Resolution #353: Buy A Chemistry Set And See What Happens...

Date: 12-19-2014

Due Date: 12-19-2015

The Resolution: I've always been a fan of the theories and philosophy of science. I read books and watch documentaries about scientists but when it comes to actual physical science I don't know all that much.

I took basic science in high school but didn't pay that much attention. The only thing I faintly remember is a teacher once put raisins in Mountain Dew and told us the raisins were some form of sewage treatment thing and that the Mountain Dew was supposed to be urine. 

The raisins appeared to swim up and down as if they were alive and the teacher finished the lesson off by drinking the concoction.

To this day I have no idea what I was supposed to have learned there but I will always remember the showmanship.

I also remember dissecting owl vomit to find mouse bones.

I think it's time for me to stop just yelling SCIENCE and start learning what it actually is. 

Result #353: I Failed To Afford A Chemistry Set So I Won't Be Breaking Bad Any Time Soon…

Update #1: The Conclusion.

Date: 12-19-2015

Maybe if I were actually interested in the drugs from Breaking Bad… I'd be more motivated to learn chemistry. Fortunately… the only drugs I'm interested in grows naturally, and I have a card that gives me the ability to just call up and have whatever I need delivered right to my door... AND IT'S LEGAL!!!

That said I'm still interested in learning chemistry. I'm not fully sure what I would use it for other than maybe creating dry ice or maybe trying to find a culinary use for the techniques I learn.

I don't know, I think I'm more interested in just having Bunsen Burners and beakers filling my room like a mad scientist and I just want this to have a valid excuse to wear a lab coat more often.

Who knows, maybe I'll figure something out someday and as always I'll keep you posted if I do.
