I still don't like chemistry.
I just...maybe it's just that I've been staring at this textbook all day, but I am so sick of chemistry. I'm sick of memorizing formulas and memorizing which compounds have which oxidation numbers and which compounds are and aren't soluble - because it's all memorization! Every damn thing! And to no obvious point and purpose. If I had any reason to care about which compounds lost electrons in a redox reaction, I might be able to do the memorization. But there's no real-world application, no practical purpose, no reason for me to care. Oh, and yet I STILL have a problem set to do, and I haven't done any Bio this weekend either. And I don't feel like doing pilates on Monday.
Oh, and that pan-asian place I used to visit whenever I could afford isn't all that good anymore. I suppose they changed recipes over the summer or something, but...I don't like their food anymore, not even my old favorites, and I used to live off the stuff. This is not something you want to realize when you've had a depressing day full of Chemistry.
And so, a meme. I wasn't going to do this initially (I posted it, then deleted the post), because it was self-indulgent of me and I barely have any fic written anyway, but I am not feeling good and am looking for something to do: Request any fic of mine and I will provide you with a commentary/annotations, like a DVD extra.

*stomps back to Chem textbook*
[ETA] And it turns out that I have the wrong edition of the textbook in question, and it's too late to get another copy right now, and I can't ask for an extension since I was supposed to be working on this problem set all this week.
I hate this class. It's too early for me to hate it this much, but I do.
