Natural Polymers

Natural Polymers relate to our everyday society through so many things. Some natural polymers are found in carpets, hardwood flooring, clothing, paper, cotton, textiles, etc. There are so many things that we have already discussed in our recent discussion board in our class. It was interesting to read in detail about 3 of the long list of natural polymers that we were given. I did mine over carpet, cotton, and hemp rope. If I would have gone into greater detail with my research I could have seen how close natural polymers relate to one another. I think that everything that we have in this world has to come from some kind of chemistry, because nothing can really be made unless we combine two different things to make something new. I think it is really cool how everything we have is even made possible just from chemistry. I never really thought about how much chemistry has influenced our everyday lives until I have taken this class. I feel so much more educated and my range of knowledge has increased, I feel a lot smarter. The Final Exam is in a couple of weeks and I am gonna be honest...I am not ready what so ever. I have been really stressed with school and me starting a new job, I just have so much stuff to memorize from both places I don't know where my head is most of the time. I chose to do my final over Vitamin C and Kodak. I am preparing an outline for my project, or paper. I haven't decided whether or not I am going to write a paper or make a powerpoint. I think that making a powerpoint would be less stressful and since I am mostly just a creative person I think I could have fun with it more that way. I hate to write papers that are boring and I have no interest or really care to whether or not I understand the subject completely. I don’t think that I can say I have any regrets or anything I would take back doing in this class. I feel as though everything happens for a reason and we shouldn’t regret what we do because it was probably what was meant to happen. If things go great for me….then YAY ME! But if not then oh well…..bummer. I guess the real decision for me is whether I am going to do a paper or powerpoint. I guess we shall just see what I have time for and what I feel like at that point in time.
