Being a poor highschool student doesn't help much, either. I suppose if I had the resources, I would perform experiments for my own enjoyment. I plan on going into Science Journalism or something else where I can work indirectly with Chemistry as a career. Until I graduate from highschool, I have limited resources, especially because I can't say to my mother "I'll need your kitchen today because I'll be working with dangerous chemicals." We live in a cheap little apartment - definitely not suitable for real chemicals to enjoy real expiriments. Liquid Nitrogen was fun in my Chem class last year, though.
