<p>ok so you dont like dihydrogen oxide</p>
<p>then just make peace with hydrogen hydroxide</p>
<p>I tried this japanese sparkling apple juice and it was actually pretty good.. Kind of tasted like sprite with a dash of apple :)...</p>
<p>I agree with poignantpianist: root beer rocks. So does ginger ale (has to be canada dry though!),</p>
<p>petter just for loving my beverage i am going to give you a high five</p>
<p><em>high five</em></p>
<p>Omg You Guys Are So Fat.</p>
<p>Soft Drinks??? Pssssshh...orange Juice And Milk For Me Haaaa.</p>
<p>Cider isn't bubbly. Well sprarkling cider is. We have this apple orchard like 2 miles from my house, and in th fall we always buy the cider they make, but its not pasteurized or whatever like the stuff at the store, so it tastes sooo much better, but it turns really fast, and then its "hard cider" which can make you a little tipsy after awhile <em>grins</em></p>
<p>people help!!!!!PLEASE!!!!! <em>begging on my knees</em>
i'm about to die from this heat!!! I just CANT stand it!!!!!! :'(
i wanna go back to Russia...right now
how can anyone (a northern guy, actually) survive in this oven called Socorro or NYC????
please, PLEASE, i am BEGGING you, PLEASE help me out!!! :)</p>
<p>I'm sooo bringing a fan</p>
<p>And apparently there's some way to make coldpacks out of jello-mix? I was talking to one of my friends who used to live in Australia, and she said that hikers and people like that would make this gelatinous mixture in a plastic bag for like when they got hurt, obviously, but sometimes just to battle the heat.</p>
<p>the reaction of water and ammonium nitrate is quite endothermic</p>
<p>NH4NO3(s) + H2O(l) + heat ? NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq) </p>
<p>ice paks yep</p>
<p>oh bring two fans, one for your desks, and one for the room</p>
<p>someone bring a fan for the lounge too, because it probably gets really muggy in there</p>
<p>dont forget to bring an electric fan, i recommed the fold up portable ones that take up about 1/6 of a luggage box</p>
<p>the a/c in our house is supposedly ineffective</p>
<p>... but if its so endothermic, why do you have to put Jell-o in the fridge so it gets all.... jell-o-y???</p>
<p>I'm going to have to go talk to my Chem teacher about this tomorow....</p>
<p>I think I'm going to have to bring 1 fan, and carry it around with me, because there's no way I'll be able to fit 2 fans, books, clothes and all the zillions of other items that are on the packing list into one suitcase (and a carryon bag too I geuss)</p>
<p>you can always have parents mail the stuff to you and then mail it back b4 leaving so as to not go over the luggage weight limit</p>
<p>thats what im doing with my books and such</p>
<p>well if you are bringing those old fashioned fans that rotate and are humongous, yea they take up too much space, but im probably bringing one of those fans that are folding so you can fit them vertically in a relatively thin box but are pretty powerful</p>
<p>oh and no one should bring a fan equipped with an air ionizer as it creates ozone levels way above EPA standards</p>
<p>oh and no one should bring a fan equipped with an air ionizer as it creates ozone levels way above EPA standards</p>
<p>Tree hugger...</p>
<p>actually, its not the trees that get harmed but humans who breathe the ozone</p>
<p>I thought the ozone that mattered was like...really high up in the sky. Yeah I think we should be more worried about the sun cooking us all than dying from ozone suffocation hahahahaha.</p>
<p>There'll probably be no trees in New Mexico though. That's okay...cacti look cool.</p>
<p>I don't think there are very many cacti in New Mexico either.</p>
<p>no no ozone can be irritating to the lungs, can intensify allergies, and can result in lung cancer if continuously breathed</p>
<p>after a thunderstorm, you smell a lot of ozone because the lightning is powerful enough to ionize the surrounding air</p>
<p>come on mr science guy!</p>
<p>Well we'll all die sometime, right? Don't worry the only fan I have is about a foot tall and a foot wide and it has a big metal cage and blades that rotate around inside it and it swivels around. </p>
<p>There's a type cacti that looks rather like a palm tree in some of the pictures of the buildings and stuff on the New Mexico Tech website <em>grins</em></p>
<p>shadowdance, im shocked you would say such a thing</p>
<p>and no, no worries here..</p>
<p>On the topic of what to bring/not to bring:</p>
<p>What are you bringing that aren't on the packing list? </p>
<p>I'm bringing:
Movies (probably just bringing a cd case full of them, including Grave of the fireflies, and bunch of musicals and stuff)
Fan (thats on the rec. packing list though...)
Posters (and blue painters tape for room decoration purposes)
a watch
a belt
swim goggles
hairbands and clips and barettes and stuff</p>
<p>Myself
Belt
Camera (mostly for aerial photography)
Possibly a DVD or two
Binoculars</p>
<p>Does aerial photography mean taking pictures from inside of a plane? or pictures of planes? or sitting on the ground and taking pictures of the sky? or something completely else that I'm missing?</p>
<p>Bringing a camera is a great idea though... I'll have to add that to my list.</p>
