And such.

Excuses excuses AP testing Facebook excuses blah finals blah.

That about sums it up for the past month!

I'm supposed to be studying for my English final tomorrow morning and/or getting started on my gigantic chem lab writeup, not talking to random friends-of-friends-who-became-my-new-best-friend-within-twenty-minutes on the newly discovered Facebook or writing a blog post.

Causal analysis. Key characteristics. Right.

All this studying makes me want to watch Moulin Rouge again. Yes, I do have justification - that's what we watched in our "studying film as literature" unit (along with Twelve Angry Men, which I surprisingly enjoyed), and since I have to study names of shots and camera angles and such, I think I should see some real-life examples, amirite?

Yes. Of course I am.

I'm also thinking of getting a tumblr. You know, for all the random, depressing thoughts I get when I'm up at 12:45 AM trying to finish chem or just wasting time staring at a blank Firefox window.

But I'm enough of a narcissist already, so maybe I won't.

(On an unrelated note, I just got a Facebook two weeks ago and oh my goodness you guys it is so cool. I've been missing out, apparently, although honestly, I think I only would've benefited if I'd made mine a few months earlier. Anytime before that, I would've just been sad and boring.)

I am a list person.

So I decided to make a list of thirty awkward moments - not necessarily the MOST awkward moments. Just thirty different awkward moments. That's all.

...yeah, I don't know why, either. ANYWAY.

***

1. When everyone else is dancing and you're the only person standing there awkwardly because you can't dance without resembling a chicken with its head cut off.

2. When you yell something really, really suggestive right as a teacher walks by.

3. When you're sitting on the ground and a person comes and stands in front of you and goes "Uh... you're kinda... blocking my locker."

4. Especially when you used to be friends with the person, but have since stopped talking to them. Voluntarily.


5. When you're shouting about something ridiculous and flapping your arms like a head case, and then you turn around and a random person is staring at you like you're insane.

6. When you tell your friends a story that you think is hilarious, and they just stare blankly.

...

Not that any of those have happened to me or anything.

***

7. When you're sitting in the back of the classroom and you drop something and it makes a loud noise, and every single person in the room turns around and stares at you.

8. When you want to give someone something you don't want to parade around the entire world, but then someone else walks over and stands right next to you. And stays there.

9. Randomly swearing loudly in the middle of chem lab when you realize you forgot something important.

Heh.

When I published that last post, there was a little ad that said "Add Reactions to the bottom of your post!" and explained what "Reactions" were.

...

I'm suddenly tempted to change mine to "acid-base," "redox," and "precipitation."

Shut up, I'm a chem nerd. I find this kind of thing funny.

I will survive, I will surviiiiive

YES. I HAVE DONE IT.

I HAVE TAKEN THE AP CHEMISTRY TEST... AND SURVIVED.

How did I do it?

I have no clue.

...

Just kidding. It was probably a combination of practice tests, AP books (the Princeton Review one is great, if anyone was wondering), randomly timed panic sessions (including one that occurred in the middle of watching Water for Elephants... yeah, that was interesting), and not passing out from hyperventilation two minutes before the test started. Plus some other stuff, like staying awake in class all year.

All my brain juice has been used up for the day, so I'll post more later.

On the bright side, if anyone needs AP Chem help, I have achieved official stud status.
