Daylight savings time. What is all this about? Seems like like of an erroneous name to me, I mean – can you really save daylight? All of this is because we change our clocks (remember?) tonight/next morning. whenever. Usually this means that I change my clocks Monday morning, after some brand of excitement during the day. Why? Saskatchewan doesn’t have to do this, because apparently, it confuses the cows. Well, we don’t want to confuse the cows do we? Aren’t there cows here in B.C? Are they not confused as to the time of day and why isn’t whats his name coming out to milk us soon? HMmmm….
I think that cows a really pretty smart and are just biding their time / chewing their cuds until us humans screw ourselves up so much that…. the cows can take over. Really, they are far more devious than you think.
On Friday, which is not the best day of the week school-wise for me. Wow, that was a pretty bad sentence. Anyway, Friday is a real nasty where days of the week go. Class starts at 9:30 and goes on until 1:30. Then, as its that wasn’t a bad enough streak of lectures, there is the ever ominous Organic chemistry lab. Ouch. On Friday I was in there for about 5 – 6 hours, all spent hovering over a fume hood, trying to get this clear, smelly liquid to turn into another clear, even more smelly liquid. Why we do this I am not sure, but I am even more sure that we basically learn nothing. They should call the class : Mixing clear liquids and assembling treelike class structures on various branches of which you have obviously connected incorrectly 987. A high number like that just to indicate how difficult the class is. All of this work, and I get a yield of 28% for 2-methycyclohexene (I’ll bet the spellchecker will lock right up when it reaches this work, which is much the same as my brain), which is really a disaster. The best thing about this lab is the headaches and the dizziness from washing all the glassware with acetone.
Enough complaining for now.
