Furniture Makes Me Feel Profound

Right now, all of the furniture in my bedroom is all messed up and in random positions because we had to make room for the guy to come and replace my window glass.

He never showed up.

This afternoon I sat against an empty wall listening to music. And as I looked around me I realized that I was in the midst of a miniature field of chaos. All the furniture was pushed to the side and things were scattered every which way. Tables and boxes and my chair were carelessly pushed aside and boxes, socks and books were strewn about the floor even more than usual.

And I came to realize, while listening to an interesting combination of Scattered Trees, Sergio Mendez and Train, that at that very momen in time I felt very peaceful. Relaxed. Content.

And now I realize two things: The first is that life is a lot like my chaotic room. Regardless of what is surrounding you, it's important to find a way to feel happy. And it is, in fact, quite possible.

The second realization is that I think I need to clean up my room.

My Studying Methods

Tomorrow I have a quiz on some chemical symbols and names for chemistry.  In 30 minutes I am going to go eat dinner.  And for my next trick, I shall successfully teach myself 20 elements and their abbreviations. Here we go.

Titanium- Ti.  Ti 84 calculators are made of titanium. (Well, idk if they actually are but humor me.)

Vanadium- V lets see... no other elements starting with V. "V is for vandium, and its good enough for me..."

Chromium- Cr. Cromium. Chromium.. Google cromium?

Manganese- Mn Manga+Japanese=Manganese.

Iron- Fe... When you buy an iron, you have to pay a fee. Iron=Fe.

Cobalt- Co. Cobalt & Co. Your favorite cobalt provider since 1922

Nickel- Ni The nights who say Ni wear nickel armor. "We are the nights who say ni!"

Cu- Copper. Mini Copper. Mini Cuper. (yes i know its spelled wrong.)

Zn- Zinc. There's a Zinc in my Sink.  (If you know what Dr. Seuss book I'm referencing, points for you!)

As- Arsenic. Arse is brittish for ass. Arsenic. Assenic. As. (I apologize for the vulgarity.  But just know that from now on you will never forget the abbreviation for arsenic.)

Se- Selenium- sometimes there is no clever way to remember so you just have to say SE selenium SE selenium SE selenium repeatedly while marching around your room like a mad man. SE selenium SE selenium SE selenium

Br Bromine. Broooooomine.  The chemical element of bros. Brr. Cold bros who fell off their surfboards.

Kr Krypton. Superman... Kryptonite... Krypton. Kr. Kr. Kr Kr Kurt! Glee is on tonight. Kr Kr Kr It's also the only K one.

Rubidium- Rb. I have an RV that's made of Rubiduim. Only its not an RV, its an RB. Yes? No? I don't know...

Sr. Strontium. Senior Strontium strived to strengthen his strawberry. Sr. ....(shrugs helplessly)

Zr Zirconium. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Zr Cone E Um. Oh, I know. When Gorillas growl, they say "grrr." When zebras growl they say "Zrrrrrr."

Mo Molybdenum. Molly Be Denim. Mo be Corduroy.

Ag- Silver. Ag is an abbreviation for the Latin "argentum" meaning "grey" or "shining." The American Girl doll came in a silver box.

Cd- Cadmium "Hey did you hear about that new band Cadmium? They made a CD!"

Sn- Tin. Last one... I can totally do this. Sn -> Sin. Sintin. Sentinel.

And that, for those of you who are still reading this post and haven't left me for more entertaining youtube videos or pictures of cats, is how you teach yourself chemical elements.  Or I suppose you could just read the textbook and take notes... but where's the fun in that?

Mr. Blue Sky

Well, what do you know. There are exactly 29 minutes left of summer vacation. And that right there is one of the saddest sentences I've ever typed. Right now I'm sitting in bed listening to the rain outside (one of my favorite sounds.) I tried to fall asleep at a decent time, really I did. But I figured emptying my thoughts out might make sleep come a tad bit easier, so here I am.

I guess my melencholity shows that I had a pretty good summer, which is true. In fact, I had an awesome summer, which is more than I can say about last year. But today was unpleasent because the reality of You Know What tomorrow finally sunk in. Anyway- time for the Stuff On My Mind...

Item one: anxiety. I'm pretty worried about whether or not I'll have my friends in my classes. And I get to find out in T minus eight hours.

Item two: I seem to have convinced myself that summer will last forever if I just stay awake. Looks like the logical side of my brain has once again lost to the "I just have so many feelings and I must share them ladida!" Side. Go figure.

Item three: this morning I found a dead bug on my rug. Then I accidentally dropped a shoe on him and made him even more dead. His innards stained the rug blue. How am I supposed to sleep in the same room as a microscopic blue tinted corpse?

Item four: My dad just had me listen to the most wonderful song. It's called Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra. It's beautiful. Go listen to it. I find it impossible to listen to that song and not feel a little better about whatever problem I have.

Item six: Typing on an itouch keyboard is really not as easy as Apple intended for it to be. No, I dont have sausage fingers. But since it keeps autocorrecting words to random things like "sorrow" and "inadequate", I think it's trying to tell me something.

So goodnight, dear reader. And cross your falangies tomorrow that I'll have good classes, teachers, lunch, and people around me.
