It's basic Chemistry here as well. That's my point, i just couldn't understand anything about Chemistry! Anything. I am glad i am an Engineer!

The subject I've always had the most trouble with was Biology - even though I liked it a lot, it was just too much information to memorize. Not that it is much better now in law school, there are still hundreds of laws I must insert in my brain

Yeah, that's true. I have 2 elder cousins, one of them is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. There is so much to memorize and grasp in Bio and Law that it takes up loads of years to become well established in the professional career. The studying never really stops.

And when you think you're starting to get a grasp on things, they come with some new law that overtakes the previous one and then you need to learn everything again. Sad lawyer life.

Haha! Yeah but on the other hand once you make a name for yourself, and the Chain Reaction starts, things begin to look quite good. Doesn't it? Just have to wait for the right moment which definitely comes in everyone's life!

That's true. If you are a famous lawyer you might earn tons of money.

@Stingray, I couldn't help but think about you and laugh my ass off when I saw this:

I don't know about other countries, but in Brazil H+O2=H2O is like basic chemistry. It gets much worse than that

I had to resist the urge to correct your equation! I am a Chem Eng and a teacher so everything about your post made me sad because a good teacher wouldn't have left you struggling like that!

LMAO, I only saw it was wrong now. I just took a glance and assumed it was right. 2H + O = H2O.

I can't stand chemistry....

Unless Breaking Bad counts...

[Heisenberg 1,824]

What do you mean? In high school, you need all of that (math, physics, geography, history, biology, chemistry, portuguese, etc) to pass University Entrance Exam...

I know that, next year i'll have to pass it, but my point is a board like this, you'll need some hours of work

Much much worse... :blue scalf:

It counts if it makes you interested chemistry is so much more than what they teach in school and so much more interesting.

@Dion: I am tutoring a young man for his iGCSE chem exam so I very quick to pick up the little mistakes because each one can gain him a mark back if he doesn't make them.

Yeah at school, the periodic table etc, just got extremely boring.

[Rmpr 8,977]

I think in different countries, you'll have different options for eg - India there's no Language to get into University.(few have English but very few)

No Geography, History or any of the social sciences. Just Physics/Chem/Math and 1 more subject of your choice - Bio/Stats/Econ/Arts/Comp and so on...

Good for you and whoever more that only have to study basic stuff + the subjects you choose.

In Brazil, you need to take all classes and they go very deep in it (even if you want to take a biology in University, you will have to learn logarithm and how to integrate, for instance). This counts for every subject (geography, history, chemistry, etc). I was accepted in Mechanical Engineering and even then I had botanic classes like this one when I was in high school. Totally useless!

I know, that is why it is so amazing. Her teacher did it in 50min while explaining it. I would take 50min only to draw the first circle, lmao...

Ah, well i wouldn't blame my teacher. I never really gave her good marks, hence she probably gave more importance to the guys who actually gave her better marks. I guess, Chemistry wasn't meant for me! I have seen a lot of people complain about History being boring or Mathematics being difficult, similarly Chemistry was that one subject i never could get into my head. Mind you, i worked the hardest in Chemistry and yet couldn't understand the concept of covalent bond, organic reactions etc.

Completely agree. I hated chemistry in high school because my teacher was an idiot but I loved the little bits of chemistry I studied in university.
