I'm no scientist, but I do know that when potassium comes into contact with water, or the moisture in the air, it will explode, or something to that effect. A loud bang that everybody within earshot will hear. That's why in the labs they coat potassium with a thin layer of oil so that there's a delay in it's reaction time. Why am I suddenly talking about elements when I hate them?
Chemistry. What do we think of when we hear this word? Labs, chemicals, experiments. When two people click and are in love what do we say they have? Chemistry. Mixing potassium and water creates this reaction an explosion which everyone notices, and thinks is pretty cool. But what happens when potassium and water are left alone? Water, an essential to living. Potassium, left in a test tube, coated with oil, to prevent interaction. Some people go through life never even having heard of potassium, but nobody will die without knowing what water is.
I've been searching for internships in Singapore for the past few days, and have found a few, but it's either been not to my liking, or demands qualifications that I do not have. I hate looking for jobs, I hate having exams late, I hate making people wait, I hate thinking there's nothing else to study, I hate studying the same thing over and over, I hate the feeling of hate.
