Acid nightmares....

phew... today waz another tough day.. hehe... reeealli tired n dazed now... somehow feel awake but still.... mind doesn't seem to be working properly...

day started out not too badly... onli dat i woke up at 6.50 n rushed me butt off to sch.. haha... still had time to do a bit of quiet time (QT) in the car tho.... today's devotional waz... quite intrigueingly... rather similar to me previous blog entry.. hehe... can go check it out here... juz click on today's date.... itz juz an online copy of the devotional i'm using for QT... anywayz.... again i'm reminded of relying on God instead of self.... well... to actually practice dis is actually kinda hard esp when u're caught up with the activities for the day....

niway had another "sprinkling" of "divine intervention" today.. haha... i waz not late for sch!!! haha... so interesting... the traffic lights were at the right colour at the right time.. haha... no chance dat all these happen by chance to me.. haha..

anyway the day started off not too badly... had gp n fernandez had her occassional bitz of humour.... she wasn't as bad as the beginning of the yr... dat time she waz realli.... irksome(?)... haha.... went thru compre... cheem stuffz..

had a slack slack PE lesson n the usual booooring dose of econz... then came chem prac! the highlight of the day... coz it waz the lowest point of the day.. haha... everythign waz wrong with me at chem prac.... can't realli explain y... it juz.... happened.... :/

started off the titration experiment in a mess... first titration forgot to add some stuff n emptied me whole burette into me conical flask while trying to look out for something dat wouldn't happen.... second titration waz alright.... n the thrid waz a nightmare... poured KI in.... then went to grab the measuring cylinder for the dilute sulphuric acid.... brought it to myself... knocked down the bottle of acid n spilled alllll over the table.... worksheet waz acidified... shirt n pants wet.... a little went into the mouth.... yuck.... rinsed me mouth like crazy n almost spilled some starch solution again.... grrr.... n then.... me thigh started getting itchy coz of the acid thingie on me pants.... itz the worst prac i ever done in my ENTIRE LIFE!! i waz/am in a veeeri sour mood.... wiped up me table n continued.... did the last titration n never touched any of the stuff EVER again....

second experiment wasn't any better.... had to weigh solid stuffz.... weighed too much for the first time.... had to redo.... then weighed too little on the second time!! itz like... it went frm one extreme to the other.... itz veri draining to do a prac when everything juz goes wrong.... *roar*... so juz copied readings frm other ppl n did all the claculation n juz got over with it...

tink itz over?? no mercy manz.... when cleaning up the stuffz.... waz capping the bottles for all the substances... then my "gd 'o fren" mr dil. sulphuric acid came along.... i tested the lid for the bottle of dil. sulphuric acid n found it waz quite tight.... well... i guess i gotta redefine wat tight is.... coz when i grabbed the lid n held it up the bottle juz dropped again.... thankfully the bottle waz already mostly emptied frm the first spill but still some spilled on the floor n table.... sighz... with frenz like this.. who needs enemies??

well... juz another day dat started well but ended badly.... not angry or anything.... juz reeeealli sianed out... now i'm almost a "dead fish" -quote mb-.... anyway juz tot i'll make an entry bright n early b4 i realli become a dead fish after studying n pia-ing hw.... juz hope dat nth goes wrong at home.... so til the nxt entry.... adios....

PS: to mb... ur blog nv inspired me to start one... i waz tinking of having one b4 u even started urz.. haha...
