yubsieThere IS a god of chemistry. And something someone in my year did earned his wrath, because we are getting smote by him HARDCORE. Let's review.
1. Excessive amounts of Langler.
2. Quantum with math-happy Stacy
3. Honours requires six fourth year classes. With Steve on sabbatical and Langler teaching three lower level courses, that leaves five profs who can teach fourth year classes. Except...
4. Stacy resigned, effective July 1, so we actually only have FOUR profs available to teach fourth year classes. And...
5. This is only speculation on my part, but with Stacy gone, that means Ghandi will probably end up teaching Thermo, Quantum and Kinetics. Meaning he can't teach a fourth year class. That brings us down to THREE courses guaranteed for next year. Duffy is trying to bring in people to teach a course or two, but I'm not sure how many people he can scrape together.
6. Kinetics with Ghandi is BRUTAL. Despite skipping lunch to put in two hours trying to crunch numbers and then spending another two hours after the lab, the numbers remain uncrunched. We tried asking for help again, but he doesn't seem to grasp WHAT it is that's giving us trouble.
So yeah, there's a god of chemistry. And he HATES us.
Oh, exam schedule is out! Pretty decent spread, yay!
April 8- Intro Soc
April 11- Analytical
April 17- DOOM! (Organic) I'm glad to actually have time to hand problems in this time, though I wish I could get it over with a bit sooner. On the plus side, I have like an entire week to devote exclusively to this.
April 20- Quite possibly also doom (Kinetics)
Organometalics is a take home. Which I should really start soon, because it's supposed to be hard.
