So I try really hard not to complain about this...considering its the path I chose for myself and I knew what I was getting into...but every now and again I can't help myself...
Yup..you know what I'm talkin' bout...the bane of my existence...aka chemistry lab.
I don't hate chemistry, I truly don't..and I understand its necessary for me to take and all that jazz..but really REALLY is lab necessary?! I don't mind chemistry lecture at all..in fact, I'd go to double the lectures if it meant I didn't have to go to lab.
For the last whole month of school, each table is supposed to develop and carry out their own projects relating to the degradation of sulfa-drugs in water. I'll save you the lengthy explanation of what sulfa drugs are and what the project we developed entails..just know, sulfa drugs+ water=bad and that *theoretically* our project was supposed to work...
...imagine my group's utter devastation when, after working on said project for three hours, we found out that it had not worked the way we wanted it to..and actually, it didn't work at all...
My chemistry lab professor just looked at us and said, "see! this is the great thing about science! its challenging and interesting!" I can't even begin to imagine what the look on my face was at that time, but I imagine it wasn't good...
Leaving lab in utter defeat, goggle lines permanently imprinted on my face, I went to seek the comfort of my favorite biology professor. After relaying the whole painful story, she grabs my arm and simply says, "well honey, this is the reason why you are a biology major...people like you and I just aren't meant to do chemistry" Not quite the pep talk I was hoping for, but at the moment it worked haha!
soooo its back to the drawing board for me and my fearless lab group...yippy skippy I love chemistry lab projects like a fat kid loves cake

UMMMMM---package went out today to Mi Casa---you Casa---Hibbing Casa---awwww heck---you know!
oh ya----funny story too Missy---fat kid and cake---not good---google lines---what is THAT all about? You should maybe think of starting a goggle line support group perhaps!
How 'bout now---do we have electricity now?
well first of all, there is nothing funny about goggle lines..its a serious problem! secondly, yes, electricity has been restored to my bedroom! yippee! good thing too because I'm gonna be home for the summer soon and not having electricity would probably kill me!
