| | Thursday. 3.31.05 5:03 pm i think i might have done well on that test. yeah, i actually probably got like a 79 or something, who knows. i didn't think it was that hard, but i guess i'll have to wait until like monday or tuesday to get my grade back. tomorrow we have to do the lab portion of the test. ohhhh goody. i guess we have to do the titrations lab, and i hated that one. i would much rather do the dilution lab. it was so much easier. buuuut mr. harold thinks the titrations one is easier, blegh. oh well, as long as kelsey and i beat andy, that's all that matters.
oooookay i'm tired. Comment! (0) | Recommend! | Rate! Wednesday. 3.30.05 2:58 pm i woke up this morning and wondered what i could do for my mom since it's her birthday. i couldn't think of anything. i was going to make her her favorite cookies but we didn't have all the stuff. sooo i settled on making her a cute little birthday card which i did in Spanish class while we watched Tarzan (aka - very boring movie). my mom's birthday made me realize all the time that has seemed to go by since I was little, and everything was how it is supposed to be. my mom and dad were still together, my sister and i hardly ever got in fights, and everything was just right. being able to turn 18 and be on my own will be awesome, but from then on, you only get older and older until like mr. harold said, you're an old person that can't do anything. being little was so much fun, and i can understand why old people wish they were little again.
well, during lunch mag and i went down to her mom's office because lunch sucked and we have a crappy table. that was interesting. then, chem II we reviewed some more for "The Test Like No Other" which we have to take tomorrow and the lab portion of the test is on Friday. i actually think I might do okay because i did good on all of the practice problems. the thing is, this test is in "storybook" format, so that might screw me up a little bit. freaking borderline genius right here(i wish) guessed correctly on what the essay question will be so the whole class could study it. that should be an extra ten points right there. oh, then i told andy and mag my secret on how to memorize the strong bases. telling maggie isn't a big deal, but i told andy. ANDY FREAKING GOODWIN. i should've just made him memorize them. (sorry Arica! haha). Then mag came up with a way to memorize the strong acids which i already don't remember. haha. something like: HCl, HBr, HI, HCO3, HNO3, H2SO4? i think? yes, i'm pretty sure. now to memorize the solubility rules. ohhhhhh damn.
actually, i am going to put the important stuff on here, just so i don't have to keep trying to find it in my notebook, and MAGGIE in case you didn't bring your chem stuff home, just read this ---> =)
Common Acids
sodium hydroxide = drain-o
sulfuric acid = battery acid
acedic acid = vinegar
carbonic acid = carbonated drinks
sodium bicarbonate = baking soda
Strong Bases
LiOH
NaOH
KOH
Ca(OH)2
Sr(OH)2
Ba(OH)2
Solubility Rules
- nitrates are soluble
- has group 1 metal, soluble
- ammonium, soluble
- has Cl, Br, I, soluble except with Ag, Pb 2+, and Hg2 2+
most sulfates are soluble except with Ba, Pb 2+, Hg2 2+, and Ca
- OH's are slightly soluble
Li, Na, and K are very soluble
Ba, Ca, and Sr are marginally soluble
sulfides, carbonates, and phosphates are not very soluble
small Ka = weak acid
large Ka = strong acid
Salt Hydrolysis
2 strongs neutralize = no pH change
strong base & weak acid = basic
strong acid & weak base = acedic
i think that's all the stuff we have to have memorized. god, this is like a fucking final exam almost! oh yay, the real final exam is going to suck so bad.
on to something other than me getting like, a 75 on "The Test Like No Other", I'm going to work some more on my history project and order some hawaiian pizza and wings. yessssss. Comment!

