Not even remotely on topic, but hey: That’s what Oppositelock was created for in the first place.

I just wrote my grade 12 Chemistry final exam, a course I only realized I didn’t need until after it was too late to change out of it. It’s over now, praise be, and I am super pumped. Chemistry just isn’t my thing, and while I respect it, it just doesn’t interest me in terms of future careers. I know what I’m doing, and it has nothing to do with Dipole-Dipole this or Hybridization that. The teacher is a nice guy, too, just not a great, well, teacher.

Now on to the next semester. I’m happy to move on, and to celebrate, I burned the greatest cause of my recent stress in a small garbage can:

It was quite a relief. Now, I wait to see if I’ve passed or not.

I burned my high school french class book. It was a cathartic experience.

That's one way to do it. My classmate chose to shoot a crossbow arrow through his English binder a few years ago. I can only assume it was because his parents didn't let him burn it.

We like doing that with your papers too. Purgative. Cathartic.

I wanted to burn my chem textbook soooo badly, but it wasn't worth the $85 replacement fee

I wouldn’t do that, you probably can’t read the warning labels. Don’t fuck any chemicals that you can’t confirm are skin contact safe.

As a chemist, you should’ve added some copper salts to it to give the flames a nice greenish/blue hue. Or added some magnesium. In fact, you should;ve added a lot of magnesium and stared REEEEEEEEEAL close at it.

I did pretty poorly in high school chem, but managed to ace the final somehow and got one of the highest marks. My teacher was pretty surprised.

But yeah, physical sciences are not for everyone. What are you planning on heading into?

Accounting. I’ve received early acceptance for it at uOttawa and Carleton. Surprisingly, chem was not a prerequisite 0.0

Go to uOttawa!

hehe.

Did you consider Carleton, or was it never an option?

CB > Thunderface 01/27/2016 at 20:41

Nope. I considered uOttawa, Guelph, Western, and Ryerson as a last ditch effort.

What are you studying? (and what year are you in?)

4th year Criminology. It’s pretty swell.

Oooooh criminology. I was considering that course before I changed my mind on being a cop.

So when these papers burned, what compounds were left?

Indicate with structures.

Well, it was incomplete combustion, so there would be carbon, CO and a bit of H2O. Screw the diagrams :)

The first model I build in college was junk and I burned that thing too. I’m quite disappointed tho. Coming from a chemistry class I would have expected you to know to use much more gas than that

haha, I didn’t want to use up all our snowblower’s gas :)

I found chemistry super interesting. I’m in mechanical engineering though, so I don’t use really any of it
