Case of the Mondays...
Been doing a lot of thinking lately. Hasn't been too positive. Wasn't looking forward to anything this week had to offer, especially Monday. But hey, I got through it. However, it's just been one of those days where I wish I stayed in bed.
I don't know what set me off first (or how the pressure was fed....ah! Linkin Park moment, sorry!). Maybe it was the double bio lecture which tremendously sucked. Maybe it was a total of two hours with Dr. C. helping me figure out how to do the calculations to my impossible chem lab. Yeah, I don't see WHY chem labs that can't even be completed by our professors were given to us. If anything else, it's been both the entertainment and destruction of my day. For instance, when I went to show Dr. C. the "help" Dr. Gentry emailed the class for solving The Nernst Equations in our lab (something we did not learn), I think I wanted to die with laughter and frustration at the same time. I opened up my mailbox and there was a new email from Gentry. A second "help" email (which just tells you right there how helpful the first "help" email was). In a stroke of genius, Gentry figured we'd better understand what we were doing if he likened the Nernst Equation to making cheese sandwiches. Yes, that's right. Cheese sandwiches:
Class, I'm sorry for inundating you with stuff on the Nernst lab, but I thought I might give you a practical example of what you have to calculate for Parts B & C
A practical example would be nice!
Problem: you want to know the equilibrium constant for cheese sandwiches... Excuse me?
Really Gentry? Really? You sure this is practical? So he goes through this whole email explaining how to make cheese sandwiches. Then we get to the end:
Turn these # of incredients into concentrations by dividing by volume of sol'n (I don't know how to do this with my sandwich example) and then plug into the K equation.
Don't know how to do this with your sandwich example? Funny, because that was the part none of us understood. Therefore, your example was as pointless as it was idiotic. Thank you for wasting my time once again Gentry... Here's your cheese sandwich, now may I have Dr. Grourke back, please?
Speaking of which, I really should try to figure out that lab. It's due tomorrow. More like the entire class's massive failure of this lab is due tomorrow. That should be a hoot. So I guess I'll stop procrastinating and get right down to what's really on my mind (cue vagueness):
Ever have the feeling that you're not needed? Like no matter how much you care, you're just not important? Like if you disappeared, no one would really notice? I know, I know, I'm pulling an Addison Shepard here. But really. That feeling like you're trying too hard and you shouldn't have to, but you knew that if you backed off then you wouldn't like the outcome. I hate these stupid lose-lose situations. If you knew you wouldn't like the truth of a situation, would you run from it or face it? Then again, we can never really know the truth if by knowing me mean guessing. I guess everything will reveal itself in due time. It's up to me to take the fall. If I'm caught, I'm caught. If not, well...that's what bottomless pits are for.
