ADD in Chemistry
FOUND by Madeline
in Tucson AZ
I found this laying on a table at a MacDonald’s restaurant one afternoon years ago now. I just had to pick it up. Seems like some kid decided not to do their chemistry worksheet. I especially like the nitrite-eating monster.
I hope the teacher let them off easy, probably because the whole page reminds me of myself as a kid.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
.."Not now, son! I'm making toast!"
I like the "I'm not easily distra-- Oooh! Shiny!"
Are plushies those people who get off dressing up like stuffed animals (and/or doing people dressed up like stuffed animals)?
cuz otherwise it looks like something about the bra find. Oopsie.
The marginal notes are way more informative than the class notes.
Shades of my Sociocultural Anthropology notebook...LOL
"Certain elements like to be in the middle." Novel approach to teaching chemistry! "Why does this molecule have this structure? Because it LIKES it this way!"
"I know I'm not like the other nitrogen molecules, but--I dunno. I just wanted something different."
You got it, nitro.
way to go!
this looks just like all my own notes from the chemistry (&physics) classes :P
"I have plenty of common sense... I just choose to ignore it."
It is my experience that common sense isn't so common. But, perhaps I'm just surrounded by people who choose to ignore it. *shrug*
Someone went and ruined a bunch of perfectly good doodles with some nonsense about Electron structures.... stoopid!!
I love the 'years ago' statement ... Invader Zim started around 2001???
I used to shoot kids down for saying such lines (the distracted one and the common sense one) because they'd try to play it off as their original wit, when really every kid in the 7th(ish) grade said those things. They thought they were so clever, and it peeved me. Is that mean?
Anyway, I really love the monster feeding on nitrite.
But you have to love all the tiny people running for their lives across the title.
@Mountain Girl:
They're not running for their lives, they're just taking steps for writing Lewis Structures.
@Erp: Yeah, thanks for catching that. I couldn't see the forest for the trees if my life depended on it.
At first glance, to me anyway, those wee ones looked absolutely terrified.
Mountain Girl: LOVE the running people.
I found myself reading the chemistry notes. I never took it in college and it is a good thing.
Monty Python rox my sox, too.
I KNEW THERE WAS NOT AN "A"!!!
Baahhh - I spit on plushies too! Stupid little cute blue teddy bears.
Note to self: Pick up a quart of coffee for next weekend's party. See what happens.
@ my brain a sploded:
No, you're thinking of furries. Plushies are those little cheaply-produced stuffed versions of cartoon characters you sometimes find in crane machines.
My chemistry teacher used to talk about the "likes" and "dislikes" of molecules, too. I think the anthropormorphization is supposed to make it easier to learn...
All chemistry and colorful comments aside, anybody else think this whole thing was just created specifically to be found and commented on? I'm not suggesting the submitter did it, but the original creator definitely wanted this to be found and paid attention to. I bet they fantasized about what people would say about it and how clever the notes were.. The whole thing to just too "UN" random...
I don't think the student has ADD. She's just bored silly because the teacher has to pace the class for the slow kids. (Probably also wouldn't write down the ADD joke she'd recently heard, either.) Anyway, where's that gifted education when we need it??
Also, those bad luck doodles over in the margin? I think they're stains left from a dried up puddle of doom.
Yum! gotta love a bit of the old Nitrite!
You guys have it all wrong. The chemistry teacher was clearly enjoying a Big Mac at McDonalds while adding vital marginal notes to the outdated worksheet he (or she) had to present to the class.
And thank goodness for that too, because everyone knows that a few years ago they improved the Lewis Structure for nitrite by adding an ion eating dragon.
It's very basic science, people. What a shame that he left it behind, the students are missing out on important stuff...
Damn. Another basket of electrons to fold. I thought I was done.
I can totally see myself doodleing such things next year!
MacDonalds? Is that a tucson only business? Never heard of 'em.
I love the little people running across the steps for writing!
maybe it's just that i'm ignoring my common sense or the quart of coffee....but i love this find! may be 'cause i'm doodle crazy....
CAN'T SIGN IN - WANT TO SAVE - MUST SAVE...BAH!
Finsterton Smythe, i think you are wrong. I used to do stupid random things like this in school all the time, and never with intent of someone else having a good time reading it later on. plus, if the creator were indeed wanting someone to find this and be amused wouldnt they want it to be a little more..i dont know...interesting? this is obviously just boredom at its worst.
Nice to know Monty Python is still cool, lol.
I used to doodle like this in school as well, especially in chemistry class. I discovered the Beatles when I was in high school and made an elaborate drawing of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in my chemistry notebook one day. I would also cover the covers of notebooks with tiny little circles or maze-like swirly lines.
Librarian has hit the nail on the head. I was paying attention as much as I needed to.
Magnify = make bigger.
Please?
