For a sunday I believe the best way to get stuff done is to just relax the day before and not even touch anything remotely near chemistry. All things considered just rest and be easy.

Well, a negative sign in enthalpy means that the reaction lets off heat like any fire combustion method. Any positive enthalpy usually refers to the reaction needing more heat than it gave out. Physics and chemistry meet to make thermochemistry that's just how it is.
