HIP DEEP, BETSEY, HIP DEEP

ADES test went alright. I was really happy when I turned it in (and am still pretty satisfied) but my bubble was deflated slightly (yes, my bubbles can deflate; I was never very good at analogies) when I realized that for the design-space problem he gave us in the problem statement that a<1...and I solved for a<0.8something. Urrg. Plus the fact that there were supposed to be three lines on the graph and I only had two...something's not right. Ooooh well.

THE CHEM QUIZ WAS CANCELED!!!! Hallelujah. My life was saved right then and there. Oh, do y'all know anything about silver nitrate?? Well, let me just tell you what our prof told us at the beginning of lab. "It makes a really dark stain and the only thing that gets it off is wear." Well, that's something of a paraphrase, but close enough. He was right. And apparently I don't pour chemicals into test tubes so much as I splash them onto my fingers and up my arms. I look like a leper. Actually, I look more like a little kid given markers for the first time, or that poor individual who's pen explodes and they don't notice until it's too late.

Incidentally, silver nitrate turns your hands a dark gray-blue and your arms a deep brown.

Didn't get elected for choir. Oh well. I wouldn't have been able to make it during the fall anyways, most likely. Jess quit vball!! :( I was not happy. We'll miss her.

Alright, off I go to not even pretend to be productive. Later, y'all. I shall leave you with a picture that brought me no end of joy.
