Yubsie's Yammerings

You know what I love about being home? LOBSTER. It is apparently dirt cheap out here right now, so we had some for supper. It was marvelous.

Chemists shouldn't be allowed in restaurants where they put paper on the tables and give you crayons. I may have covered it with chemistry doodles of working through the reaction I did the other day. I figured out where all the atoms go!

Yesterday I made a super awesome grilled cheese sandwiches. I put oregano and garlic powder in the butter and it was NUMMY.

Sunny and I are on a quest to see how many whore jokes we can manage before May because Tess is in the whorus of The Best LIttle WHorehouse In Texas. It's fun. :p

Rich didn't show up to our class today, so my presentation was a lot less scary than I was worrying about. I blanked on a really easy question and wound up answering it after class, which was embarassing. :p But I led nicely into the day's lecture material, so that was kinda neat. :p Rich and I had a chat in the Cragg about how excited his dad was about the Angewandte Chemie cover paper. :p

The lab today was theoretical stuff with model kits, but I swear they haven't gotten to half this stuff in the lectures. I had a "fun" time trying to explain Newman projections, which I don't remember even TOUCHING on in first year. I also got to argue with the other TA about whether a certain formula had isomers or not. (I won, she was forgetting about regioisomers :p)

Supper today looked suspiciously like lunch. As in I packed two identical sandwiches, two juiceboxes, some crackers and carrots and ate half of this at lunch and half at supper. The joy of not having Powerpoint and having to put a presentation together in the Cragg. Though now I have Open Office to fix that particular problem. My Quantum presentation is good to go, hopefully the questions won't be too bad... Then there's just the Spec one for Monday, which will be similar to this but with more math. :p I stole more than one diagram out of my spec notes. :p INcluding the one that I intend to spend a good chunk of time on because it's Khash's favourite diagram so I can say a lot about it. :p

I made an "Emergency Chocolate Run" to Sassy's to buy fudge around eight. I wasn't the only one in the Cragg to get this idea. I bet between the fudge and the energy drinks, Sassy's gets a noticeable increase in business during doom season. :p

Also, the downside of the Cragg is that once someone discovers an internet based procrastinatable, the entire department knows about it within two days. We are all currently addicted to Web Boggle. :p
