angst woe (school troubles, help needed)

[Madamluna]

I have a horrible work ethic. This is true. I'm also in my freshman year of high school, the kind where you get four/five classes a day. This is Bad because my first semester I had NOTHING but easy classes--Drama, English, PE, Software Apps and Health. I coasted by the whole entire first half of the year with a 3.8 GPA. Now, of course, I have the worst possible combination of Hell-borne classes anyone could ever despair for in their wildest nightmares (at least, for a left-brained person like me who is more concerned with the arts than the Pythagorean Theorem): US History, Biology, Geometry and French II Honors.

These classes are completely and totally unforgiving. If you miss one or two days, it's a mad scramble to get back up; I missed four due to my goddamn nose surgery some time ago, and I'm still feeling the repercussions. While I was out my batsalsa insane Biology teacher assigned us (among several other things because she's a Nazi) to do a Science Fair project, despite the fact that the Science Fair was over months ago.

It is this Science Fair project that I DESPERATELY DESPERATELY need help on. My original plan was to do how the ingestion of energy drinks affects DDR performance, but to do that well I'd have to have about TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE DRINKING TWENTY DRINKS A NIGHT. Twenty Red Bulls a night x 200 people = Luna being labeled as a potato ing mass murderer due to 200 simultaneous heart attacks, so I can't really do that. My only other idea for this was to compare the asbestos levels of abandoned mental hospitals, but I'm a pussy and watched Session 9, so in fear of being killed by my dad or something I'm not doing that.

I already missed my Research Plan for my topic (good because, like I said, my original topic is goddamn impossible), but my Revised Research Plan is due on the nineteenth. I can probably get both in and get substantial credit, IF I can find a suitable topic. Getting the most information in the most plausible yet convenient way is most important here: if it's not on a grand scale and involving human volunteers/animals I'm all up for it. When it comes time to do the cough-cough "procedures" I can probably fudge the data and get my way if I end up getting into a jam again. The raw data (fictional if need be) and results (written-up versions of data) are due on the 24th and 28th of May, respectively.

Right now all I need from you, my dear and faithful viewers out there in the great interconnected wired web of cyberspace, are topic suggestions, ESPECIALLY ones that have worked in the past for those of you in a situation similar to this. These should be at least semi-professional, not stuff made out of matchsticks, but throw any and all ideas at me. I'd rather have too many than too little.

IN RETURN, because I know you guys deservedly want something out of this and I respect that, I will repay you with a free artwork commission in whatever media you desire except non-watercolor paint of whatever ASOUE-related person, coupling or thing you want, one per person, OR one per every superawesome kickass idea if someone has more than one. The user who gets the idea that I eventually go with, if I do decide to go with one from 667, will get...damn, I'm not sure. I'm considering a fanfic of anything except D/V/Q, but fanfics take really long to do and when I'm in the groove, I'm a veritable artwork machine.

Well, you should try testing the vitamin C level in citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruits) or else pick 2 local restaurants, and find how many germ colonies live in he boy's and girl's bathrooms... To find out how to do both, look it up on the net...

[Madamluna]

KICKASS0RY MY GOOD FRIEND. The Vitamin C one I'll have to add a few more steps to (it can't just be comparing. I'll have to flesh it out like "this will help the world by..." but that'll be easy), and that restaurant one sounds pretty good. You've earned yourself a free commission.

You could try a psychology experiment but you need victims. I mean, er...victims. Yeah. You give them sour milk and see if and how long they refuse to drink milk in general, and if they drink fresh milk, ask them if they felt that it didn't taste the same. That happened to me. I drank sour milk accidentally and I couldn't drink milk for a month. Then, when I did drink fresh milk, it tasted icky. Now, every time I drink milk, I get the taste of rotteness...
Or you can try fun hamster experiments. See if a hamster will try to get out of a tube thing faster if there's food at the end of it. Or put two piles of food, one large and one small, and see which one it goes to. Or put two piles of food and poke it every time it goes to the first one or second one and see if it learns not to go to that one.
Or you could gather all your friends that are boys and friends that are girls, have them take IQ tests, average the grades together and see which group is smarter.

Do Osmosis. I actually won the Biology section of the school science fair last year, surprising everyone in school because they all knew that I did almost no work on the project. Here's what you do:

You find a few items (vegetables, eggs, other natural foods) and pose a question. Mine was "What factors take effect on Osmosis" or something like that. Anyway all you do is you take your stuff (I did carrot, egg, and and without shell) and you do a couple trials with each (one trial in salt water, one in sugar, and one in tap water.) You basically just record the changes of the stuffs mass from before the trial and after. Pretty easy. But I won because they said I showed perfect understanding of the scientific procedure.

Dont' do psychological stuff. They rarely win, because... well I don't know really. Psychological high school science fair projects will always be weaker than the ones with hard data. Like this one STUPID girl did something about depression. Yeah right. It was really bad.
