Oh, I want to ask folks here a question, in connection with a project I've been thinking about off and on the last few months. the question is...what do you think, in general, about the subject of #chemistry?

and I mean, _any_ thoughts at all. I want all the answer. think chemistry is the worst subject you had in school? let me know about it! do you think it's a dismal, second-rate science? that's cool too. if you think it's interesting chiefly because you get to set things on fire, I want to hear that as well :p

@kara_dreamer I think of Mr. Genari, my eleventh grade chemistry teacher. He was very old, looked like Ben Franklin and used an old-style overhead projector for his notes.

@srol was he any good? like, I've had a pretty cool 11th-grade chem teacher but he actually wasn't that great at teaching XD

@kara_dreamer I'm not sure whether it was he wasn't a very good teacher or that I had undiagnosed sleep apnea at the time and was constantly falling asleep in his classes.

@srol depends on whether you stayed awake in _other_ classes perhaps...

@kara_dreamer It was always a problem, but he was at a disadvantage for a few reasons. His was the first class of the day at 8:05 and by this point I had been awake since 6 to catch my bus.

And also, back then, I didn't have much confidence when it came to math and science and tended to write them off as classes I would do poorly in compared with the humanities.

@srol ah, gotcha. yeah, I'd say "bit from column A, bit from column B" there...I'm guessing he was a bit of a droner, too.
