CHEMISTRY IS HARD!

     Chemistry is really really hard and I am about to go crazy trying to remember everything from it. We are learning all these new elements right now and we have to remember them by Wednesday or else I will fail the test and get a bad grade :(.  So if you have any advice please help me by adding a comment to my blog :). Thanks to you all who help me.
     The elements we are learning are really weird so it is hard to remember. A few of them are in Latin so their symbol is in latin and it is really different from the word. We are learning 50 of them in a week and it seems impossible so I really don't believe in myself right now. Some of the words we are learning are Radon, Helium, Oxygen, Iodine, Gold, Silver, Tungsten, and a lot more. Some of the element's symbols are completely different from the word like Sodium is Na and it is really confusing.
     So if you have any advice, please please please please help me :*(. I am studying but I need some way to remember them and learn them so help me people or ELSE. Thanks :)

Pollution Video

       2 days ago in English class, we watched a short video about pollution and it was telling us about how bad we were polluting our enviroment. I seen so much trash and it is really hurting our enviroment. We need to stop polluting in order to keep our world safe and keep it alive. We are making it hard to live on Earth because of all this trash.
       The Earth is just becoming a big trash dump and its all our fault. So many animals die from this trash and we need to stop so we can save our planet and animals on it. For example, small birds were found dead with lots of litter in them like bottle caps and plastic items and those things caused their death. A small bird was found with over 50 things found in its stomach. We need to stop this.
       If we just stop using these "throw-aways" then our world wouldnt be like this. We can stop this if we start recycling instead of throwing stuff away all the time. We are destroying the Earth and we CAN STOP THIS!! Just start recycling and we can fix our Earth and save the planet and animals.

The Marine Veteran Video.

This video was really sad and that guy went through a lot of things at war. He faced so many challenges at war and had to come back to the U.S with so many problems. The war changed him so much and he is so mentally sick from it. He even tried to tell the government about what they need to do to help Vets. But they just kind of ignored him and told him to go on with his day. This war needs to stop and the government needs to start caring for the people who fought for them and all their beliefs.

This guy had suicidal thoughts because of what he went through and no one even knew how to help him. He was so mentally sick from war and it even cost him to lose the love of his life because of his sickness. He was just giving up on trying to live and it was just really sad that no one could help this poor guy. He even joined a biker gang so he could sort of have the feeling of being in a group like the one he was in while he was at war. He really had no one to help him and he was all alone.

I feel sorry for him and I hope he gets better. The pictures of his life were so incredible though. They were great pictures and they were also sad. Some of the pictures were sad and with him in the background talking about it, just made it sadder. This video is really good and if you haven't watched it then you should!
