Ow! That was a rock! You can't throw rocks! I'm telling!
I hate studying. I'm just not one to sit around and read over textbooks and my personal chicken-scratch stacks of loose leaf. I hate studying.
At least things will probably work out for me. I have high hopes for most of my exams, despite my appalling lack of attention in class and stubborn refusal to study very hard. This term really hasn't been all that difficult. Everything is doable, and it's all doable without giving half your soul to satan for some demonic superpower.
Organic is the most interesting of the chemistry courses I've taken so far. It's got a lot of memory work involved, but some basic heuristics can break it down into edible slabs of information. As far as industry is concerned, it's probably the most useful of the chemistry disciplines. With organic chemistry comes life and death. We have it to thank for the plethora of pharmaceuticals at our disposal to vastly improve physical well-being, while at the same time it is organic chemistry to blame for the huge majority of pollution. Combustion continues to choke our atmosphere while polymers, especially plastics, display a horrifying resistance to biodegradation. Pesticides have ravaged many ecosystems, and the use of CFC's has already punch an enormous hole in the ozone layer. A disturbing amount of chemicals released into the environment as waste are from organic chemistry. Yet we continue to synthesize all kinds of crazy chemicals and sythetics thanks to our mastery of this field. It's truly quite something to even begin to grasp the far-reaching influences that this single discipline of chemistry has had on our quality of life, and to understand how it has implications which we've seen only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Through organic chemistry, humanity could just as well hand the reign of the world over to insects.
I'm wasting time. Back to studying. I hate studying.
