I've got less than 50 minutes to answer a bunch of multiple choice questions, write 4 short essays, 1 long essay, and locate cities on maps. :( Yikes.

Meanwhile, I have this floating around in my brain, preparing for Monday’s test in chemistry…

I don't like dipoles and balancing equations. I'm sick of radiation formulas and of a bunch of old dead guys who can figure out crazy stuff that makes sense in a sick, twisted way. How the heck did they find out 6.02x10^23 = 1 mole????

Yikes!
