want school to end. 1) I’m going to miss my friends. That’s always the biggest bummer of them all. Especially those that are MOVING!! *cough cough* (But maybe, now that I have my license, I can actually go to a friend’s house when I feel like it… hmm….) 2) I hope that when I’m not at school, that I don’t lose everything that I’ve learned. That could be potentially bad. 3) I’m going to miss having an actual schedule.
So okay… maybe I should stop talking? Because I just said I’ll miss not having every second of my life planned out, but that I’m also excited to feel like I have nothing to do…I think I should just stop contradicting myself and get on with my life…. yeah…. sounds like a good plan…
Anyway, so school is ending and it is sad. And school is ending and I am glad…….*sigh* I’m so hypocritical….
But, I do have some happy news!!! I GOT 100% ON MY CHEMISTRY FINAL!!! It was this nasty experiment called a titration that I’d been stressing over for the past couple of weeks. And when I was doing the actual experiment, I wasn’t sure if I was getting the proper amount of base into the mixture, so you can imagine my issues. (And if you can’t? Just picture a girl with chemistry goggles on, red hot in the face trying to pour liquid into a stupid class tube with steam coming out of her ears… yeah, you get the gist) And then… when I was doing the math, I was having issues remembering what the equation was. Let’s just say, I turned in my scribbled on paper that was covered in NaOH and phenolphthalein with reluctance. And also knowing that I had to be within .001 of the answer was just adding on a bit of stress.
Later, I found Mr. Bastian in class and asked him if I passed. He just looked at me and said, “I hope so.” Well THANKS, Bastian. That’s all I needed to know. I just looked at him and said, “You’re a BIG help!”
Anyway, so I came home and checked my grades on the internet and LO AND BEHOLD!……. 200/200 points.
Wa…… hoo……
Look, I’m so excited, that I’m not even showing it. And that’s the truth… that’s how I am about things that are REALLY exciting. Like going to Disneyland, or Christmas time, or going on a date or something.
