Today, like every other normal Tuesday or Thursday, I had ochem lab. Nothing special, right? Right. I went in, turned in my lab, and that's basically where my problems began. My product from last session had been carefully saved in a little box that the TA had stored away because it was volatile and flammable and all that good stuff. (Everything in organic chemistry is essentially dangerous and can catch on fire, corrode through your skin, or kill you. Yay.) 

So I open it up, add in the acid and ether and follow the procedure BUT instead of turning into a liquid with two layers, it just gets chunky. I ask the TA and she's "try adding more acid and ether" so I do and the same thing happens. 

At this point I'm standing at my experimental station, holding a flask of something that can most certainly catch on fire or give someone an acid burn because I've put way too much HCl than recommended (and if they're in my hands, they're pretty much in the wrong hands). 

And she's like "follow your heart and do what you think is best." And I'm just like ??????????????? LAST WEEK I SPILLED BROMINE AND THAT STUFF IS CARCINOGENIC AND WE HAD TO NEUTRALIZE AND VENT OFF THE EVAPORATING LIQUID SO NO ONE BREATHED IN THE FUMES WHY DO YOU TRUST ME.

My TA is a little too chill for her own good. Also the grades to the last ochem quiz are posted and I have a blank out of 60 points and I definitely took the quiz so I have no idea what's going on. 

Anyway, my second round of midterms are next week and I'm already really stressed. Most of the classes I'm taking are pretty difficult and I usually have no idea what's going on most of the time. All I want to do is curl up and sleep. I have homework due tomorrow that will probably take me six hours to complete and I just really want to flip the table and be done.

Honestly, it's Greek week so I'm supposed to be out partying but I skipped all the good parties when my friends went only to mess with circuits so that's where my life is at right now. I'm not really sure when I became so jaded.

P. S. I really want tacos right now but it's like 11 and that's not a good idea. 

P.S. S. I was studying out of my room for the past week and I forgot to water my plants Sponge and Bob. I think Bob is dying.
