I have been a little stressed lately because of my parents, they're just getting on my nerves and it's getting to me. I have started track and today is my first meet at Terranova, I am very excited because I am a very good runner and I'm sure I will do excellent. Chemistry is hard!!!!! it's not fair! It doesn't make sense at all!!!! My brother and I went on our first snowboarding trip this weekend and it was amazing, we went to Tahoe and snowboarded with his friends, it was awesome, It was warm the whole time we were up there.

So I havn't blogged for over a month, and I don't really have a lot to say!!! Soccer has been in full swing and were having an okay season. I have 3 goals, and many many assists, you can look at the PAL standings at http://www.smcoe.k12.ca.us/pal/. I'm doing track and football next, so Im going to be very busy in the coming months :)

Like Dissolves Like

Like dissolves like means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.

This week has been just a little hectic in school, all of my classes are cramming in for finals. It's a little stressful. I have some ligament problem in my knee and the coaches are'nt letting me play which is annoying because I've played with it for a long time. We played Riorden on Wednesday and we won 5-0, which is good, but it's annoying because I wasn't there to share a win with my team, I was really mad. I'm going to the doctors on Monday, but i really wanna get back on the field. Long week for me, UGH!

Late again...sorry!

I know that I havn't been on wth my blogging, but that will change i swear! and I havn't been on since the 8th of November, so i'm going to blog from then until now! The 3rd of December!!! in November I was sick for a few days, so i fell behind in school a bit and ended up with a D in chemistry and my parents really started getting on my case with my grades. But i knew that the blogging, test retakes, and the molecule project were coming up, so I started focusing on those and i think that I did a very good job on them, so i'm not really tripping right now. Thanksgiving was AMAZING, the food was really good. I don't have a big family at all, so it was me, my parents, my half Brother, his Dad, and his Grandma at my house. We had a 17 pound turkey, AMAZING MASHED POTATOES, some string beans and bok choi with broccoli. I made pumkin pie for desert and it was really good, i'm very happy with that. But two days before Thanksgiving I got in trouble. (duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhh) I was out at 1230 to see a friend, at night, but I had to sneak out to do it. It was in Hillsbourough and I was getting frustrated because I couldn't find the house, so I was speeding. This cop THOUGHT that I was drunk but I wasn't, I was completely sober. Anyways he pulled me over and asked for my liscence and registration and made me call my parents to come pick me up (which they weren't too happy about since I snuck out) and he called for backup, because he thought I was still drunk and high and he called for backup. THANK GOD my friends mom was on duty; she was the backup. When she got there she put in a good word for me, so he didn't pull my liscence until I was 18 AND I didn't get a speeding ticket. So I dodged a huge bullet. Of course my parents got mad at me, but I'm not really worried about my punishment(s) at all because I can focus on school now. The day after that happened I had a soccer game against Carlmont, which we tied 2-2. I scored the first goal of the season for Mills Frosh Soph team = ). I also started talking to a new girl that i'm pretty fond of. My friend Ally introduced me to her and we've hit it off great, so I'm excited about that. We also played Sacred Heart at Mills on the 2nd this month; we lost 4-0. and i got cleted in the shin really hard!!! I have a FAT bruise, which sucks. Well that's all I have for now; BYE!!!

first blog in a long time

So I havn't been blogging for a while which isn't helping my grade in chemistry...oops. School is kicking my arse right now, and I gotta work harder, especially now that soccer tryouts have kicked in and the season i right around the corner. Chemistry is a whole different language to me, especially because I have been sick alot lately...don't ask why, I have no idea. So I just turned 16 two weeks ago and it is amazing, I mean I didn't change from a boy to a man overnight, but I got my liscence now and I got new cletes for soccer. They have my name stiched on the inside of the right heel, it's pretty epic if you ask me. I havn't been driving as much as i'd like to because ive been really busy with school which is a drag, and my paents aren't too happy about my grades, and neither am I, so I got to make some sacrafices. Maybe i shouldn't drive so much anyways because I tend to scream at the top of my lungs at people because they are going 17 mph in a 25 zone, or they are still stopped at a red light 10 seconds after the light went green, it irritates me to no end. Those people drive automatics, they don't pay as much attention to the road as someone who drives a stick because if you drive a stick, you have to use both feet and you got RPM's to worry about and you can't dope around when driving because you have so much to do!!!
I'm all blogged out man
hasta luego

Even More Chemistry!

This past week in chemistry we have been discussing elements and their nuclei and electrons. We have also started writing formulas for losing and gaining an electron. All of this stuff right now is pretty boring, but i'm reallllllly excited to start doing chemical experiments.

We also have been breaking out in song lately, with learning how to convert units and so forth. We made a vidoe and I'm not sure if Mr.Olson has put it on youtube or not, but it was really fun. This year is going to be very fun if this continues.
