Why does it feel like high school?ozdragonladyOctober 6 2011, 22:35:22 UTC
Because, if naming the compounds was ALL it was about - I learnt that when I was 12 ... at the very least it is the first half of first semester in first year at Aus unis (where they catch up on all you failed to learn at school, specially in Chem, as it frequently misses the mark) ... and the maths ... definitely high school ... the history seems better, depends how much depth there was in it. No wonder US colleges like Aus graduates ....
Well done, anyway. Hope it all leads to something better.
Um, why are you not doing comp sci at college? an official qualification would surely lead to something more interesting than configuring workstations (even if they are at NASA :) )

In elementary school, I learned all about p+'s, e-'s, and n0's (forgive the lack of superscripts..), the nucleus and orbitals. In middle school, chemistry was not covered... in high school, we started from the beginning but covered such things as bond energies, types of bonds, acid/base models, etc. Now here I am in college and... hey, did you know there are these little electron-thingies with negative charges?
I'm not sure if history was high school level or not, to be honest. I failed out of high school before I got to that class.
I am doing comp-sci; it's going to be another 4 years or so before I get to the part where I learn about computers though, mostly because I'm doing it while working at NASA. Oh well.
I wonder if my paperwork for immigrating to Aus is still valid. It was accepted 10 years ago as a skilled worker migration since I had a necessary skill-set, but I never went in for the physical exmaination or paid the filing fee.
