YES I DID IT! I finished my lab in less than the stipulated
seven hours and this is CM2121 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY we are talking about here so this is an
achievement.
Okay I am indulging myself in cheap thrills.
But you can't blame me. Given recounts of horrible lab experiences which served a purpose none other than proving Murphy's law true, I headed towards the rumoured-malfunctioning-Buchner funnel-lab at S5 Lvl 5 with mental preparation for the
worst case scenario.
Maybe it's not so much of me, but rather the influences from people who share the same fumehood column. Generally my row of four finished the quickest today, and I did not remember myself in a rush for any step at all. In fact, we spent a lot of time waiting and most of the time we were unsure of what to do next.
But in any case, I survived Organic chem lab unscathed! (Probably smelly fingers though.)
The silica gel column
My boiling water which never seemed to overflow when it boiled, even if I added almost to the brim!
