Chemistry Test

I took my chemistry midterm on Friday and I was stuck on the last problem for a while. I tried a bunch of different ways but I couldn't get a right answer. I finally figured it out and started writing it out but then the proctor called time. I wrote out everything except the last step and the final answer and he came and took my test. Turns out that if I had been able to finish that problem I would have gotten the highest grade in the class. Oh well, I got a good grade regardless.

Bruises and buses

When I was taking off my sweatshirt at work the other day I realized I had a huge bruise on the outer part of my left upper arm. I didn't know what it was from, but that's kinda weird, right? I realized later what it was from. I was riding the bus to school the other day and the driver had to stop really fast. I was sitting in a seat that had a space between me and the one next to me, and the one next to me had a hard plastic armrest. When the bus stopped, I went flying forward into said armrest (and the guy who was sitting in that seat), landing on the part of my arm just under my left shoulder. The rest of my arm went between the seats, so I landed completely on that part of my arm. That definitely explains why there is a bruise there. That experience was not exactly what I would call one of my most graceful moments.
