Doom was doomish. I expected it to be, but that doesn't really make it any better. On some level, I knew he'd be out for his revenge after the last one went well. STill...

The synthesis I think I might have gotten right (20 marks). That depends on if I correctly remembered how to do a few of the reactions though. The spectroscopy problem (worth 40 marks) was pretty bad. I eventually came up with an answer, but I'm not sure if it was right or not. I'm pretty sure I got the mechanism (25 marks), at any rate. That's an interesting change of pace from Organic III. I'm pretty sure I blew the theory question (15 marks) though. Well, I know I blew it, because I didn't actually finish with everything he asked for. He broke his pattern! Usually you can safely not study the past week and a half of material, so I only skimmed that stuff. And then he asked about it. Oops. I knew the bonus question (5 marks), so maybe that'll help a little big. Just have to remind myself that D is for "Don't ever have to take a class with this man ever again!"... wow, D really IS for lots of things. :p

The general consensus is that we're all really happy that that was the last Langler Midterm we ever have to write. Even if there's still the final, and the Organic IV final is notoriously brutal. We really had far too many classes with him to be anything except bitter. Needless to say, he's not getting an Honours student out of OUR year. Maybe next year, but not our class. :p We don't want to have to work with him!

So now I'm sitting in the Cragg making my presentation for Kinetics. Which I will totally be stumbling through. Hopefully I can rein in my speaking speed to actually get in the full twenty minutes. I wouldn't count on it thought.... I'm worried it's going to end up more "And, well, I'm out of content but not time. Here's a picture of my cat." :p
