Sunday
Sundays are awesome. There’s always a triple header of NBA, and it’s the only day I can actually sleep in without consequence.
I’m writing a lab report right now. It’s supposed to be done in ACS style and everything, but… it just doesn’t click in my mind. What I’m trying to say is, usually when you write one of these things you’re reporting some novel and amazing and you can blab on and on about it and how you proved it etc. When you’re writing a lab report for class, 99% of the time what you’ve done has already been accomplished by someone else. I’m polishing up my introduction and it sounds extremely strange to be saying something like…
Although the cross-coupling of XX and XX has been reported, the availability of the indene has been limited by manpower. Hence, the synthesis of additional intermediates is highly desirable.
But in reality I made like, 1 gram of the various intermediates when the person actually doing this lab could just run a 100 g scale reaction and not have to deal with us undergrads failing. Well I know the purpose is to give us students something to do… it’s just harder to write about it. I guess I’m going to just go into mechanistic analysis since that’s part of our requirements. They gave us a 10 page maximum limit, and I’m having trouble filling up more than 1/3 of a page. Lol! And that 10 page limit wasn’t even including figures, aka wtf? I’ll just draw tons of ownage figures of cyclizations.
I’m currently playing the $11 200k gtd. Hope it doesn’t suck too much of my attention away. I’ve been on a hot streak kinda, I burned my FPP on some satellites and won 33 $T, then I used that $T on $3 turbo SNGs and came out with $45. Broke $200 again, and I’m not gonna retardedly moving up stakes and go back below $200.
I’m pretty hungry, but I won’t worry about that. The other folks are at Costco. I slept through their attempts to get me to go. I needed that sleep. Anyhow, time to brainstorm on how to make this report sound intelligent.
