my biggest classes are my 200 student psych and chem lectures.

my english class makes me feel like an idiot

calculus homework, after i'm done, i look at it, and it makes me feel smart

I've thought of that too Joe. Koch had us do a lab in chem 1 where you get a small piece of potassium and a small piece of Calcium and drop them in a little water. My calcium exploded and little pieces flew all over. Later when I was wiping down the table I ended up hitting a little piece and it skidded across the table through some water and into the sink. There was a miniature fire trail on the table and the sink was smoking, it was awesome.
My Chem class kicked it up a notch, now they're learning formulas, wow.

I finished building that model, it looks like crap but here it is.

That there is pretty impressive, Brandon.

i took a chem class to learn chemistry for my geology major, not stupid math...they might as well rename the course "we tell you that you'll be making cool chemical reactions and blowing stuff up but all you'll ever really do is copy down equations and read about all these great experiments that you'll never do."

i wanna throw 30 lbs. of potassium into a swimming pool

mrs. koch told us stories about that stuff, like a guy who dropped a pound of sodium in a toilet and blew the toilet off the ground, and some other guy who dropped 5 lbs of sodium in a water tower, and presumably died. but i never had anything overly dramatic happened when i did that sodium and potassium lab in mrs koch's class.

my chem lab today was acid-base titration, and all of the people in my lab group were clueless. i took over setting up the burets and getting the solutions and doing the titration and they were so impressed that i knew what i was doing and asked me if i was going to be a chemist or something.
seriously, that's sad that chem 102 students didn't know how to do that. i mean...titration...easy stuff, am i right?

It helps that I took the picture from the good side of the building. I already have some other project in that class due on the 26th, I didn't even check to see what it was yet though, I don't want to know.
Acid-base titration is pretty easy, the worst part of it was worrying about breaking the burets since they're crazy expensive. I'm glad I didn't take lab with this chem class or I'd have to kill someone for not knowing how to do stuff.

What's a good backup major? SARUP is highly competitive and only like half the freshman make the cut after the first year so I want to have a backup plan. I was thinking either accounting since it sounds extremely easy and CPA's make pretty good money I think or a pharmacist, but I don't know if I'd have to do a lot of extra years for that and I know I'd have to take a lot of chem classes for it.

When I first heard about the competitiveness when I was touring the place, I started thinking of minors that I could work on as well as the MArch degree. I haven't decided between studying for German, Meteorology, or an Audio/Visual Technician degree. I guess it all depends on what you are interested in.
