Thanks you guys 

w00t w00t!
I just totally ACED my quantitative analysis midterm! :D :D
Moonwalked outta there with the world's biggest smile on my face.
This quant class has been true hell, its like quantitative chemistry boot-camp. Every week we have 3 x 1hour lecture periods and 2 x 5hour lab periods. 85% of our grade is based on the results we report from lab, which makes "just going through the motions" a laughable proposition.
This is the kind of chemistry class where you spend as much time cleaning glassware to analytical specifications as you spend actually doing chemistry: 3x (micro-detergent with scrub brush --> tap water rinse) followed by 3x DI water rinse, followed by drying in the electric oven at 110C, followed by cooling in the dessicator.... pretty much every single time you use a damn piece of glassware.
Luckily it's only a 1/2 semester course though-- unluckily, the second half of the semester I have to take inorganic synthesis, which I hear is also prone to inducing feelings of terminal exasperation in chemistry students... Meh...
It's shit like this that makes me love and miss organic chemistry. The motto of the organic laboratory is "yeah, that seems to be good enough". :D
Inorganic chemistry just isn't very much fun, honestly-- its all number-crunching and bullshit. Some of the shit gets so retardedly complicated that I can barely stand to look at the material-- like equilibria problems where you get to the last step of the problem and realize you're dealing with 8 equations and 8 unknowns. It would take like 5 years to solve that by hand-- so you plug the shit into Mathematica and, of course, Mathematica being a stupid computer program, spits out an enormous pile of possible answers. Then you take a closer look at the answers and realize most of them are completely ridiculous, like how can you have a species in solution with a negative molar analytical concentration? Or even worse, a molar analytical concentration somehow related to the 'imaginary' number i (√-1)? So ya gotta "go digging" and sort through like a trillion possible answers to find the one that you're actually looking for....ughhh, I truly despise spending my time doing stuff like that.
And fuck ions. :D Ionic bonding is the cheap, dirty sex of the chemical world. No sharing and caring like with covalent bonding. Ions will fuck anything for a little bit of opposite charge... absolutely disgusting!![]()
Water is such a whore that it even beats itself off ionically through a process called autoprotolysis (the only other compound that exhibits this characteristic is ammonia).
It basically throws protons around between molecules like a hot potato-- one water molecule will throw a proton to another water molecule, creating a hydronium cation and degrading itself to a hydroxide anion in the process. Talk about playing with yourself. :D
The shitty part of the autoprotolysis of water (well, in terms of calculational difficulty -- without the phenomenon, life couldn't exist) is that dissolving ionic compounds gets really fucking messy when you look at what is actually going on, because the anions will catch a proton (or 2 or 3, depending) from a hydronium cation and become some other shit (almost always a weak acid), that has its own equilibrium you have to consider, and so on and so on.
Sometimes you have an anion that catches multiple protons to become a polyprotic acid, which partially dissociates to yield a diprotic acid which in turn partially dissociates (by this time, barely-- very low Ksp) into a monoprotic acid. Its truly is a mindfuck cascade.
Basically it becomes this ridiculous soup of charges in equilibrium with each other. The only time ions behave well is when dissolving strong acids, because the conjugate base of a strong acid cannot hydrolyze (a strong acid is defined as such because it dissociates completely in water, and in order to completely dissociate it can't accept protons in aqueous solution).
Hahahaha wow, can you tell I'm on adderall??![]()
I'm sure you guys could care way less about this shit, but I'm just blabbing on. I've been in "chemistry mode" all day, so this boring bullshit just spills out of my brain like an open faucet.
tl;dr: analytical chemistry sucks, organic chemistry is fun, and water is a wanker. :D
Anyways, I'm about to smoke a friday evening bowl.It's good chronic too. It's gunna be really nice, I'm just waiting until I'm tweaking balls a little less completely before I start smoking. :D
I'll be smoking said bowl by myself, unfortunately, as all my friends are at the football game tonight (read: drunk off their asses by now). I am way too exhausted to attend, though-- and since my girlfriend's dad wanted her to go to the game with him, I'm basically chillin' alone tonight.
That's fine by me, though-- I'm so damn tired from the demands of this week, and cracked-out feeling from the adderall in my system, that I just feel like chillin' and continuing to post ridiculously long & pointless walls of text similar to this one. :D
I hope all of you guys are doing well.PD crew includes so many special people, I hold you guys very near to my heart and think about you all often.

I've had my GF for 2 years now (practically lives with me) - small white, petite thang, cooks for me, always been good to me.
I go away on holiday for a week, come back and something just doesn't seem right. I asked my Father if he had seen anything happen with my GF and he acts clueless.
So fast forward to 3 weeks later... I'm coming home from work when BAM clear as day, right in my Kitchen I catch my Father red handed with his meat in my GF.
I was pi**ed, told him to get his meat out of GF and GTFO, needless to say my GF got turned off. I just couldn't get over it and that night kicked my GF to the curb.
Now it's been 2 weeks since the incident and that I've been without my GF and about 10 minutes ago my Father had the audacity to ask my how my GF has been, when he's the damn reason we ain't together no more.
Should I get off the computer and start swinging at him?
OR
Pack my stuff and be on my way.
Here's pics of my GF for you guys as I know you'll ask.
