Chem
Okay okay, here's a new, lame video blog. So anyway, this was an attempt to spice up an otherwise dull lab experiment. We're so mature, I know.

Boring science explanation: The top layer is HCl in cyclohexane, and the bottom layer is HCl in distilled water. We were testing solutions for conductivity. The HCl in water conducts electricity because water is a very polar solvent, and it causes the HCl to form H+ and Cl- ions, which are excellent conductors.
And that, my friend, is why I'm one of 5 people getting an A in the class (sorry, I need to gloat because people in our class think we're ditzy; but really, we're kicking ass, academically speaking).

So that would be the dorky side of you...which is still pretty funny and cool. :)
I don't know what the hell is HCI which is why I quit Chem the first chance I got. But at least you made class...a little interesting. :)
Too fun. And more importantly, you're back! Yay! I made a holy mess in chemistry class. Turned my fingertips rock hard once, too. I didn't get an A.
That was a super-awesome video!
I find its best to be ditzy, hot and a genius, and you fine ladies are both.
yeah! SCIENCE!
wow... that made my day... possibly my week! okay maybe not my week... definately my day. =P.
btw i forgot to brag before... my army hat has three pockets. beat that! Oooooo! =O.
yeah, science facts are useful :P
so.much.giggling
I am glad I am not the only one who thinks science is fun. I remember many of my experiments not adding up to what the textbooks said they should. Such fun. Now I get to teach that stuff and more to people who don't want to learn. It's like being in a mythological Greek hell.
Gday from a dude in Australia...
Cheers and keep up the good work and the good times
don't be shy about your ultimate coolness annie, we all know you totally are!

yujuuu!!! new video, new video!!! ^^
And you say that classes are boring?
you should take a look on mines, beauty... ;)
And continue Kicking asses ;)
tell'em who is the one!!
(academically speaking...)
hrmmm all that giggling makes me wonder if there weren't some esters floating around too
and you were on what when you made this one ? :)
Hahaha, you guys rock. I love how you chose not to edit out that little part in the beginning, Annie, before you had technically "started". So cute!
Funny post....Just remember, "The Geek shall inherit the Earth"...(I know...but it sounds good anyway) :o)
ahh you gotta love those ions :|
jUSTINE IS FABULAS
no lab coats? shit! you crazy, isn't cyclohexane hardcore stuff too?
