Homework ARGH!

Well I guess it's about time I wrote on here.
I've been doing chemistry today. Needless to say, I've been on the internet more than actually doing chemistry, but it still seems to be weighing me down. I do not like naming compounds and working out formulae. I thought I'd got my head around the formulae after Francis kindly explained how to work them out for about half an hour (during which time I burst into tears because I didn't understand it very well and I didn't even understand what part of it I wasn't understanding). I haven't cried for a while before then so it was a bit funny!

I still have 20 formulae to work out, really only because I've been procrastinating so much. I also have to make an advertisement for a slave and pretend that "trade me was available in the 1800s". I'm not sure whether the trade me bit has just been added in so that we know we're supposed to make an advertisement or if it's been added in so we set it out in the format of the website. I'd rather not bother copying the style of the website as it seems rather pointless to me.

Before I go I'd like to tell you just how awesome "Magic Man" by heart is. I think I might even sing it for my audition for the school production. I've been listening to it over and over again today. The other music I've been continueously listening to this week is my double cd of Simon and Garfunkel that I got for Christmas. I thought they were boring at first, but now I'm pretty much in love with the second disc. Some of the best songs are "babydriver", "The Boxer", "Cecilia"... and others. It was a bit sad when I went on youtube and realised that most peoples old grannies listen to Simon and Garfunkel and probably not many people my age do, but in a way it's sort of special that I'm like a granny. I don't listen to a lot of new stuff.

I am the girl anachronism!
