The Uni Study Thread Mk II

I have an essay due on Friday. I'm such a mess.

Target for tonight: Get lab report almost finished, minus NMR, so I can spend all night tomorrow night re-learning how to do it :sigh:

Oh the life of a chemist :sigh:

I can't even remember how to do proton NMR! I have an NMR assignment due in on friday too. Now I know the answers, but I don't know how I got there so I need to do that too.

I've 1 due this week, but at least 6, possibly 7 more due in 2 weeks time.

Oops... have done nothing on my dissertation plan today. Wrote my handover but frankly that is not particularly important. Bad Heather.

Quite a productive day, although I've not got much work being the first day of Semester 2. Got up at 6.15 and went for a run - most exercise I've done in a loooong time. Made every lecture (even the "revision" lecture going over last semesters stuff, which was immensely boring).

Oh dear! I can't remember any either. If you need them, my lecturer posts some good sites for both 13C and proton NMR so I can get some links for you if you like? They're likely to be better than the usual crap google comes back with.

IR I'm getting really good at now because I'm always doing it, but only if I know what the structure is in the 1st instance :p:

2 Lectures and 2 Seminars tommorow. *sobs* Which is a lot considering it is 4 out of my 9 contact hours of the week. :tongue:

I can't believe I already have an assignment for next monday, usually I am waiting over a month until I have an essay deadline. It's only 1000 words and 20% of my module but still ...
I also need to go to my lecturer with my idea for my essay and she what she says, as well as pick a question for my other module, these aren't due until late march but I want to be on the ball with essays so I have time to improve the inevitably awful first drafts.

Better go prepare for tommorows seminars... :redface:

In a very good mood at the moment - just had a great society meeting. Plus finally picked up books for my American History presentation on the Cold War- going to start reading through the first one tonight.

Yeah that would be great thanks :biggrin:

This semester I'm not doing spec at all, hence why I can't remember it haha. Once I passed the exam I was like "Yas no more spec this year" and in lab reports it's about spec :|

They're the best. I'm getting good at 13C calculations and can explain them if needs be too.

You'll never get away from spectroscopy I'm afraid. Essential part of chemistry!
