so much work!

Today my report was due and I gave my presentation. The report was supposed to be 4-10 pages and mine was 3.5 pages....Sooooo we'll see how that goes. But I felt like in just 3 pages I was already repeating myself so I just couldn't find what else to say about "The Synthesis and Separation of N,N'bis(1-phenylethyl)oxalamides." I just made this compound, separated the isomers and ran tests on it. So there wasn't much to say about it.

The presentation was definitely the most stressful part (the final is on Friday though and that will definitely be the most stressful) of today. I only had hard copies of my spectra and I needed to get them in my powerpoint or on an overhead but I didn't have a scanner or anything. So I went around to all the professors and lab teachers trying to figure this out. Nobody could help me. I found a table of some people in my class and sat down and told them what was going on. Of course I'm a stupid girl and just started crying. Luckily that ended up helping me, even though it was embarrassing. One of my friends felt so bad she took time away from her project to help me makes overheads. My presentation still ended up being really bad, because I was so frazzled and unprepared, but at least I had something! So I came to the conclusion that some Swedish people are nice (but more Americans are nice).

To celebrate the end of this class I'm going to go to Stockholm with some people in my class. I'm really excited about it. I haven't been to the city at all and I hear they have 4 different H&M's! It only takes 40 minutes to get there by bus/train. I'm sure I'll take lots of pictures.

Now I have tonight and tomorrow to study like a maniac! Oh I think I'm going to change up my schedule and take Medicinal Chemistry instead of my NMR class. It doesn't have labs and it sounds way more fun!
