Chemisty!

This week I had my second to last Chem 101 test!  I was nervous because Chem is not my best subject but I do think it is really interesting.  Sometimes it just doesn't click.  I am proud to say I got my highest test score out of the 3 other tests I have taken before!!! It is so nice to succeed in something that you do not always perform your best in.  Chemistry at the beginining of the semester was one of my favorite subjects and then I started getting confused but now we are right back on track again.  Anyway just wanted to share my excitment with you.  CHEMISTRY as my teacher Sister Lemon says, "Chemistry=Try."  I love her she is so willing to help you in anyway.  Plus it is my 7:45 class so she is peppy and keeps you interested and awake! :)  One of my favorite things I learned this semester is the picket fence trick with conversion factors!  In high school it seemed so difficult now it makes sense :)
Funniest thing from the semester has to be when my teacher shared a story of when she was dating her husband who was actually my SCI Foundations teacher haha.  When they were dating she made him pulled pork with BBQ sauce (she doesn't like BBQ sauce).  In the sauce she mixed Methylene, this chemical turns your urine blue.  HAHA she said it was hilarious to play a little trick on him.  From that point on I knew she would be one of my favorite teachers.  Also I respected chemistry more! Ps.  the chemical is clear so he couldn't tell or taste it in the sauce. haha
