Yubsie's Yammerings

All my bags aren't packed, I'm not ready to go...

One day I'll go somewhere without making a post starting like that. Really. :p

Who am I kidding? I'm a Ravenclaw. :p

But I sent the second draft of my first year report off, and now I am going to not think about it for two weeks. :p

And I can has germanium spectra! It is exciting! They are pretty! And you don't care! :p

fireflyfailure, I got your present! Very awesome! I was so confused when I got home and Ryan said I got a package from Illinois. :p Don't worry about it being late, I sent out two year old cards this year. :p

Got a tension headache after holing up in my office to finish an assignment, joy. But feeling better now. I have to go to an 8:30 class tomorrow though, because Kim's doing the prelab talk and I'm kinda the TA. :p I also have to remember to get the tech to show me the setup for the first lab, because it's a bit complicated.

I'm also worried that the butyllithium may have eaten the THF in my reaction. Which would be an unfortunate mess. I'm trying to make a metric buttload of starting material so I don't have to do it again for a while. :p

Well, another Cragg centre post. I didn't get my Analytical paper done until around 2:30 last night, but that was my own procrastinatey fault. I showered then to get a little extra sleep this morning. THat's university students for you. Do anything the night before for five minutes extra sleep in the morning. :p

I got 69.5% on my Organic midterm. That's, what, a C+? Not as good as I'd like, but a lot better than I expected to do. I actually did get the spectroscopy problem, though I lost two easy points for forgetting to comment on the UV data. Oops. :p He said my artwork was terrible though. :( Got most of the mechanism points, though once again I got art complaints. :p I somehow got 8/15 on the theory question despite not actually finishing answering it. Not that I'm complaining. :p Didn't do as well on the synthesis as I'd hoped, but c'est la vie. Only his final left! I'm currently sitting at an A- in the course, though I ought to see how I did on that lab report... though the labs are only worth 8%, I should see it for the sake of the SECOND lab report. :p

I got to the Organometallics lab first again. You'd think they'd start trying to prevent this. I thought about making everyone listen to the Dream and Desire soundtrack, but I was nice and put on the Carrot/Angua one instead. Though I'm not sure how nice that is, considering that CD also has the Sailor Star Crack EP at the end. :p

So now I'm working on my Analytical lab. Really, I am. I swear! Don't let the icon fool you! :p
