Nothing quite makes your day like finishing your lab and leaving your six-hour lab session two-and-a-half hours early. It almost makes up for the fact that I'm having one of those "people I know are passing within three feet of me without noticing me" days. I've also been making a ridiculous amount of mistakes writing down the date these past two days but at least that is nothing unusual, at least for this time of the year.
One of my classes has two discussion sections. In my section there are more grad students than undergrad students. This is the first time that's happened to me and it is a very strange feeling indeed. (Undergrads don't usually feel outnumbered by grads. It's simple statistics.)
I'm not taking a lot of lab classes. I just happen to have a lot of classes that involve a lot of long lab sessions. Except this quarter. This quarter has just ONE class that is actually a lab class and all the other lab work is me, praying for a thesis.
Cheer up, Victoria, the o-chem lab is pretty fun, even if the class itself isn't. You might even get to figure out how much caffeine is in black tea!
Also: titration. WHY is it always titration?

Heh heh...strangely, I like chem class material better than actually performing the reactions we learned about in the lab - this is probably because I am just TERRIBLE at lab techniques!!! In a previous lab class my poor TA would often have this expression of horror on his face that seemed to ask, "What the...what kind of underdeveloped motor skills caused this to happen?!"
