I had plans today. Unfortunately, lab killed them all. I intended to play D&D with Jimmy and his crew tonight, but instead of taking two hours like it was supposed to, this week's lab actually went beyond the 5:30 limit. The reaction I was cooking up was supposed to heat for about an hour, where it'd reach 180 degrees (Celsius, naturally) and sit for ten minutes. Instead, it sat on the hot plate for over two hours. I finally took the reaction off the plate after 2:10. The maximum temperature was 175. Still got a large yield, but I'll have to go back Friday to rinse and filter the sample and recrystallize. If things had gone smoothly, I would have finished and had time to play with Jimmy. Unfortunately, he's no longer online and I've got limited means of contact. Should have been there at four. Instead I got home at twenty to seven. Son of a bitch! That's okay, at least the exam this morning was about the least pleasant thing I've done all year. Also, the TA spilled cinnamaldehyde on my hand, so it reeks of cinnamon. Oh, joy. Today was awesome!
