Yo whats up people I just transferred to my new course just this week on the 4th of May, which is Nanotechnology and Materials Science. Was accepted because, as I was told, my Chemistry score for O Levels was pretty good. My new classmates seem pretty friendly and I think I'll be fine here though I'd say it's still too early to tell if they'll become my friends. I don't know them all that well yet. So here it is, my farewell to all my friends of DGAD, definitely going to miss you guys because I really hate new long-term environments and it usually takes me a couple months to get comfortable. I know I kind of left without saying goodbye but well, I'm not so good with that.
Interesting to note, most of my other course mates seem to be really full of shit. But good thing my class seems fine.
So I just watched an old video by Veritasium as part of an assignment and was just mildly annoyed by how stupid and ignorant some people are that they don't even know what water is made up of or the states of matter. It's not a poor African child who can't afford school here, it's a very obviously middle class white girl as well as several other adults in their 20s and 30s. For fuck's sake the girl called a water molecule "the little circles of oxygen". Yes, because that's all that's in a water molecule, H2O. She can't even name hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, off the back of her head and it's really just wow. What the fuck do you even do in school. Some people can't even afford to go to school. And then some asshat in the comment section defending that she does not need such knowledge for life. Sure, she doesn't. It won't kill her but still this is high school/secondary school knowledge, it's so basic.
So that's pretty much it, just a really small update and rant about ignorance. Wonder if any of my new classmates will find this.
