My school county was closed from January 21st until today (almost 2 weeks). I feel burdened with all this school work I have to get done—and the semester ends this Thursday. Fml.
Aw you guys. I hope both of you survive.
I still want to live in Colorado someday.
Also don’t take 3 hr naps because I just did and I feel so crappy. It’s like waking up fo a new day as if you got 3 hrs of sleep the night before. And I just read online somewhere naps increase mortality rate fp
@penngirlpending o___o Uhh…I take 3 hour naps everyDAY. Lol I first started off with 30 min in frosh year and it gradually got worse as my workload increased. Somehow I still manage but mortality rates?!?
@ambitiousgeek @penngirlpending I never took naps until sophomore year but then my naps got longer and longer until I was taking 7 hour naps and not sleeping at night. Now that I work I haven’t taken a single nap this year; I drive by Wawa for coffee instead. I miss being able to come home and crash : (
Is anyone else staring down the Iowa caucus results right now? Sanders is only 0.2% behind!
(Also known as: I have an English essay due tomorrow and I haven’t started.)
Really hope he beats her… Just to remind you @tonystarkofwinterfell , we can’t talk about politics here 
It’s against the rules.
Anyone submitted the MITES application just now?
@neoking I submitted it yesterday but I just edited it a little bit a few minutes ago.
YES. Two species covered in this Invasive Species binder, hundreds more to go. A month left till the competition. LET’S DO THIS
I’m not eligible for MITES (my only hook is that I’m female; however, I’m Asian and middle-class), so I didn’t apply. I did submit an application for a program called JSEP yesterday at the exact time for the deadline. That was very stressful.
Also, I just found a Marine Geology textbook and a 170-page brief on US ocean policy. I should probably read them before Ocean Science Bowl regionals in a month.
RIP.
@tonystarkofwinterfell inserts Katniss Everdeen gif where she flashes her three fingers to the camera like she did for District 11 Bless your soul.
@desideratum I feel your feels
I’m already starting to hate second semester of junior year… I had SkillsUSA over the weekend and my MITES application was due yesterday and now I have to do an application for Girls State that’s due tomorrow along with a chem lab and AP Chem test :((
Anyone here get nominated for Girls/Boys State?
@SockandBoots what is that? Is it a program? I always hear about it but never know what it is lol
I’m so stressed about Science Olympiad and all these summer program apps and school and work and orchestra and conference and science fair and UGH I promised myself I wouldn’t allow myself to get this behind in life
People are so nice ah! Just when I feel like I’m losing my faith in humanity, something happens - someone comes along and restores it.
On another note, @coffeeaddicted - I feel your pain with Science Olympiad. I’m really sorry that everything seems to just be piling up incessantly & I hope everything gets better ^^
Sigh. I want to take Psych next year, but I have no open periods + my schedule’s already turned in.
@SockandBoots I feel you, I hate AP Chem so much!
@coffeeaddicted It’s basically a summer leadership program that has a heavy emphasis on government and politics. From what I understood, schools nominate a boy and a girl to go to the program. At my school, they nominate five each, so there is an interview process. It sounds interesting, but I wouldn’t mind it that much if they rejected me.
@GrandBudapest I want to do well in the class, but it gets so frustrating because there is not enough time to cover everything effectively. How far are you? We just finished thermochemistry.
@SockandBoots Not GrandBudapest but we just finished acids and bases. My teacher is following an alternate schedule put forth by this organization called NMSI. Everyone in our class had already taken sophomore chem, so we immediately reviewed stoic and covered all the new things like electrochem, thermo, equilibrium, and kinetics last semester. We did acid and base in January, and oh God was that test hard.
Since we’ve covered everything new, we’re now reviewing all of easy peasy sophomore chem and studying for the AP test.
