I Never Thought I'd Say This...

I'm actually enjoying my o-chem lab.

I have made a friend-- the only other girl in my class. Together we sit there and watch our cinnamon boil fretting about whether it will over boil and we will have to start all over. Then we collect the condensation that has appeared as a result of the boil, containing both water and cinnamaldehyde, the active ingredient in cinnamon. We purify it until we have enough of the desired ingredient to run tests on. Inevitably, Kelsey will knock over her product or break an expensive piece of glass and I will have a panic attack that I do not have enough product after all, as I have let the entire thing evaporate. Then we will spend 10 or 15 minutes trying to scrub the burnt cinnamon from our beakers.

Maybe I won't get into medical school this year. But at least I'll have learned a whole crap load of lab techniques that may or may not get me a job in the real world.

Also, Blake Fisher is back. You have no idea how comforting that is.

Lastly, Slab Pizza has new menu items. Like Chicken Enchilada pizza. Yum.
