Update: We broke a vacuum-funnel (~15 EUR) and a 3-headed distillation flask (~33 EUR) today.. I have a feeling I should have done a glass-insurance before this. ;)

Together with the petri-dish I think this is the price for the new WLAN card I was about to get.. darn! This course is really getting expensive :)

Additionally (as usual there is more) the flask was filled with the product of a looong (the whole day) synthesis when it broke. Causing hot benzil and nitric acid to spill over my partners and my hands, arms and clothes. Nice…
Luckily we could save enough of the crystals to pass this day, otherwise I would really be pissed now. I proudly carry my shoes and pants with ventilation-holes now! :D

Somehow this chemistry-thing combined with two exams (Physics and Microbiology) make me sleepless. At the moment, I go to bed at around 1 a.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. again. I mean, no problem with that but in the weekend I will just collapse and sleep 24h nonstop :P

I am getting into quite some excited state, almost manic – I wonder for how long I will be able to keep it up like that :)

Physics is done, one more to go.. I really need a break
