I don't know what to put here...

I am sitting at the kitchen counter at 11:00 pm. I am supposed to be writing a lab report for Organic Chemistry. So, I figured this was the perfect opportunity to find something else to do.
Yes, lab reports: Just one more way to prove that I don't know what is going on.
The report is on Synthesis of Styrene. It didn't work. We figure the Trimethalchloride was not fully distilled. Guess that would do it. Yeah, that stuff... wow. Fume hoods are necessary when working with TMC. It'll wreck you.
My first lab report wasn't well accepted. I patterned it after the scientific paper in my technical writing class but I guess it wasn't what the TA was looking for. Frankly, I really don't know how else to do it, so it will be the same way this time and I will talk it over with her.
This report was due last week but I was so sick. I couldn't think of breathing in any kinds of fumes. Had some kind of respiratory mess that is sweeping the south and has the CDC on edge. It still isn't gone, but I can function very well again. Besides that, the lab last week was canceled and I was so glad. It is one of the longest labs of the semester and I didn't want to have to make it up. Apparently some dichloromethane was spilled and the Huntsville Fire Dept had to be involved some way. I will find out tomorrow what happened. Always something going on in the Wilson Hall labs!

I've been pretty busy at home. Started my spring cleaning early. I guess when I get into cleaning I just go crazy. Good thing it doesn't happen very often, aye? It all started because I noticed a tabletop was a little dusty.
Right now my room is torn to shreds. I emptied my closet and some drawers because I want to reorganize. I was cleaning my room last week and stepped back and looked at it. Though it was clean it seemed very cluttered. It just didn't LOOK clean. So, whenever that happens I know I have to tear everything up and rearrange.
I also like to get rid of the random stuff that collects in the empty spots of my room. So, in order to do that, everything needs to get pulled out in the open.
So, I've been camping out on the floor for a while because my bed is missing. I recall taking all the sheets off to be washed before it disappeared. I hope to find it soon.
Guess I better get going back to work! Don't expect any pictures with this entry, that would just be too embarrassing!

Snow day!

So we had snow. I am so glad because it has been at least a year since we had some. Well, I can't say that it lasted very long in most areas, but it was pretty while it was here.
For those of you who were pulling for me, no UAH did not close and I did take the test. But it is okay because I figured out free radical stability.
I did slide on my driveway. But besides that, the roads were very clear as you can tell by my pictures. The roadways were just too warm for anything substantial to happen.
About ten years ago we had an ice storm so heavy we were stuck in our house for about five days. The ice on the streets and our driveway was so thick it couldn't be dealt with. We had to go out and chip the entire driveway off because the ice was about an inch thick on it. Infact, everything was covered in ice; our trees and bushes, grill, lawn furniture- it was like a faerie garden.
This year we got a dusting. Maybe we will get more. This can't be it. There is still some snow hanging out in random places. Infact, our snowman's body only just melted.

He giveth snow like wool: He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
He casteth forth His ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
He sendeth out His word, and melteth them: He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters to flow. Psalm 147:16-18
