• First week of summer school, completed. One down, seven to go.   I was having some serious doubts about Chem 114 because of bad experiences with Hammerich in Chem 112 freshman year... and it's been so long since I've taken a chemistry course. From the sound of her last name, and from the horrible things everyone was saying about her, I expected Professor Balch to be this mean, pale, baggy, libarian-esqu, spectical-sporting old lady, but she's actually not. She actually seems relatively young and healthy, and her voice and style of presentation is energetic. She even outlines her lectures and explains things pretty well (even though she goes fast and her handwriting is hard to read). I was afraid that she'd yell at me for not knowing simple things that I should have learned from Chem 112, but when I asked for help after class she was actually really nice, smiley, and encouraging. She said that I asked really good questions and she's glad to see that because it means I'm really thinking about it. Professor Balch even offered to give me some extra problems to overcome my "slight disadvantage" of not knowing Chem 112.
  Yay, more homework problems. I heart studying.
  On another note, fatty foods taste disgusting. Bacon is made of pigs' butts, and any steak that's not extra lean is infected with mad cows' disease.

   

   

   

  The difference between brainwashing and self-motivation is personal choice.
