i don't want
anybody else
when i think about you
i touch myself

ooooohh

 

[runoutofsleep]

yeah i dunno

i want to say the massive lawn right in front of scitech

but who knows it could be anywhere

 

[Silver Persian]

Was your ban period productive zomg?

 

[Kwayera]

i love my science degree. all of my assignments are either google-able, require nothing but clicking things in excel, or plugging numbers into formulas. i would die doing an arts degree.

correction: you love your first year science degree

Hahah so true, just you wait

 

[Rafy]

but i am queen at recognising people.

yeh, people like me. lol.

My assignments are nothing like that :s

 

[rubificticious]

yeh, people like me. lol.

people like everyone, hey.

 

[Rafy]

haha oops, when, where?

 

[black_kat_meow]

haha oops, when, where?

You do it to me too.

My group member got three hours to put something together and she sends me this:

There are 2 main reasons for leaving school

1. Lack of interest in school
2. Desire for work

Variations in student motives i.e. underlying factors which contribute to their reasons for leaving:

1. Age of the leaver
2. Urban vs rural and remote leavers
3. Gender
4. Indigenous
5. Homeless and poor

I'm going to rip someone's jugular out. What is this?!

 

[Rafy]

people like everyone, hey.

even my sister. i think you win.

 

[black_kat_meow]

Really? all my physics ones are google-able, my psych ones are multiple choice with unlimited attempts (except my report), and my chem analysis due tomorrow is just plugging things into excel.. then all the rest are MC tests

have you done your chem report ?

Haven't finished yet, hopefully will get done before lab tomorrow.

Have done the easy excel bits, have you finished? What concentration did you use to work out the specific rotation, as there are 3 diff ones apparently? Rest is easy peasy.

I know it's stupidly simple, I"m just too tired, lol.

 

[Rafy]

always walking to redfern on wednesdays. always. keep a lookout.

will do.

 

[black_kat_meow]

almost, im up to part 4. ummm, you dont need concentration, just length, because you're using the gradient ([a]l/100)

3 different specific rotations..? i thought there were just two, one for each enantiomer

damn i'm tired, keep not being able to sleep, cant think.

I don't get it though, isn't it a=([a]l)/100 x c ?? How do you get the rotation from the gradient?

 

[black_kat_meow]

did you print off the task description? it has everything step by step

when you use the data analysis tool, you get the gradient, then it tells you that gradient = [a]l/100, so you dont even need concentration, you just use that formula

otherwise youll be plugging all the different values for concentration into the other formula and itll be 20 times more work.
where are you up to? end of part 2?

yeah, following instrcutions but tired. what do i do with the gradient tho, what does that mean in terms of determing the optical rotation?

 

[black_kat_meow]

have you done the data analysis?

the gradient is the "x variable 1" coefficient
gradient = [a]l/100
l = 1

so [a] = 100 x gradient

haha oh yeah, shit, you just sub it in, lol

told you i was tired, ahaha

thanks

 

[black_kat_meow]

hahaha yeah its ok im tired too, this assignment has taken me 5 hours when i should have finished ages ago :mad1:

getting up at 6am tomorrow. do not want..

dang, wow :s took me half an hour for the rest, was just blanking on that, hahaha

I'm at bens, so ill maybe sleep in until 8. (depends how noisy his house is, is usually terrible)

yeah, early mornings suck

 

[wixxy2348]

Will have finished writing final chapter of my thesis tonight - and then edit it over the next two days.

And then I have to go back and edit everything again, and then I will be done!

Yay grats sp

You can complain to your lecturer if they're not pulling their weight

 

[black_kat_meow]

haha, this is 5 hours amongst everything else. which is why its stupid, i could have knocked it over in an hour.

i think ill just assume wednesday is a strike and catch up on sleep..

do it, lol

I'm looking forward to the break to catch up on everything. missed heaps while in vic
