Autodidacticism

That's probably not the right word, but I figured I would write about how I feel right now in AP Chemistry. Considering how long it's been since I last wrote, I probably should have some sort of update as well on life.

It's been about a month since school started and I have barely learned anything in AP Chemistry class. My teacher... Really the only thing that she's almost taught me is a couple anions. That's only because we had a test on it everyday, so we had to quickly learn all the names and the elements that made up the compounds. Instead of learning from the teacher, I've ha to teach myself. It almost feels like I'm back in AP Calculus with Hess, except it's worse because I don't really know Chemistry and it's actually challenging. I hope this AP book actually helps, otherwise, I'm screwed. Also, I get the fun of taking the Chemistry SOL this year. Remember those? I didn't know they still existed, but apparently I have to take the test for Chemistry. That'll be fun. Also, AP Economics is a similar situation, but there's the excuse that the teacher is kinda in Texas, so whatever. All of us in the class have to teach ourselves.

Oh, small update on everything. I get to do some more applications. My mom said I should apply to more schools, so I have a Stanford application, University of Illinois application, Caltech application, and I think I may have to do some UC schools as well. That'll be fun.
