practicality

Two things - one, I managed to pull off an epic, epic save in lab yesterday morning after making an exceptionally stupid mistake and accidently dumping half of my synthesized compound on the bench. 70% yield in the end, and almost spot-on purity. And two, the massive number of hours I spent studying for today's midterm paid off, and I ended up with an 88%, which would have been even better if I hadn't made one or two stupid mistakes. I'm going to have to put more hours in for the final, but I'm feeling a lot better now. Yana and I were supposed to hang today, but she hasn't come online at all, so I'll probably just head home and play DDS1 some or something.

I had a minor scare last night - server went down, as did the server for my webhost's main page - turns out a fiber optic line in the data center got cut accidently during some construction. So no harm done in the end.
