Motivation in chemistry?

Hmmmm, I really don't know. I want good grades obviously. But for some of the things in class that we learn I actually want to know it. I mean, it's always good to know stuff right? I'll grow up and impress someone with the correct ratio to make water pipette rockets... haha. I mean, I'll probaby forget most of this stuff by the end of highschool. So, I guess right now its all about grades. I need good ones to...you know...shove it in my friends' faces ;). Also, my parents are all about "A"s. It's probably because of them that I stress out over getting "A"s so much. I mean they think that those kinds of grades are everything. So if I don't want to be grounded than I need good grades. To be honest that is motivation enough. I am interested in some stuff though. Like stoichiometry cause i actually get it. If there is even a little chance of me understanding something I'm usually motivated to actually try cause I get interested. So that is basically the extent of my motivation.

THIS ISNT FUNNY LOSER IM BORED. Just kidding I totally lol'ed during my reading of this, which you were definitely sitting next to me during. Um you're lucky that if you're good at something you try harder. I try less because why would I want to try? You know what I mean. I'll TALK TO YOU SOON like in under .02 miliseconds because apparently I talk that quickly like the cute ferret leper that I am :)
