Today 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.

Aha, good on you! And that's almost what tetraphenyl... etc is, but there are two double bonds in the five carbon ring (that's what the "dien" part means) and the functional group is a double-bonded oxygen, which is a ketone functional group when it's got carbons on both sides of it, hence the "one" :)

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.

Oh, duh. Di. En(e). See, I knew that. I had fun with the orgo unit (minus functional groups). It was like putting together puzzles.

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*
