The kind of humor that gets me through organic chemistry lab...


In honor of my last organic chemistry lab EVER (other than my final exam)!  I'm not going to lie - I pretty much loathed this lab, but there were a few things sprinkled throughout the semester that made o.chem lab almost bearable.  We were doing a lab where we had to isolate and purify via recrystallization a compound called trimyristin, which is found in nutmeg.  It was actually kind of fun crushing and grinding the nutmeg into a paste - a great way to take out my frustrations on organic chemistry!  But I must say, the labeling of the nutmeg bag really made my evening.
