04.06.09 >> Ecology
Today I had class with. An ecology class. The assignment was a rather odd one, in which I had to use animal crackers to explain the food chains and various energy points on it. I have to say, it wasn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. For all I've studied biology and poisons, I'm not exactly a fan of the food chains, though I met quite the interesting boy in class.
It was a nice change of pace. His name is Canaan and he seems like an interesting boy. He did say some strange things though. Things like how the bear was his brother. Somehow, that felt very abnormal. I do not have a brother, and if I did, he would not be a bear. I'm not quite sure what I've learned from this, but perhaps I shouldn't go to class on an empty stomach anymore.
It takes too long...

Teh Zan Student name: Nathaniel Jacobson Path: Offensive Pharmacist Class name: Chemistry Source of Life Chemistry, however abstract it may be, is the most basic and perhaps most ancient science known to mankind. However, because it is so "down to the ground", so to speak, most students have trouble grasping the concepts of lifeless particles making up what is now defined as life. Being a devoted science student, you must somehow overcome this challenge. How do you do it? Memorize the textbook, or some other innovative learning methods? Whatever method you have used, did you succeed in learning atoms and molecules in the end?

10.08.09 >> Chemistry CRP
Chemistry. The basics of everything to be learned in this simplistic sounding sub-category of science. Of course, anyone who knows it well would never claim it to be simple, or even a sub category. Without chemistry, some might even claim there would be no science at all. Nathaniel, a British lad whose entire career basis was to be with poisons and the chemical mixtures concerning them, was one of these people. And so, proper education in the category was not simply a must.
It was the only option.
However, the idea was partially daunting. Though Nat had done this in bits and pieces over the last few years of his life, in fact, for the majority of his life, he still couldn't help but be unnerved by what was left to learn. There was just so much that he hadn't gotten to, and it was all difficult and complex. A new level of understanding would have to be achieved, and so as he entered the room with only the slightest of prospects, he took in the surroundings first.
Books, materials, funny plastic models. All the essentials were there, but it was just a matter of taking care of it. It was always easier to have someone to work with, but at this point it just didn't seem possible. It seemed as though he'd have to do it all on his own, just as he always had. No one to bounce ideas off of, and learning through trial and error. But wasn't how the older scientists did it? Some even working in dire secrecy to protect such wonders?
Wandering into the room, the British lad took a seat at the nearest desk, grabbed the closest textbook and held it in front of him: The Basics of Chemistry. Well, he was a little past that, but more official notes wouldn't hurt. Flipping open the book and his own notebook, he began to scribble down notes of the most important topics:
Atom. Element. Compound. Substance. Molecule. Mole. Ion. Salt. Acidity. Basicity. Phase. Redox. Chemical bond. Chemical reaction. Energy. Chemical laws, such as conservation of energy, definite composition, and multiple proportions.
There were endless things that needed to be learned for the absolute perfection when mixing chemicals and trying to create and chemical that could be used for something. Nathaniel smiled in a pleased manner; this would take all day. He'd simply have to devour every book in this room and take notes on all of it. Luckily for him, he'd brought extra notebooks and had an uncanny ability to read quickly.
And so Nat began to work through the list, reading every page of text about certain subjects until he felt sure he understood. If he didn't, then he was quick to grab some materials and perform a lab experiment as dictated in the 'Lab' section of the books. At some point during this, he'd donned the typical lab coat found in a closet (mainly to keep his clothing clean), and the goggles that required safety at all times.
It was fortunate however that, as he grew more tired, he didn't begin blowing things up or dropping them. Towards lunch time, he lifted the goggles above his head and sat staring down at the words that began to blur at the edge of his vision. Even he needed a break, one day couldn't possibly teach him everything. But he'd taken quite a bit of notes, enough about the very basics to go more in depth when he needed.
Slowly though, he felt his eyes drooping as they stared at the book. The page was covered in a diagram concerning the hydrogen molecule and the bonds that held it together. As his fingers ran over the page, he set his head down, and Nat was fast asleep, having learned only a small portion but having realized a great deal more.
Life was interesting, and his most beloved pastime in all the world would make sure it stayed that way.
