The people next to me at Starbucks are tutoring Organic Chemistry and I’m having a serious PTSD episode.

ugh inorganic chemistry is $200 for the book :/ and then bio is gonna cost me twice as much because apparently I need a botany lab manual.... ugh
Crap I need to invest in a lab coat and prep myself for microbiology next semester and also biochemistry.
I’m trying to do my professor’s review for the final tomorrow and it was “Find the wavelength of the light emitted by burning Strontium Chloride” AND THEN HE DOESN’T GIVE ME ANY VALUES!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO DO!? I CAN TELL YOU THE COLOR OF THE FLAME, AND WHAT THE EXPECTED WAVELENGTH IS BUT LIKE I DON’T KNOW THE WAVELENGTH OF RED LIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD GODDAMN
Got out of teaching lab at 9pm. Have to be back in lab for a meeting by 8am. Because fuck me that's why. Plus side: I get paid $20 per hour.
see aromatic chemistry, or aromantic chemistry
I do tend to read aromantic as aromatic (like 50% of the time), but usually it's not an issue because context clues. Because usually we don't talk about aromatic people (or at least that's a really odd way of describing how someone smells).
But I did have to read this ask like three times to figure out which was which, so there's that.
Summary of My Lab Work Today
Me: Hello there new compounds, so I have this method that I spent the last 6 months perfecting for your cousins and I just want you to run through this system here and just give a shout when the MSD shows you your favorite voltage. Ok?
MDEA: Hi there! I like 80V! I'm so excited to meet you! I wanna be cool just like my brother MDMA!
All other compounds: Fuck off. This mobile phase sucks.
Me: But....But... Guys... I guess you could try this other mobile phase, but your cousins didn't really like it when we tried it....
Compounds: This new stuff is so great! We're here now!!
Original Compounds: Fuck that.
Me: ......... :'(
Majoring in chemistry has taught me a lot about failure.
Pretty sure that's not a real thing Carbine? Holds energy? Seriously
