Catapolism

Oh hey I've written enough for Monday to be it's own post. I guess I'll publish it.


Monday
Last week I forgot to take my calculator, this week I forgot to put my pencil case in my bag so I was pen-less and calculator-less for the day. I swear Monday doesn't want me doing work, even though I get to campus over an hour early because first class starts at 12:00 and I rather spend my mornings getting some work done. Luckily Elena lent me a calculator and pen. I spent the hour doing maths in the library. People sat next to me were annoying. Annoying because they wouldn't stop talking and their vocabulary was rubbish. I enjoyed how they were annoyed by another talking group. At least those guys were talking about school work.


Chemistry lecture was good. Learnt about a new atomic model known as the Valance Bond Theory. I'm still sketchy but I'll get it eventually. I'm sure the worksheets require me to use it anyway.


In BABS we talked about metabolism. In that lecture they talked about ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) Which they happen to explain now, despite me seeing it used constantly in the previous lectures with it being defined. The lecturer wanted a volunteer to use ATP, which I volunteered for. For ten seconds I lifted up and down two Biology textbooks (which of course were massive) as fast as I could for ten seconds. Then she asked how much ATP I used up. People made guesses but I think my answer was the 'best' (hint: What does the scouter say?). The actual answer was 100 million. Feeling scammed of using my ATP she reimbursed me with chocolate.


Chem lab was good. Last week I didn't get my titration experiment marked off. Now I did and turns out I got a pretty accurate result, I was off by 0.002. Not bad I must say. The lab was on intermolecular forces. Luckily you can't really mess this up. Even the vapour pressure was done by computer simulation. It was good that I went through the lab sheet and went over the theory, which meant I got through it a whole lot faster, minimal questions asked. Also I'm starting to make friends with the people on my table. Which is good cause now we can compare results! Not the guy on my right though. I've already labelled him as a slacker and I don't really want anything to do with him.


I also should note that throughout the day, I had a cold. Like I had a runny nose non-stop through the day. I'm glad that campus has a shop for pocket tissues. During lab was the worst I could not go two minutes without having to blow my nose.


I wonder if the guys at Crossover have this much "fun"
P.S. Contains language
