biology today was great
my teacher did the thing where she’s like ‘you’re so smart. you know, we’re really learning this together; let’s look up that information on our own time.’
which means I’m never getting that answer from her. guh :<
I took so many pictures and videos of algae and the stuff that lives on it yesterday.
I am awful at working and using a microscope kms
I am that person who gets ridiculously excited about using microscopes in class.
lol did anyone else get their childhood dreams crushed by reality when they entered middle/high school? I wanted to make the NBA since I was in second grade, lol couldn’t even make the Freshman exclusive basketball team at my hs, I swear it was because the coach knew the parents of kids who tried out, so he had to give them a position over me. What were your guyses childhood dreams?
@neophite I wanted to be an alien
Did Leonardo DiCaprio like the Oscars joke?
I can never put the cover slip over the substance without either spilling out all of that blue stuff (I forgot its name) or creating massive air bubbles directly in the center of the slide…
@IrrationalPepsi I just drop it straight over the top from .5 mm above the slide and it usually works well
Use less of the sample and push it over from the side.
They tell students to move the slide the opposite of how they want it to go, but that’s confusing. They should teach students to move the slide towards the thing of interest IMO.
@awesomepolyglot seems legit
I once applied the slide to the cover slip </3
Help meee I have to write a resume and I’m not ready for this yet D:
We looked at onion cells today and I had to redo my sample three times because it wasn’t “flat” enough.

@IrrationalPepsi When we did that none of us actually reported seeing a cell transition between stages
3 of my grades are Bs
prolonged internal scream
3 of my grades are C’s my mom said that she didn’t want me to study with headphones because when i did, I got B+'s, now i dont use them and im doing worse.
This kid at my climbing gym is talking about how addicted he is to his e-cig. He’s a freshman. In high school. I hope to hell that he’s joking.
some people are just too bored and unmotivated
people at my school do everything from oxycodone to weed to ecstasy, unfortunately
I’ll prolly finish this semester with a B in English/History, if only because very few assignments are given in that class. Guh. Just- guh. :F
@neophite I started studying out of the house for this reason! :L
Also, I started writing notes on the textbook while I read instead of making flashcards or something. Playing things into a story makes it easier for my cerebellum to work with! This isn’t necessarily your thing, but it’s a testament to the effectiveness of different methods when peeps learn.
