I'm sorry blogger, I am--it's just TUMBLRS easier.
My blog moved there. Not that I really have kept up with this one or any of the stuff I said I would like ya' know my lab work. Which was freaking sweet by the way if Organic Chemistry is your jam. If it isn't well...humbug to you sir.
To be very serious, Organic Chemistry and this internship was one of the hardest things i've ever done. I was thrown into very heavy academic material given a two week crash course then expected to do research. UM. It was like a recipe for disaster except, I worked with wonderful people like Lauralee and David our Graduate student. And the now infamous Tyler poster who is our proverbial hero.
It takes a village to raise a child, and it took a village to get Lauralee and I up to snuff on Organic Chemistry. But once we were the time flew by our research took off and we were really starting to get the hang of it near the end. Learning how real science works was fascinating. I grew so much as a person by understanding all that goes into one step of research all of the processes, all the notes, all the harried hours of problem solving. And I wouldn't trade a minute of it. Not a single-moment. It was frustrating often, but I met loads of new people and I gained the value of patience and real problem solving. It's something I hope I can look back to with happy thoughts.
