Sexy Riley!

So, we had an epic spirit week this week. One day we dressed up like we went to BHS, and i wore a BHS tee shirt, and people were like "YOU WOULD" to me. Some people here think I'm a BHS lover because I swim there (thats where my swim team BAC trains).

In the BEST RALLY ever, we had the ACADEMY OF VILLAINS come and dance for us. They're an amazing dance crew, starred America's Best Dance Crew, and they're going to try out for America's Got Talent. They are really talented, made me want to dance, and their music choice is off the charts.

Then, at the rally, one of our seniors, RILEY, did this amazing stunt. It was during the Boys Varsity, and while someone had to do those freethrow shots, he stripped down to his SPEEDO and danced for a while. I <3 MILLS was written all over his body. It was hilarious, and he's definitely a hero. SEXY RILEY SEXY RILEY. We chanted that for a while. Just so you know, I think he distracted the BHS team, cause we ended up winning. MHS FTW!

Chem...
We did more of that Moles X Grams X whatever whatever stuff. Its taking me forever to get it in my head. Chemical equations ick me. We did this failure of a lab, cause the magnesium string didn't burn up and oxidize, so a bad lab. Oh well, not like I would have understood what was going on anyways. A fire is way too mesmerizing.

RILEY's MY HERO..... RILEY's MY HERO.....

GramsXMolesX

We learned a pretty interesting, and i seriously mean interesting, song today. GramsXMolesX MolsYGramsY. Say that in your head over and over again. So, I don't exactly know what it means, but I'm sure it's important!

We just did our CAHSEEs. Pretty epic. It was also like crazy easy. Some questions were silly. You could narrow yourself down to two possible answers and then you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

Back to Chem. We did more on stuff with chemical reactions. We even burned Methane Gas. Pretty epic.

New Unit

Chemistry...

Finally, something I can understand. Chemical Reactions! Really, to me they're easy, and its been a breeze. Finish the pink packet? I'm done within a class period. No Joke.

I got a B+ on that test. Asian Fail? Well, luckily my parents don't look at my grade so often, cause my PreCal grade is going down, down, down, down, down. I got a D on the last test, B in the class right now. I GOTTA GET IT UP. But its so dang hard. Well, the stuff on the test I got wrong, I'm working on getting it right, so for the big test, I'll be ready.

WE WON! WE WON! We got First in our Division at the championships. I didn't do so hot, but I did drop some times. I got my first disqualification too. Bummer, cause my coach says I was swimming legally, just the official didn't see me. That dude couldn't even explain WHY I got disqualified! But hey, next year, we're gonna try and bring down PASA and DACA. Watch out, we're BAC!

Test Week

Oh dear, test week.



So first of all: this packet makes no sense. Fill in the blanks, and equation here, equation there. Did i mention 'c-books'. Yes, i mean Composition Books. Radical name my Chemistry teacher uses. Anyways, this 'c-book' really helps cause I can write down anything I want, so basically, cheat notes? Well, with a million equations to do, it never really hurts. Especially when it comes to things like titration?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING!
NOTHING IS MAKING SENSE.

Well, good news is, the test has been postponed. Meaning - ZONE CHAMPIONSHIPS. I am so ready for this

To the East, to the West.
Burlingame is the Best.
B E A T beat 'em, beat 'em
B U S T bust 'em, bust 'em
Beat 'em, Bust 'em
That's our custom
Come on team
Let's ReAdjust them!
Goooooo BURLINGAME!

- and I mean Burlingame the Swim Team, not the high school. I love Mills!

Solubles

Chemistry....

Solutions, Solutions, Solutions.
Thats basically what we've been doing. Mixing here, mixing there. Lab everywhere. Its a lot. We make some pretty funky colored solutions you know. We're working with acids too ya know. Really confusing. I mean, I'm supposed to know all this stuff about acids and bases and stuff, but I honestly have no idea what is going on. TITRATION? Oh gosh, is someone seriously gonna teach this to me. BY FRIDAY!? Yes, test Friday. We screwed or what.

Well, gotta get to powerpoints and finish almost impossible worksheets, which some are conveniently found online with some answers. 'Using my resources'. Cool or what?

First Week, New Semester

Phew, First half of Sophomore year is done! Kinda scary how old we're getting.

Chem.... like dissolves like? I'm not sure whats going on. Just more chemical stuff and reactions. We're doing stuff with solutions, so we get to mix things and use beakers and the whole lot. It's great.



I can't believe that I have ANOTHER semester of Chemistry. Seriously, I was overjoyed when the first semester ended.

I NEED A BREAK ALREADY.

Toronto was great by the way. GREAT food. Seriously, if you bother to read this, you should all go and eat the wonderful Asian food.
I got back into the pool and I'm good as new. ZONE CHAMPIONS coming up, and my team's aiming for 1st in our division. GO BAC!

Like Dissolves Like

Dissolving is a process where solid or liquid substances form a homogeneous mixture with a solvent, forming a solution.





Like Dissolves Like helps you understand how dissolving works. Solutes, the thing being dissolved, will dissolve best when it is dissolved with a solvent that has similar polarity. It is a basic rule that applies to all solutions.




Boring blog, I know, but its my classwork. A+ worthy? What a way to start off 2010
