One of those Special Moments

So today was a blah day...

I'm starting to feel less sick (still sick, just less so... so everyone continue feeling sorry for me, please) but I, of course, need to force myself to go to classes and labs... Cuz sitting through hours (plural) long lectures about random chemistry and economics stuff is the LAST thing you want to do when you feel like painting the carpet with your cookies (cookies make you feel better when you're sick, I assure you)

Anyways...

Even if I really didnt want to, I had to go to my chem lab... But I was forcing myself to anyways, I would have to go in on my own time in order to catch up otherwise.... and that could cut into my video game time =D

SO I went into my lab with a smile on my face (smiling as much as I could muster even though I had no intention of enjoying myself) and prepared myself to try my best to fit an 8 hour lab into a 4 hour lab (its supposed to be a 2 day lab... but I figured I could cheat a little)...

I was doing really well...

Until a wave of not caring kicked in... And I mean KICKED!

Just all of a sudden it all dawned on me just how much i didnt want to be there... which apparently was a lot...

Out of nowhere "5mL of Urea" turned into "3 through 7mL of urea"... "Swirl gently" became "shake vigourously" (to speed up the reaction... and not because I was hoping that I would drop it and be excused from the lab for poor conduct)... And the "nitric acid should remain in a container and not all over the counter" rule stopped applying... for whatever reason...

The person next to me was like "are you trying to kill us?" And I replied with a "nope.... just myself... but if I take you down with me it'll be a bonus"... then i flashed a serious face as serious as I could get it... She didnt think it was funny at all... Which made me laugh even harder...

Speaking of which... I should probibly stop buring bridges in regards to the chem department... I mean, there aren;t to many chem students left... I can;t go all "I'm gonna kill you" on them... they'll start getting all skiddish whener I'm around...

So yes... I only did half of the lab (but it took me a little over 2 ours... I probibly could have finished) but I gave up anyways...

But not before spilling nitirc acid and urea all over the hot plates in fume hood... (I wasn;t spillling on purpose... I know how dangerous it can be...)

For those of you that don;t already know (I do have some yougers in my fanbase) nitic acid turns into nitrous oxides (city smog) and urea is in pee...

When I spilled my solutions on the burners, it smelled like someone was putting out a large fire with a bladder full of urine... and the fire was by a running automobile...

that is all

What colours are left?

youre complaining about green now... I know you complained about the orange... I dont think you like the red... I can't remeber you liking the blue...

Do you really want to wear pink that badly???

this isn't some regular green, it's kermit the frog green.

i loved the blue! i hated the orange...it was neon! I didn't LIKE the red, but I didn't despise it. the Maroon one we just finished was lovely.

in conclusion, i'd love blue or maroon again...or just sticking with the original work shirt. they're wasting so much freaking money on these shirts...
