Dec. 11th, 2003 10:34 pm::mutters curses and vagues threats at portfolio, especially research paper::
In bad news, I have linear to do, an introduction to write, and a paper to revise for tomorrow (granted, the last 2 at 5 pm tomorrow). In good news, dinner was good and I am now done with lab for a month. Also in good news, both bits of my synthesis worked! (Spectroscopy says it worked, TLC says I really should have had an extra lab period to separate it on a column. I'll be glad it worked and sneakily glad I didn't have to get into chromatography. That can be tiresome, especially packing the column. Enough to know I could have. [Actually... getting the stuff purified would have been very cool, since I know it would have done what I wanted to and probably made a pretty-colored compound.]) So a bunch of studying for physics left, and an abstract for the synthesis (will be fairly easy, I think), and then some studying for math. But then there's a lot of stuff I want to do for fun. There's Lord of the Rings (aThon and movie), Rent (assuming we have drivers!), and possibly Casemas (could be fun). Plus church and youth group and my weekend is taken. Heh. To revise that blasted paper and write something about how my writing has changed. I'm sure it has, but I'm hardly the one to notice. I'm always harder on it than most other people, so it improves without me noticing too much.
