Chemisty!! Er... Chemistry? Yes, Chemistry!


Don't get me wrong, I do like Science. A lot. I love that feeling you get when you understand some concept or other, and then apply it to some ordinary phenomenon, to discover that what you thought was so simple was actually so complex. I love it when you look at some other phenomenon, something terribly rare and complex, and realise that it was so simple to begin with. And I am addicted to the sensation of getting a sum absolutely, completely right. ((Oh, yeah, who's your girl? I am, that's who!!))

But these exams are never-ending, honestly. And to keep every little formula related to a concept in your head, to just apply it mindlessly in the paper to get into some institute or other--now, that's annoying.

Anyway, gotta go slave over another bunch of formulae to give yet another exam. *sigh*

PS, did you know surfactants use miscelle formation to clean oil and grease off of things? But only above critical concentration. Basically, they swoop into the grease, getting their lyophobic tails in it, then when there are enough to form, like a big ball, with the grease in the centre and their lyophilic heads on the surface, they just float off into the sunset together. *sigh*
