You can say that again! Our tea concoction became quite messy, but it was fun, nevertheless
Quote:Labs contribute not much to your understanding of organic chemistry.
I beg to differ, I'm the kind of person who learns when I get to do stuff. It takes much more time for me to understand things in a classroom, when it's explained by a professor, than if I get to experiment myself. This was a short lab, only a week, but I now can better appreciate how chemistry is used in the industry and how the chemicals actually work. But you're right in the sense that I still have to learn the theory in the classroom, in order to fully understand what's going on, on a molecular level. But seeing it happen in a lab makes me actually remember it.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
