Friday 10/18

Well last friday was the end of a short week (thankfully). I have completed my Common Application essay finally, the Hamlet essay in Comer's, the derivative chapter in calculus, and have started Unit 3 in this class- gas laws (dun dun dun). Personally, Gas Laws aren't my favorite. But we will quickly go through this chapter like all the rest so I suppose I'll survive.

I've learned about gas laws obviously. I also learned that I'm a bigger nerd than I thought in my AP English class; I was crowned (with a paper crown) and was asked to read my analysis on a poem. Yes it is a big accomplishment OK. As always, I'm learning how important time management really is, especially senior year.

I plan on finishing Unit 3 as fast as possible and moving on to the next exciting concept in the AP chemistry world. I also plan to start a new book in honors English, begin another essay in AP English, and finish chapter 5 in calculus. I'm also planning on filling in details of the MHS LCHS parade and spirit week in student gov, learning a routine for the assembly, and also finishing touches to the bonfire plans. Oh and can't forget the parliamentary training for the newlings of NHS tomorrow and Tuesday! I guess you could say I'm a little bust this time of year...

The Q's

Completion check list for the week: Determining actual percentage of H2O2 in a drugstore bottle of hydrogen peroxide lab, unit 2, more quizzes, more homework, prep for the test tomorrow, the usual.


Last week was definitely one of the most chaotic of the year (homecoming). Despite the craziness with cheer and SGA, I managed to learn a thing or two about redox reactions. Basically redox reactions include oxidation and reduction- a change in oxidation numbers. I also learned that patience does come a long way when it comes to learning new things (working on it).

Most importantly I plan on not failing the test on unit 2 tomorrow. I also plan on decorating the school for pink week bright and early tomorrow morning. This is a short week with fall break around the corner, but my teachers really don't care. I am writing my Hamlet essay, AP English essays, calculus test, finishing college applications, and of course continuation in chemistry and moving on to unit 3 this week.
