Snails are Stressful

The weeks have been stressful. I mean really stressful. Do you want tot know the most stressful part? Snails. Snails that don't breath!

A couple weeks of go, my science teacher gave everyone on the class a jar full of water plants and snails. Or mission was to determine which one of the two did photosynthesis, and which one breathed. I'll be honest, I thought I knew where the experiment was going to go.

I had a dye that would turn the water blue there was photosynthesis, yellow if there was breathing, and green if there was equal parts of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.

Can I just say, my snails were defective. In the three days that I tested and tested those snails. the water never once turned yellow. Always BLUE! Sure the plants did what they were supposed to. They were photosynthesising even in the dark, but those snail....Nothing.

I'll be honest. In the weeks of stress and uncertainty that I've gone through, those snails have really put it over the top. The snails really stressed me out. I've got mutated snails that whatever I did, wouldn't ever breathe! Sometimes life is really hard. The only thing that consoled me was the fact that i got the same messed up results and everyone else in the class.

P.S. While the snails not breathing really confused my teacher, so did the plants, photosynthesising. Apparently when we left the plants were supposed to turn the water green. Indicating that the plants were breathing. Go figure.
