Chemistry is driving me absolutely, completely insane at the moment.

We have an exam on Wednesday, and for some reason I have no idea how to go about any of the problems on the practice exam. I guess I can ask Ritika for help or something, but I need to know HOW to do all of them for myself, well enough that if he switches the format of the problems around, I can still do them on my own. It's like I'm so frustrated with Mr. Burns and the amount of work he gives us that I'm unable to learn or think correctly in his class. Gah. I really don't know what to do. I guess I could try to get help from a tutor or something, but that doesn't change how maddening this class is. The ONLY way I'm going to be able to pull a B in this class is if I get consistently good grades in the lecture exams, because it seems I'm screwed on the lab exams.

Aren't teachers supposed to want their students to succeed, not set them up for failure?

*Fumes for a while*

Oh no!

I'm having Chem troubles too. Maybe it's because I never go to school. Aside from that, Larsen (who, ironically, is my chem teacher) is being a total jerk (I'll tell you the story in person sometime). Today, I'm missing a quiz. I missed thursday and friday last week, opened up my chem book yesterday, looked at the problems and DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. It was terrible. So, suffice to say, I'm not going to school today. Fuck. You're situation seems quite a bit worse though. We should get together and have a pity-party pertaining to Chemistry and our not-doing-great in it. And then watch anime and forget it all. 'Cept, I'm almost never free.

...Anyway, I want to hang out (SOON, damn me!). I miss you like hell. And I don't think I've watched any anime for, like, almost a year.

So what do you think?

I had trouble in Larsen's Chem class, too, and I agree that he can be a jerk. :/ He and Burns are kind of similar in that respect, although Burns is like Larsen times ten. Burns is the worst teacher I've ever had, hands-down. I've never worked this hard in a class, or done so badly. Chemistry has a habit of just suddenly not making sense, so I totally understand where you're coming from. It's a tough subject.

We should have a pity/anime party! I sympathize with the lack of time with all my piles of Chemistry homework. I hope we really can hang out soon! :( We've got to make it happen somehow, and not just keep saying we want to hang out.

We must remedy this lack of anime. Even though I have almost no time, I have managed to watch at least some anime. ^^;
