Wow, look at that sky! Gorgeous.

I've got a nice little spare room in my new flat - you can come stay in that Val

OH and I can finally give you that DW magazine you won on my LJ competition!! I should have posted it to you while you were over in the UK shouldn't I?!

I wish I were a better student with science and math.

I would have loved to have played in chemistry and physics, I just couldn't get past certain high school aspects, like mols.

I'm okay with Science, but Maths just makes me want to crawl into a very small hole and die. But I never have to deal with it ever again, so yay!

Oh, that's a shame! I really hope you're feeling better soon

AAVaria · 08-14-2008, 05:27 PM

Thanks!

me too! I'm going to Melbourne next weekend so i need to get better!

What are mols?

If I could re-do my final year in high school I would actually do a lot better study than I did

I would do my assignments EARLIER instead of leaving them to the last minute. and maybe have done IT.

stoptheqtip · 08-14-2008, 05:42 PM

I did all my coursework at the last minute- and it always turned out all right. The panic got my brain working for some reason. This doesn't work for Maths. My brain, panicked or not, does not do Maths.

A mol (pronounced like mole, and apparently that's the technical term) is a unit of measurement. 6.02x10^23

Quote:

A mole is the amount of substance of a system, which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram (or 12 grams) of carbon-12, where the carbon-12 atoms are unbound, at rest and in their ground state.[2] The number of atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12 is known as the Avogadro constant, and is determined empirically. The currently accepted value is 6.02214179(30)×1023 mol-1 (2007 CODATA).

The other thing I'd do if I could redo my education is focus a lot more on French.

AAVaria · 08-14-2008, 06:21 PM

my brain shorted out there for a second there Janet even READING about it! haha.

Math and Science were not my forte in my final year!
Mine was a CRAZY amount of language rich subjects...

Classical Studies, English Studies, Drama Studies, Politics... and then my one required Maths Applications

I'd like to learn a language... I have BASIC high school Spanish, In primary school i learnt, Spanish, French and Italian... The French I remember none of, the Italian got lost in all the Spanish in high school!

Lost in Translation · 08-14-2008, 07:22 PM

Hmm, I'd love to get loads stronger in French it would make life a lot easier.

bubandgeek05 · 08-15-2008, 04:08 AM

Is it sad that I actually understood that explanation of mol? and I didn't even take Physics...

Work is still stressful, but I'm going on vacation next week!!

Nicole

chandelier2 · 08-15-2008, 05:43 AM

Yay for vacation! It's what keeps us going isn't it?

I keep forgetting that I'm going away for a week at the beginning of September. There's so much other stuff going on it's crept up on me a bit quickly.

Jazz · 08-15-2008, 06:22 AM

Have fun on vacation!

I would love to go on vacation. This weekend I'm going to learn falconry...it's a medieval thing and its handling falcons.

indigo sunrise · 08-15-2008, 06:49 AM

Where are you all going?

Ooohhhhh falconry!! My friend used to do that! I've held a falcon once... It was definitely a very interesting feeling, they're beautiful animals
