New Words, Weddings and Milli Moles

Well, I don't have long before I have to leave for a Wedding (not mine, mind you, but a close friend of the family). After this afternoon, my weekend should be very quiet. I don't have much homework and our house guest is leaving after the Wedding. But she'll be back. (That last sentence should be read with a Austrian accent).

Right now my life is filled with musical conundrums and chemical woes. I'll leave if up to you to discover which is giving me the most angst. (I have decided that I am very fond of the word angst and I will try to use it in my daily life as much as possible). This of course can lead to a very new and very wrong word. Angsting. (I try to refrain from coming up with new words, but this one was asking for it). So from now on when chemistry is bothering my, I am angsting about.

As it has been a long time since I have added a chemistry fact here is a whole paragraph on nothing but chemistry (and maybe a bit about antacids).

For you TUMs users out there I am sorry to report that Rolaids is the way to go. I have actually done the experiment in lab last week, that shows that Rolaids is not only cheaper, but also neutralizes more acid than TUMs. Now, I'm sure you are asking, "Does it matter what flavor of Rolaids I use?". Yes, it does matter. Peppermint actually neutralizes 14.5 mmol of acid while, Spearmint only 14.3 mmol. (Peppermint is also slightly cheaper).


Cheers!

Amendment 1: No, infringement is meant on using TUMs or Rolaids.

Amendment 2: TUMs maker: please don't have me quartered for exposing your nasty little secret.

Amendment 3: I will try not to become to angstful, waiting for a letter from a college.
