Oh yeah. I just remembered that I had to do a summary yesterday. Sorry!!!!!

Newton's laws dictated that the earth was not completely spheric, but slightly bulging at the equator, which was a shock to everybody, since it was commonly accepted that the earth was perfectly spherical. A French team went to the Andes to test this theories out, and in typical French form, faced many difficulties for several long, arduous years. Another team went to northern Scandinavia, and, along with tales of their own difficulties, brought back measurements that proved that Newton was right.
There was also an international collaboration to track a transit of planets, but this collaboration was illfated from the start, especially the French. Many of them didn't manage to reach their position in time, and one was stuck in sea at the time. He waited for several years, building a conservatory, checking and rechecking his equipment, only to have a cloud ruin all his work for all these years. After arriving back in France, he discovered that he was declared legally dead, and his estate plundered by his relatives.

I'm sure our AS teacher is being indundated with complaints about too much homework, and I agree with everybody else too.

Ugh, Namie Amuro's "CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK" (yes, its completely capitalized) is stuck in my head. And I'm not anywhere near finished studying for science...
