Feeling........ Faint..............

Chemistry practical today, involved testing of gases. Me and Wayne bumbled along the whole time, both of us getting the same items for the same experiment at least twice. Nothing really went to well, our splint didn't make a peep when held over hydrogen, and the blue litmus paper turned red when held over it. Thinking we had made a scientific breakthrough, we rushed to question Mr Tang over this strange abnormality, only to discover that Wayne's hands were more acidic than normal today. Managed to force the limewater to turn chalky in the carbon dioxide test by adding about 4 full droppers of acid into it. Not bad, considering Mr Tang couldn't coax the desired effect yesterday. Oxygen test went well, but we couldn't get the sulphur dioxide test to work. In the end, I was making green fire by burning copper carbonate on the Bunsen burner. Some idiot left two Bunsen burners running at full blast and unlighted at the next table.

I think inhaling all that gas did something to my head because right in the middle of the Chinese test in the next period, my head felt sandwiched between a pneumatic clamp. Didn't help that that terrible Pro-life talk was on at PSE lesson. A campaign talk supposedly to educate us on life, sex, abortion and all that which stretched over 3 very painful weeks. At first, I had a small sense of respect for the logic behind it, but today just sent it all spiraling towards the ground. The final chapter today was on abortion, which included some extremely gory scenes of aborted foetuses, foetuses being aborted and disposed of, and the anti-abortionist protests being victims of police brutality. When the entire auditorium let out a collective gasp of horror at one picture, he thought we were laughing at it. The worst bit is, although he claimed to be neutral, take a look at what he said.

Presenter : To support Pro-life ideas, one must reject and disapprove of Embryonic Stem Cell research, In-Vitro Fertilization, Abortion, Contraception, (I can't remember the rest)

Me : What the f*** is wrong with IVF?

(As if by magic and he heard me)

Presenter : By using IVF, the couple is instrumentalizing the child, and it is no longer unconditional love, and the child has become an instrument to fulfill your needs.

Me : Right..... You just said a minute ago that nature's main objective for females is to have children, and if a woman goes for abortion, she destroys that objective and hurts herself. So why shouldn't a woman help herself live up to her purpose by going for IVF if she can't have kids naturally you self-contradicting f***tard.

By the way, ECSR doesn't even require foetuses anymore, if one reads medical journals enough.

On his evaluation sheet

(I took the stand of Guthix and the U.N here)

Your opinion of this course

IVF is a bloody saviour for infertile couples, and I think they'd love their kids like any natural parent, and ECSR doesn't require embryos anymore, so you people have run out of reasons to stop the discovery of potential medical miracles by opposing stem cell research.

This course was as neutral as nitric acid.

I'm pretty against abortion, but I don't see anything wrong about IVF and ESCR. The viewing material shown was also a little, well, controversial to say the least. Blue Lagoon and the Hard Truth to 15 year olds?? Not sure thats even legal mate. Can't believe he's alumni.

My headache exacerbated, no thanks to that horror show, and the journey back home started seemed like crossing the Alps. When distance starts to go out of focus, I know I'm in trouble. When I finally got home with Bryant's help, I just collapsed on the couch, and slept from 3 to 9. Luckily most of its cleared up by now. Going to sleep now, hopefully the migraine doesn't act up again, there's a match I really want to play in on Wednesday.

Runescape stuff

Once again, I flamed demon-girl 666 on the clan forums today. For goodness sake, she thinks Tim finds her annoying, despite him making at least two posted apologies, so I laid it out very clearly for her in simple words what the hell was that situation. Though I do regret calling her eccentric, and having to explain to her it meant odd, weird, strange because she didn't understand, and now she took it as an insult. Crazy Aussie girls...... Anyway, after leveling both Strength and Defense, I'm 0.05 levels away from a combat level up, according to the calculator.
