Agreed. Who the heck wants to know how you convert ethanol into propanoic acid...*

No, ethanol is a 2-carbon chain while propanoic acid is a 3-carbon chain. You react it with HCN with KCN as catalyst, then add concentrated sulphuric acid then water.*

I got a B and I never studied for the tests, never took notes, and copied the homework.

I'm just shit at math.

I ace my History, English, and Art courses without hardly even being in class. I think I had significantly over 100% in my Creative Writing II course. Same in History, iirc.

I do fairly well in my science courses...the math parts are what kick my ass and make it harder for me. I'm really really bad at algebraic math. Geometry was my bitch, but algebra and precal were my arsenic.
