The Rxn of Solid Lara and an Undetermined Amount of Scholastic Compounds
The past month has been crazy, and the best part is it's not over yet. Trying to get things done but still have some form of social life is incredibly hard. My social life the past few weeks has been almost non-existent, which is fine, but friends end up thinking that you're mad at them.
Last Wednesday (the 17th) I didn't have any WRHS so I ran around a bunch at JCOS getting transcript stuff taken care of and so on. Thursday I had a JCOS Graduates meeting at 8:45 which is between my AP Chemistry and Physics 2 classes so my mom drove me back and forth (I love my mother biggrin ). But that's the end of last week's excitement.
This week: on Monday I had to hand my transcripts to our JCOS principal so that she could do a "last" proof read and gave them back to me with about 8 corrections. Well I also had a Pre-calc test at 1 o'clock but was late because I was working on my personal statement. I rushed through it probably getting a few problems wrong, but I didn't care at that point in time.
Tuesday I didn't stop moving all day until at about 11 pm I fell asleep on my text book while trying to read the 40-page chapter 7 and take notes that were due the following morning.
I go into Chemistry on Wednesday and tell my teacher this and why I couldn't do it the past week and she says to me "Well, it won't hurt your grade in the long run," and I handed in what I had. I also, in Chemistry, had a proficiency test on which I directly hit the 80% mark, managing not to break my passing streak on the proficiency tests. I also had a Physics 2 test later in the day which ended up getting pushed to the last half-hour of class making it flow-over into Friday, fortunately for me. I also finished my personal statement at about 4:10 pm and thought that our principal had left only to get very lucky and find her putting up signs around the school. This final personal statement gave me hours and hours of trouble and I went through three different structures before finding the right one.
Thursday I got a medal and certificate from WRHS for having a 3.9 GPA last year, plus a free breakfast. After my Biology 2 class I got a ride from my mom (I love my mother) over to JCOS where I was running in and out of the main office trying to make sure I had all of my ducks in line for my 2 o'clock transcript stamping. The only time that I stopped was when I got lunch with a friend that owed me money. After my transcripts were signed I ran around trying to find my triad members who had missed it. Then my mom and I went to pick up my brother and his girlfriend from the bus stop. That evening I studied for another Chemistry test and the rest of my Physics 2 test.
Friday morning I did the Chemistry and finished about fifteen minutes before anyone else did. It wasn't until fourth period that I learned that there had been two papers for the free response section of the test. We had had a substitute teacher, the two papers were not stapled, and there was no note. I was pissed, to say the least. I emailed the teacher Friday afternoon and have still not heard back. So, in Physics I finished the test and knew the math much better and probably still didn't do as well but I probably at least got a B. That afternoon at JCOS I continued to work on my transcripts which I intend to send out on Monday as long as teachers finish the letters of recommendation I talked to them on Thursday about.
Peripheral Observation:
My friends call me crazy on a regular basis and I occasionally agree with them. In this case I would rather call myself simply determined.
Conclusions:
This reaction is very internally violent and should be performed in a fume hood when possible. If a fume hood is unavailable then it should be observed from afar
