The past few weeks have been pretty uneventful. I'm not sure how much I like my toxicology prof, who also happens to be my faculty advisor. She keeps drawing her benzene rings/phenyl groups without double bonds, which makes me squirm. She also says things like "Ok, in this slide the little smiley faces are the toxin, and the little pink box is the receptor they are trying to bond to. In this slide, the toxins are now metabolites and have been activated, as you can see by the fact that the smiley faces are purple." I guess I can't blame her for being girly, and she just isn't accustomed to teaching the chemistry side of toxicology. I probably just haven't seen her upsides yet.
On the other hand, I'm really liking my organic chemistry professor. We were making these things in lab that involved melting a small glass tube in a flame, then stretching it out. When it was my turn, I guess I impressed him with my technique, because he clapped me on the back and said "Wow, that's great! You are a master of flame." I had already known that for years, but it still made me happy to hear.

Hey, Master of Flame, did you get your flaming sword back from the evidence locker yet? We have criminals to smite!
