♥ The Queen of mass destruction!
I am the Queen of mass destruction! I finally realised that today, that I should never go anywhere near fragile objects.
We were playing with molecule models in Chemistry today. One of those black, white and red gigantic beady looking thing that you connect together to make a compound like ethanol, polymers, etc, etc. First we started off with group work, so we each got a kit among the small groups and did all sorts of weird shapes. Then Mr Wallace aka Wally started calling individuals to go up and put together the models in the front desk to the right compound. When I got called, I went to the front bench and tried to pull off hydrogen from the acid so that I can bond it with the alcohol models but my butter fingers slipped and the left hand swung back against a flask. Of course, a glass flask can never stand against the pressure of a hand that is full of potential energy. So the kinetic energy got transferred from my left hand to the flask and it sent the flask flying across the desk and eventually off the bench. The loud “clank” drummed in my ears. The class in front of me instantly went into a chaos, at that moment I was praying in my mind that the teacher isn’t going to make me pay for the damage. Wally told me to carry on while he cleaned up the mess. I quickly shove the molecule models together in the right position and scampered off the front bench. As I walked pass the rows of desks Darleen turned around to face me and said “Good job, Jenny!” I gave her sarcastic thanks as the reply. No one mentioned anything for the rest of the afternoon, I was glad!
So if you have anything a little bit fragile, don’t put it anywhere near me. Because the chances are I will somehow destroy it. I’m not just clumsy; I’m also a magnet of bad luck.
