Chemistry

I hate having a cough… it’s so embarrassing. Normally I try my hardest to not draw attention to myself in school but it’s kind of hard when I’m coughing and everything. I worry that people will get annoyed by it even though they probably hardly notice.

My chem teacher almost gave me a heart attack today! She’d assigned this comically easy worksheet on the first day of semester one and I’d done it and handed it in that period. This morning she says, “If you haven’t handed in that worksheet from Monday you should do it now…” At this point I’m thinking, what kind of moron needs three days to finish a worksheet that’s being marked out of four? Teacher continues to say, “And the people who haven’t handed it in are… Nikki and Colette.” Heart attack! Aneurysm!! Ahh! I said I’d handed it in, so she opened her folder and said immediately, “Oh. Here it is.” And then, she proceeds to read my paper out loud to the class as an example. Scary. So scary! There was a bonus question on the back that I did… three marks for a bonus question on a sheet that’s only out of four to begin with… so I ended up with one hundred and seventy-five percent on my first chem assignment. Cool, eh?
