Best. Chem. Lesson. EVER.
We chucked sodium into water just to watch it explode. How could that not be hot? First one failed due to too much wind and we all complained so much that the teacher chucked in a second bigger piece. THAT one blew up. Hawtness.
We then wanted to see if it would spontaneously combust when in contact with oxygen. It didn't, so we all blew on it just to be idiots. Some guy in the class who doesn't take chem said "Don't worry everyone, if it catches fire, I've got the hose to put it out." Yeah... I was the one to break the news to him. The look on his face pretty much said "Oh shit". Funny.
During lunch, had the conversation which just might lead to me getting my own income.
Teacher: Ah, I see you brought me a pie.
-laughter-
T: Anyway, the point is, I hear you've been tutoring (name), is that true?
Me: Reluctantly, yes.
T: Reluctantly?
M: Yeah, she isn't paying me.
-laughter-
T: Ah yes, anyway, we've been looking into getting a tutor for her but if you're willing to do it that's fine.
M: Yeah, I guess I'm ok with it. (Note the use of bombastic dialogue. Damn right I'm tutor material.)
T: Yes, and the school wouldn't want you to do this for free.
M: Oh, I understand. I wouldn't want to do it for free either.
-laughter-
Person I'm tutoring was pretty shocked that I would ask for payment. Its like, who would have expected -ME- of all people to -CHARGE- someone for my services. Bloody hell, THAT'S out of character.
Hopefully, I'll get my own income and finally be able to afford all those gifts I keep saying I'm gonna buy people. Yay. Fingers crossed and whatever other superstitous shit that superstitious people do.
