Nerd Time

I'll admit it.
I'm a nerd.
An english nerd.
And, hell, I'm proud of it.
I have pride in the fact that I am top of my english/history class. I am proud I am beating the best students I know, (sorry kiddos:]) and I love the work, and the fact that Mr.L has so much faith in what i do.
I love getting work back from a teacher who is a tough marker with 96% percents. I love reading his comments and critisisms on my work, everything from "great opening, nice use of repatition" to, "why can't you understand comma splices?!, this is awkward and poorly done"
because they help me grow and learn.

On the flip side,
chem is killing me.
I just can't understand it. All those formula's and rules and definitions and how carbon makes up everything organic and some inorganic and how n=M*V and molarity and molality and this and that and presipitation isnt rain. plasma is the most common substance in the universe. its just overwhelming. i'm so bad at it, it's unreal. i can't do those calculations and the difference between an atom and molecule escaped me until very recently. Learning about how scuba divers get the bends is frustrating because it seems so simple but i cant hold onto it.
can't win 'em all now can i? Chem is so cool, learning why everything is the way it is. it's like holding the key to the universe. i just keep dropping it and misplacing it and just can't seem to get it to work. Is my lock faulty, or my key I wonder...?

Is there something about yourself or you do that make you feel great? Something that make you feel slightly smug? Something you feel you're great at?
Is there something you're the best at?
Is there something you're the worst at?
What do you love about each?
