Today's been a much better day- I did some light study before my lectures this morning, then grabbed a coffee- decided to shake things up and get a different coffee today (That's probably why my day was better than the past few :P ) :) .
In my lectures today: we covered a lot of exam questions in physiology, as well as learning a lot about what goes down in medicinal chemistry- including looking at/interpreting Lipinski's rule of 5, total polar surface area and membrane permeability.
I've also started going through and making flashcards for my chem unit that has a midsem test, after realising that my pal Quizlet has most of the reactions I need to memorise already in pictures!
I'm also lowkey excited for my prac tomorrow- we're doing some ion exchange chromatography- I'm not entirely sure how that links into my physchem unit, but made for an interesting read (and reread/rewatch of prelab stuff), as I hadn't heard of that type of chromatography before about 3pm :P

What coffee did you get? And what coffee do you normally order?

I got a medium flat white today, and I usually get a small cappuccino ;D
(also I don't have sugar in my coffee- sugar makes me kinda sleepy, and that's not the desired effect :) )

I've never had sugar in coffee (or tea), but I honestly can't imagine it being pleasant in the slightest.

Today I finally found some motivation to study- I got up early and went to the campus library to study for the good part of 4 hours- I should probably do this more often haha.
Today's prac was highly enjoyable (and easy)- titrations and filling tubes with not so highly dangerous chemicals is always so relaxing and repetitive, a great mid-week prac.
Tomorrow is going to fairly full on- I have another lab, this time making methyl salicyate (aka deep heat), but before that I have a tute for that same unit. I'm most looking forward to the lecture tomorrow, which continues upon the medicinal chemistry series- has been super interesting so far!

My thoughts exactly haha ;D

31/8/17
The day of trying new things (not necessarily to do with uni but still my day so :P ):
- Having something different for breakfast (cream cheese toast in case anyone's curious :) )
- Using new things in my lab class such as separating funnels, and rotary evaporators (the second sorta reminds me of a shrinking gun that a villain would use haha)
- Testing out something different at the uni caf- some stirfry noodle thing that was actually really nice haha
- Finding a new spot to read my book (New books for the week- the second Dark Tower book by Stephen King and A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J Maas)
- Sitting at the back of a lecture theatre with the others- only 12 of us showed up to the only lecture of the day :-[
- Trying chatime for the first time
Generally it's been a pretty decent and relaxed day, my 3hr lab only took us 2 hours, so the day didn't seem to drag on. I also got my results back for one of my pracs last week (I didn't like this one whatsoever lol) and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I passed haha. However now I smell like deep heat- which actually is an ester of salicylic acid- so not at all surprising, given that esters generally have a scent. :)
