isatest. really, it's a test?

this week in chemistry,
hm...

Monday: all day Monday, we fnished worksheets then turned them in.
as a ritual, i will repeat that my group is great.
after school, i went to tutoring. tutoring was not what i expected. last year i went to bio tutoring. there, we had one to one tutors who help you with homework amd are open to whatever questions you have. in chem tutoring, its all messy and not well organized. no offense. we just recieved a worksheet and checked answers on the back. it kind of helped but i prefer the one to one tutoring better.

Tuesday: on Tuesday there was a test. i was prepared but i am sure i didn't ace it. i forgot to add the units despite the lyrics, "then you simply have to write the unnnnits". the questions that i had to write the given for were waaaaaaaaaay harder then what we did in tutoring. i am confident that i didn't fail so that's good. my grade will improve before the grading period ends. (hopefully) yay! on Friday, we have another test. the one on the book. the book that we never opened in class. the book we never discussed in class. the book that we keep at home and have to write notes on at home. that book. the one where if we have a test on i'll fail. because I DON'T GET IT. we just write notes about it. how does that imply we are ready for a test??? okay, i am done whining. i am getting quite good at that lately. especially about chemistry.
after the test, we played with dry ice and bubbles. it was the funnest i had in all the classes of chemistry we had. we should do that often,Mr. Olson,play with bubbles. :]

rawr

chemistry is stressing me out. i am not very fond of it. i dislike it very much. in other words, i hate it. i gave it a try and chemisty failed to do good to me. this year i planned to do well. b's and above on my report card is all i wanted. i want to understand each subject, get good grades and to make me and my family members proud. but you chemistry, are not helping me reach my goal. i don't get why we have to learn this stuff to pass high school? why does science have math in it? i know, i know, quit whining Alia, just do your hardest. blah blah.

to get a b or higher, im going to attend tutoring. im not sure if it will help a whole lot, but lets just hope.


this week was a toughie. on Monday, i wanted to attend tutoring but i had to go get surgery so u didn't. thats all i rememebr about Monday. on Tuesday, ohhh Tuesday, i rememebr you. it was sooo long. we watched 2 movies, one on the powers if 10 and one on something chemistry like. i didn't really understand what the point of watching it. then we did a worksheet. it was not easy/ my group members helped me but im not sure what help means anymore. usually when i say help, it means they helped my short term memory understand it not my long term. so 5 minutes later, i forgot how to do the problem/explain to my other classmates who needed help. so next time we do a lab or work together imma have to learn it. or at least attept to understand it. ha!

periodic table

on block day, we did an interesting lab on the elements. We were taught how the elements were classified on the periodic table. they are grouped by many different ways. it was actually very fascinating. i know i said this before and at this point i will be ranting on, my group mates are awesome. they really help me understand the language of Chemistry. and i am VERY thankful for them. even though they are great, i am considering going to tutoring. i knew from the start of this year that this year will be VERY VERY challenging. but i also knew that i want to do well. so tutoring is the right thing for me. i think it will help my grade and my understanding of the subject. sometime the classroom isn't enough. 

today, we saw the videos we made on Thursday. the song we sang has been stuck in my head for AGES. the videos were really cool. i had a GREAT laugh. 

tonight is back to school night and maybe my parents will see YOU, Mr. Olson. i hope they don't say anything embarrassing/stupid. i know that i suck at Chemistry, thanks Mom. i realized that Chemistry is all math. practically. maybe that's why i'm no good. HA!

first quiz, ohhh joy

first, i would like to say that the quiz was okay. it was everything i thought it would be. but unfortunately, i thought i knew the changing units formula but i actually didn't. so i'm sure i got a horrific grade. =(

one of the days, i think Tuesday, we did a lab. i thought it was going to be hard but it was not. i had GREAT group mates who helped me understand what we are doing. shout out to my group. 

Lastly, I would like to say, this week went by reeeaaally fast so i don't remember much. sorry.

p.s. i think i have mentioned this before, but I don't understand why we are blogging about Chemistry. i would never have thought we would blog in Chem class. but as i am typing, i'm realizing that blogging is fun and enjoyable so i am kind of glad that we are. and plus, we waste class time every Friday. :))
