Recrystallization of Ammonium Chloride looks like pretty, pretty snowflakes

I love the conversations I have with the people I work with. They’re so nerdy and awesome. When we watched this video we immediately started arguing over who got to make the sat. NH4Cl soln because we all think endothermic reactions are cool (punny)

In addition to that, I finally found out why a stream of water from a faucet has a diminishing radius…finally calculus makes sense.

Henderson-Hasselhoff Equation

Don’t hassel the buffer system.

(This is the name of my chemistry study group.)

KATS preparation officially began this week. Trying to do a demo with write-up each week until the show.

Guess who is now going to work 30 hours a week?

In an absolute whirlwind of a day I got hired in the Chemistry department solutions room AND at the Manhattan softball/baseball academy teaching hitting lessons.

Now I get to quit my job at Bramlage (picking up trash and baby vomit) for two jobs I actually like that pay much much better!

Life is good my friends, life is good.

Right before the Chem show turned into a complete shit show.
I cannot even begin to list everything that went wrong.
At least this is a cool picture.
