2) I think that spending your life learning random things about the environment has its positives and negatives. One of its positives is that answering these questions could lead us to other discoveries. For example, discovering how an ocean creature maintains its phosphorescent glow in the pitch-black ocean depths could lead to other discoveries to help human kind. Another reason it is good is that i find the answers to these random questions are fascinating and I among many other people could probably spend hours learning this kind of stuff.
Scientists spending their lives answering these questions also has negatives. I feel that these scientists could be doing something like curing cancer or creating a more efficient and environmentally-friendly car. These people are just answering random inquiries that scientists have rather than fixing the world's scientific problems. I think in the short run finding the answers to these questions can be interesting but in the long run it really does nothing for the world.

I think honors chem is going very well up to this point. I think our class meshes well, and although it is a small group, it is very diverse. I also like how we have opportunities to work problems out for ourselves as a class instead of having Mrs. V just tell us how it is done. I also like how in this class our homework is all do on the day of the test so you have freedom in when you actually have to do it. The one bad part about this is i usually wait until the night before the test to do most of the homework. Another positive about being in this honors chem class is that in lab we have fun but we still get our work done. The one thing I want to do in the next 2 terms is try working with different lab partners. I think i had a successful term 1 and hope to keep it up in term 2.
