Wow, all I can say is that I was incredibly tired today. I had a lab quiz for Biology at 8 AM, which went as well as could be expected, followed by biology (lecture) and organic chem. Kristy tells me that I drifted off in organic chem, but I don't remember doing so... Bad sign. I cam back to Lister with all kinds of stuff in mind that I should do, including a litany of homework and a haircut. Instead, I decided to lie down for a "few minutes". Promptly 125 minutes later, I woke up. Craziness. I had class tonight too, so that was wild. What a waste of time. I have decided that I would receive better marks if I started studying a week before a midterm, rather that 24 hours or so. So, tonight I am going over my favorite class, organic chemistry. Lots of fun stuff here including nomenclature ( what exactly is 2,5-Dimethyl-2-hexane anyway?), conformations, and transitional states. This is sooooo much fun. Oh well, I have warmed up to the labs quite a bit. I actually enjoy them for the most part. Monday was interesting enough. I accomplished very little, other than the usual labs and whatnot. I am going to hit the sack now I think. It is almost 2 AM, and as usual, I have class tomorrow. And I should probably attend my lecture, as I need the good grades. I am really getting into the chemistry though. I have been doing a lot of research tonight, including looking at this site http://www.theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/Stories/011.2/index.html , which has an awesome sodium type experiment, some really cool stuff, Anyway, I am pretty tired. Auf Wiedersehen.
