:O went for chemistry tuition today and i'm now in deep confusion~ plus i was feeling quite sleepy so i was all blur when teacher was teaching -.-

today we started off with a new subtopic of chapter 2, ALCOHOL which actually has a general formula *.* doesn't alcohol only drunk people? and more alcohol make someone blind drunk? and more more alcohol make someone roaring drunk? what is there for us to study???

well that was what i thought. and haha i'm soooo wroooong! as the lesson started, she went on and on and on... so much that we need to know about that one lil part of alcohol :( and there's one thing i just couldn't understand. there's this preparation of ethanol which involves distillation. before the distillation, teacher said water which has a boiling point of 100 degrees celcius is able to condense faster as compared to the ethanol with 78 degrees celcius as the boiling point. basically, this is how we get pure ethanol (i think).

BUT i don't get it! why does water condense faster when it actually has a higher boiling point? shouldn't the ethanol gets boiled first and then condense happily even before the water did o.O looks like my brain cells are functioning in an extremely slow pace. because even after a thousand times *hiperbola* of explainations from both huei-wen & samuel... i still don't get it. anyway, i got over it already la, i'll find out why the next time i need to answer a question related to this theory :)

i need a longer break. or more like i want a longer break! actually, life without school will be bored stiff. and i really enjoy myself at school :) heh, i don't feel like attending school merely because i know for sure we will get tons of homework and each passing day means getting closer to the end of form5 :'( ohno.
