    I was about to fail chemistry in the 9th grade, if I would have failed, I wouldn't be in Switzerland right now.

    Na, chemistry is pretty much required everywhere if you want to get to university. And university is nowadays pretty much required if you want to retire at some point in your life.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I feel your pain. I'm taking AP chem and we basically have to teach ourselves because our teacher isn't good at explaining concepts.

    At my 6th form (equivalent to your final 2 years in the US) I've not had a proper teacher all year for philosophy. The one they gave is is crazy, literally.


    You can't begin to imagine how impossible it feels to thoroughly learn Immanuel Kant, the cosmological argument and psychology of religion all by yourself..

    Yup, that most likely will be the case. I don't do maths any more but who knows, it might come in useful someday when somebody springs a trigonometry question on me..

    Cool Re: chemistry

    Personally, it was fun for me.

    My favourite reaction. It's the first reaction I've seen in my class (wow, I was 7th grade then; more than 7 years ago). From this moment on, I started loving chemistry. There is much logic and you have to get rid of the prejudice.

    2Na + 2HOH = 2NaOH + H2

    Dangerous and spectacular. I have not done anything connected with chemistry for almost 4 years. I hope I have not done any mistakes.

    I sat in the front of the classroom when someone in the back was doing that, or a similiar experiment. Upon leaving the classroom, I realised that I had a shard in my pocket. I believe there were stains in the ceiling, also.

    Ah, the Alkaline metals. I got to watch a potassium + water reaction in class. That was awsome. In fact, most demos and labs in chemistry are awsome. Molecular biology is a pretty interesting topic too.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    I remember my 10th grade honors chem teacher telling us that you either hate chem or love it. Boy that is the truth.

    It really does depend on the teacher. My 10th grade teacher made me LOVE chemistry. At one point in my high school life, I even considered making it my major in college. However, I found I hated upper the level stuff when I took AP CHEM in 11th grade. The teacher was one of the best and I scored a 5 on the AP examination, but a lot of the stuff was just plain boring to me.

    Now I'm an accounting major. Funny how that works, eh?
