A Curious Girl: Thoughts from a double chemistry lesson

How does my mind work? Well, here's a running commentary on yesterday's chemistry lesson. Dunno why, for some reason I find my own butterfly mind amusing.

-Right, I'm sure he explained this.

-Was I listening?

-I ought to listen more.

-It's so noisy and yet no-one in this room is making a sound. It's like watching TV with the wrong soundtrack.

-OK, is that order 2? I've never heard of order 4

-But that would make it order 3 and I've only heard of order 1 and order 2.

-Why is Nadine asking me this? I don't know myself

-I'm not going to get this done in time

-The way Mr. JE moves his hands reminds me of an ape of some kind.

-An orangutan?

-But orangutans are huge and stocky and orange, and he's tall, skinny and wearing white. What kind of animal would he be?

-A stick insect?

-No, a grasshopper.

-What's Dr. C? A rabbit maybe?

-Best get down to work.

-What's a Winchester Bottle?

-Water bath? What water bath?

-Oh, that water bath!

-Suitable size beaker for a 1dm^3 rounded flask? 600cm^3 ought to do it.

-Wait, wouldn't a 1dm^3 flask displace a decimeter cubed of water? I'd need more than a decimeter cubed beaker to put it in. But they don't make beakers that big.

-Why has Mr. L (art teacher) gathered a bunch of poor lower-school students out in the cold outside?

-Why am I bothered about it?

-People look so strange when you can't hear what they're saying.

-He looks so phoney. I mean, his arms are doing all his expressions for him. It's so exaggerated. It's so fake. Can any of his students see it?

-Is he telling them off or are they going to do some drawing outside?

-Wrong sort of weather for it, really.

-He looks like a public speaker, or an evil overlord commanding his minions. He really needs a soundtack.

-"You! You, scum-of-the-earth, you shal infiltrate Decker's troops and bring us information. You! You shall plant the bomb when the moment is right. And then we shall rule the world!"

-Anyway, Chemistry. This flask. Is this question really relevant? Who cares?

-What does he want me to do a graph of? Give me some data!

You can see why I don't do too well in those lessons.
