Got up and went to conference this morning after a bad night of sleeping due to difficulties in breathing through congestion. But, another small victory this week in conference. When Alan came by to confer with my group, he pointed to a molecule someone had drawn and said it was geometrically impossible. As he started going through his spiel about it, I saw the first problem with it, and pointed it out. So he had me go up and draw the correct thing. When that was all over, he said, "You can go sit down now. I'm not going to pick on you any more; you know too much." Heh. (I think Alan lives for making students feel dumb.)

NMR drives me crazy. My doublets and quartets don't look like they should be counted as a doublet or quartet. And Alan never said anything about how to calculate J values. Gah! And apparently the lab report is due "sometime tonight" as opposed to 5:00, which is what he'd said earlier. Meh.

In other news, boys are dumb, and I'm still sick without seeming to get better yet.
