For reasons unknown to me, which I KNOW must be a God-orchestrated thing, I am a Bachelor of Science.

I royally suck at sciences.

But, thankfully, I am in my last science class ever! *cue thunderous applause* The bad news? Its chemistry. In high school chemistry, I was at school early every day (around 7 or 730) to go to early morning tutorials in that subject. And I still only scraped a C.

I think the main problem with that class was the teacher always used food as an example of how to explain things. For someone as food-minded as I am, this was not a good technique. Each time we talked about moles (didn’t get them then, still don’t get them now… apparently they’re some type of chemistry-related-measurement-thing) she would begin by saying “Pretend I’m making blueberry muffins… now I’ll put 6 moles of flour–” I never heard what she said past that:

“Mmmm… muffins…. those sound so good right now… I love blueberry muffins too. Probably my favorite kind. . . Wait. Did she just say she puts MOLES in her muffins??? What kind of person puts MOLES in their muffins????!!! Flour, yes. Egg, yes. A little sugar, yes. A small, underground-tunneling rodent, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS LADY?! Sicko. . . You know, I’ve never seen a mole in the wild. I wonder if they look like the moles in cartoons…” 

Around then, I would come back to reality just in time to hear my teacher say, “And that’s how you get your answer. Understand?”

Um. Nope.

The same holds true now. With some slight differences. For one, we have not yet covered moles. But I’m sure they will be quite nostalgic.

My new issue in chemistry class, while I’m sitting there in total confusion, is that the teacher is literally sounding more and more like the teacher from Charlie Brown. “Mwah mah mah nah nah wah wah…”

I wish I were exaggerating.

I have to physically shake myself to clear the Charlie Brown teacher from my head, and force myself to focus all over again. Its a very delicate process involving enormous self-control and caffeine.

This is gonna be a fun class this semester, I can tell.
