stoichiometry and marcus mumford.

I have a test in Stoichiometry tomorrow. I'm pretty confident that I know most of the stuff, but I still have a lot of work to do until I'm 100% ready. There is some instinsic beauty in a science like stoich, because there is always a perfectly correct answer. You just need to know the process. Which, of course, is the hardest part.

There will come a time/ you'll see, with no more tears/And love will not break your heart/and dismiss your fears/Get over your hill and see/ what you find there/ With grace in your heart/and flowers in your hair.

eminem is brilliant.

even if you don't like eminem, you have to admit that he is an absolute genius with words. take "lose yourself" for example. the rhyme schemes in that song are ridiculous. not only do they have the last-word rhymes, but they have so many intricate inside rhymes in every single line. craziness. seriously, listen to that song from start to finish, and try to tell me that he doesn't know EXACTLY what he is doing, and does it with absolute precision and mastery.

talent is a strange thing.

i've always really respected people who know what they want, are talented in that area, and work to acheive it. i think that is a pretty rare commodity; that talents and passions align.
