exsequarToday was quite the day!
For starters, I GOT TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE!!! :O
Then, I ate ROB and turned him into a ZOMBIE TOO!!! (Rob the Zombie! Har har! I have to go make fun of him for that...)
It's actually a lot more fun being the zombie because you're IT! You don't have to be paranoid anymore, you just get to ATTACK. And mere humans tremble at the sight of you! It's hilariously fabulous. My favorite incident of the game today was when I was in the dining hall and I saw my friend Ben Berg walking past the window - and he was still a human! So I LEAPT out of my chair, RACED out the front door and CHASED him all the way down past the length of D-hall. We stopped, he turned and we circled each other for a minute before he threw a marshmallow and I was hit, dammit! Heehee. It was hilarious. Apparently my desire for BRAAAAAINZ motivated me cause Rob and Michelle said I ran super fast, aha! And all of DHall was watching! I made a spectacle of myself! Heee. So, so much fun.
I also had a Stat test which went really well; got a Physics test back which did NOT go so well, dammit; found my lost cell phone, yay; and had organic chem lab, in which my first try at the experiment failed miserably (I got charred little pieces of graphite instead of my product, hexaphenylbenzene) so I had to start again and ended up staying a half hour late, making lab a total of 4.5 hours. Then I had kickboxing and have now arrived at home, exhausted. Luckily I don't have much work to do really, so I plan to go take a shower and then collapse into bed and mainline some Farscape! \o/
ETA: I forgot to mention that I got my Stat paper back! The one where I used the Stargate Atlantis example, only without names! My teacher wrote "Sounds like a movie script" "Nice." and at the end "I enjoyed your example." And I got a 99 on the damn thing! \o/ Victory! Hee.

Date: 2007-04-12 01:25 am (UTC)That's what I THOUGHT! But then I started thinking about this project I did where I built a big TNT molecule and started confusing myself about the difference between benzene and toluene but the point was that my original instinct was right.
And that sounds insanely cool. My chem teacher LOVES chemfinder.com (and I was actually just on there the other day looking up stuff for a lab writeup). I could probably tell you what tetraphenylcyclopentadienone was if I had ever bothered to learn about ketones and aldehydes. Actually, let me guess: It's a five-carbon ring with a benzene attached at four of the five points and a functional group on the fifth. I think that's too simple to be right, but.
Also, vacuum filtration is fun.
And it's lame that you overheated it and decomposed everything, but that sounds like an easy mistake to make. And yesterday doing the dilutions, I put in too much water in one and we had to start over, so my partner and I agreed that I would do the pipetting and she would do the distilled-water-adding. And we got an eyedropper instead of trying to use the squirt bottle to add a single drop of water to the flask, which would have been a smart thing to do in the first place. *grin*
I really love chem lab. Except the part where I have to make up a bunch of data charts now and all I want to do is read fanfiction.

Date: 2007-04-12 01:36 am (UTC)Yeah, there were about 5 other people who had to redo their experiment too, so I didn't feel like too much of an idiot. I think the problem was that we got such a tiny yield from the first synthesis that there was very little material and it was really easy to burn.
Chem lab is lots of fun when it's not frustrating the hell out of me :) But writing lab reports can take forEVER, meep. I totally hear ya there.

Date: 2007-04-12 02:04 am (UTC)I feel so GOOD now. I'm remembering organic chem and my data tables are all created and neat-- I ran out of space in my old lab book so I just started a new one, and it's all nice and shiny and not all wrinkly from being splattered with water/sulfuric acid/silver chloride solution/etc and I'm writing really neat and wow, I am just a little bit OCD, aren't I? *grin*
