What better way to spend a snow day than by…

Studying?

Yes, studying.

I woke up at 5:40 to the beautiful sound of the phone ringing. Nobody in their right mind would call me at 5:40 in the morning, unless it was our superintendant, calling us via automated message that “due to inclement weather, school will be canceled.” Oh, joyous day! My mom came in to state the obvious and I went back to bed, until 9:30, when I woke up and took a luxurious 20-minute shower (screw the environmentalist weirdos!) and got cracking on the books…

…NOT. I didn’t do any work until my mom came and metaphorically kicked me in the butt to start studying. Sigh…the dreary life of a high school junior. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the day doing nothing, I have to spend my time looking over biology, history, and english… the banes of my existance. Who thought that APs would be a good idea? This is ridiculous, I tell myself, as I crack open my huge biology textbook and start reading. “A catalyst is a chemical agent that changes the rate of reaction without being consumed by the reaction”. Easy enough. “…A system’s quantity of free energy is symbolized by the letter G. There are two components to G: the system’s total energy (symbolized by H) and its entropy (symbolized by S). Free energy is related to these factors in the following way:

G = H – TS“.

WHAT? None of this makes any sense. Let’s skip to something else…something understandable.

“Multicellular organs called sporangia (singular, sporangium) found on the sporophyte generation of a plant, produce the spores. Within a sporangium, spore mother cells undergo meiosis and generate the haploid spores” (Campbell, 2002)

…I hate my lifeĀ ): I better need this all one day. I better be in a situation where the only thing standing between me and the job of my dreams is whether I can correctly deduce which plant has a sporangia along a line of plants.

…sigh…back to work I go!
