Chemistry

Chemistry is kicking my butt this year. I hate it, I hate it so much. In combination, the hard work and the detail-obsessed teacher is causing my mark to plummet. Oh, God I’m so stupid. I should be able to understand this stuff. It’s just a complex version of the same formula we learned in eighth grade. And I remember hating it then too, but I should know how to do this. It’s the application. Every question is different and I can’t apply this formula because I’m stupid.

Lab reports. I used to ace those things. And now I’m getting marks taken off for not including a certain phrase, or for not averaging a constant number, or for not specifying which scale I used.

And if we can cross-multiply to find out an answer, we’re not allowed. We have to do it her way. Because her way is law, even if it’s different from every other teacher and even though it makes things so much more complicated.

I think I failed today’s test. I think I don’t care anymore.
