I can think of one thing more boring than transition metals: the stupid barnacles I spent hours counting on a cold rocky shore for the ecology fieldtrip I've been on for the past three days. :frown:

Apologies to anyone who likes it, but ecology is HELL.

Yeah, I thought swimming mayfly nymphs were bad but at least they swam around the tray and you had to catch them with the pipette.
Barnacles are much, much worse.
We had to breed fruit flies for genetics 'experiments'. That was very gross and pointless. Have to agree with Duke Flipside that transition metals aren't too bad - organic synthesis questions in the synoptic paper are truly evil. :mad:

But they have the largest penis/body size ratio of any animal on earth. Now there's something you didn't know! Really wasn't worth spending three days on cold horrid Arran to learn this though.

I always thought that was hedgehogs? (or are they just the most well favoured mammal?)
This made sense to me, what with all the prickles and all.

Edit : terrible grammatical error, I'm ashamed of myself

Ahhhghhh, I just went out in my mum's car and I stalled at a set of traffic lights, TWICE. It was so embarrasing.

There was a van behind me which overtook whilst I was fiddling about restarting the engine and the driver kind of glared at me when he drove past, lol. I live in the middle of nowhere though, so it wasn't as if there were pedestrians stood laughing at me :redface:

I have 28 days of school (with Easter and weekends in between). Gulp. :frown:
*in shock* 21 days over here... yeeshk! Things (hopefully) seem to be starting to come together in my mind though. When do you guys get your results? 8th of August for us Scottish people.

I passed it last week! :redface:

Oh and I found out today I've only got 25 days left in college, scary. I think we get our results on the 17th August.

My first exam is the chemistry practical. It's so much harder than last year... :frown:
oopsies...

17th eh? That should be roughly when i come out of my alcohol-induced coma if I make my grades! Does anyone have an exam that they're worried the most about? Maths for me, I think. There's just so much to learn! My brain feels saturated just now :s (cant type that word without thinking of ruddy op-amps, damn you, school!)

I hated the Bio practical. They're always so incredibly badly planned. Like clipping visking tubing in place with paperclips. Whoops, it's shredded. Goodbye osmosis, hello failed experiment.