Monday. 3.28.05 4:19 pm i can't cheer this year! i guess i would rather have a job then cheer though. my mom talked to my uncle yesterday about me working at Hoover's and since my Uncle does the hiring, he said I'm hired. aaaand since I have to be there after school, that means no cheerleading. but oh well, i'd rather be bullshitting with people and making money. he said i am hired without an application, but i still need to fill one out just to verify that i want the job. sooo yeah, i think i start either at the end of April or the first part of May.
well tonight i dropped my car title off to Mary Ann, and mom signed it off so my dad went in to get it. even though it's not the car i really want, i don't care, because this car is totally free to me. if i would've gotten anything else, i would've had to pay half. all i have to do is pay for insurance and gas money, and i'll never have to take it to the garage to get fixed because my dad and uncle will do everything. plus, i will only be driving for like, a little more than a year before I'm gone for the Navy, so it doesn't really matter. then, when i'm in California or Hawaii making awesome money, i'll buy the car i really want. ooo maggie, maybe i'll buy a Mazda. ha, no just kidding.
okay dave, i'm stealing this from you: ^-^

Sunday. 3.27.05 6:48 pm i guess. i was really tired, but it was still fun. i had to help hide eggs, and all of mine that i hid were the multi-colored ones, and Kim hid all the purple ones. well when jon and olivia went to find them, there were two missing and everyone interrupted my nap because they thought they were my eggs that i hid too hard. well, no, they were kimberly's. so, i didn't get much of a nap.
my aunt diane walks in and she's like, "wow, who's new black car is that?" and i'm like, "mine." and she goes, "yeah, HAHA real funny, but seriuosly who's is it?" and my dad's like, "it's michelle's." and aunt diane goes, "well you spoiled little shit!" and she just stood there open-mouthed over how spoiled i am sometimes. hahaha, yes, it's nice when you have three older sisters who are all out of the house =)
brenda had her baby yesterday, Isis Elizabeth. aw, she's adorable.
Jen had this Twenty Questions game that she bought at Toys-R-Us, and no one could beat it. Ryan and I were all secretive and picked "balloon" and we thought we had it stumped, but it guessed it. so then we're like, "alright, it's never going to guess muffler" and we beat it. the thing was in the right category with car parts when it guessed "carborator" but, a carborator isn't a muffler so we beat the shit out of that thing. yesssssss!
today was fun, but now i'm going to watch Stripes. (Bill Murray and John Candy.. yes, great movie.) Comment! (1) | Recommend! | Rate! Saturday. 3.26.05 8:58 am oh man. it was strange. i just took a shower and that made me lose some of it, but i'll try to remember.
the following people were in my dream: maggie, mudge, travis chamberlin, kelsey fitzwater, miss salata, mr. harold, mr. beck, and a bunch of people that didn't play a huge role in my dream
alright, mag, mudge, travis, and i were at some camp thing. the place was huge. it was one of those camps that you stay at for like two months. well, we were all at this restaurant thing, and i asked kelsey some guy advice. she told me that before she would give me advice, i had to go toilet papering with her around camp. so the deal was made. we went back to our cabins(which had everything that a house has) and watched some movies. there was this HUGE bed, so mag, mudge, travis, and i were all laying on it watching the movie. (kelsey was in a different cabin). maggie was supposed to wake us up at 1:30 if any of us fell asleep. well, i was the only one to fall asleep, and no one woke me up. i didn't wake up until around 6am the next morning, and i went outside and no one was to be found. i was walking through the woods and bumped into miss salata. she told me everyone was playing one huge game of hide-and-seek. oh yay. well instead of trying to find people from camp, i went to the area where the counselors were waiting. Mr. Harold and Mr. Beck were the counselors. Mr. Harold was the leader of our cabin, and Mr. Beck was the leader of Kelsey's cabin. i waited there with them and just talked and watched everyone randomly running around trying to find people. eventually, everyone was found and they went back to sit with their cabin. Mr. Harold and Mr. Beck told us that the next week of camp, there was going to be a big dance thing, and that today we were all going to the mall. this mall was HUGE. it was like... fifty of the Arnot Mall's put together. So, Kelsey, Mag, Mudge and I walked around in the mall looking for dresses, but obviously mudge was looking for a tux. we got bored of looking for dresses and stuff, and decided to walk into the pet store. we saw travis in the store with a bunch of other people, and ran up behind him and scared him. little did we know, he had this gross fucking iguana in his hands. he chased us around with it, and chased us out of the store without realizing it, and the alarm went off. the store worker put an announcent out that someone had stolen an iguana, and when Travis heard it, he threw the iguana on the floor so no one would think he took it. the iguana started chasing us, and we freaked out. We ran into the elevator, and the iguana got half-in and got smushed. just then, my alarm went off and i woke up. so yeah, that was my weird dream. weird dreams are kind of fun. =)
