    hmm... since im 99% sure that i failed my college prep chemistry class
this year, i will get to take it next year! YAY... rarr, i really wanted to
take physics, though every single chemistry and physics teacher retired this
year... an all new lineup, but the new chemistry teacher worked at my school
for a few months and he is cool.

    so if i have chemistry next year, i think i'll have to do some extra
credit and see if i could be allowed to record some basic additive and
dividitive [?] chemical synthesis... :P the amplified saltwater reaction on
the aluminuim would be fun to try with different metals or solutions too
    maybe with contact mics on the side of containers and sealed electret
mics to stick in the solutions... i could make a term paper out of it!
