I really ought to have learnt by now... if a lab only takes twenty minutes, the chances are the write-up will take you until the end of time.

This is on transition metal electronic spectra. Evil inorganic.

True. It was a definite mistake, but the nice-looking organometallic synthesis hasn't been running for the last few terms, and I really didn't want to do any solid-state chemistry.

I imagine the junior demonstrator who used to run it has graduated, or something.

It will be. If the exam is actually difficult this year, maybe you should pay Steve Davies an impromptu visit in the street again :tongue:

Assuming its not difficult itll make it all the more embarrassing when i dont get a distinction.

The Steve Davies thing is still a rumour as far as im concerned. I definatley got hit by a car, but the only people who say I "bumped" into Steve Davies are the same people who say I did a poo-poo in this guys bed -- which was confirmed to be untrue. -- They did also say the car thing which is why I cant totally write it off.

Anyone else feel like they are being institutionalized like the prisoners in The Shawshank Redemption?

I go away for 3 days and this ends up on its 4th page! Wow.....chemchat really *is* the life and soul of the party! :p:

Still hate valence just not as much....trying to do a tute sheet with no notes, lecture notes, or books on the oxford tube was an interesting experience!

I don't turn up to lectures, so (a) would be pretty useless :tongue:

Might have a drive to finish organic labs by 2nd week Trinity. :eek3:

What have you got left to do?

Two inorganic (plus the computer lab - Karl Harrison, gah) and one organic. Plus a load of physical to sign-off. Not too bad, but they're so soul destroying...

The computer lab is a joke - if it takes more than about an hour, something's gone seriously wrong. I'm doing my last sign-off (UV/Vis in the ICL) today :biggrin:
