today i started my morning doing chem notes in the library before class, my favorite place to work early morning. hot coffee good music and chemistry is a great combination. i basically covered reaction intermediates, catalysts and transition states/activated complex

the physics exams went not badly! the multiple choice non-calc paper had too many calculations which threw me off but the structured paper was pretty good but doing two hours of physics was definitely taxing
