After today, I have officially past the activated complex as I had the required ∆G to pass through the exams - well this were if I were a molecule anyway. At this point I only have to increase my temperature to increase the proportion of molecules above the activation energy - as shown by the below Maxwell-Boltzmann Diagram.

To have the same effect I can consume a catalyst that would speed up the rate of reaction as well - due to the increased number of molecules above the required kinetic energy. Something like that anyway... I'm done with chemistry and will not touch it for another year I think, unless I don't get a 5 or I take a year 2 course. Yay! Seriously there are the days where I really wonder why I took HL Chem.
Enough of the chemistry analogies and its a dynamic change in gears to biology & french. I can't think of anything to make a gag yet since I haven't started studying. I'm sure in the next couple posts there will be some biology gags. Then people are going to read this and comment how 8-| I have become over the years living in Hong Kong - it's just part of the process of IB. The living of IB subjects day and night, the ability to foster connections between subjects and to apply to the world is their goal. I'm sure by now I have reached those, well if I haven't I still have my whole life to explore what they truly meant by being an 'IB student' - or - I never will?
