Oh, and by the way, I am the Organic Chemistry Goddess!!

As I sit here and munch on my peanut butter and banana sandwich (so good!), two things cross my mind. One, it's really late and I have a lot of studying to do tomorrow, and two, I am a genius at organic chemistry. Ok, so I have more thoughts than that. I'm actually thinking that I was incredibly stupid to quit working my brain after taking care of my organic chemistry homework earlier today. I have two tests on monday, and granted, they are relatively easy classes and one test doesn't scare me at all, I still should have cracked open a book today. But did I? No. What did I do today? I woke up after noon, had brunch, came back, cleaned house, fought tooth and nail for a washer machine and then brought out the big guns when it came time to find a dryer. Seriously, nine washers and ten dryers are not enough for all of the residents in my dorm. There are two sides to the dorm, so how about two separate laundry rooms? I have never seen our laundry room as crowded as it was today and how dare those people in there remove my clothing from a dryer when I arrived a minute after the dryer stopped! Anyway, I managed to do my laundry, had an excellent dinner (chicken cordon-bleu, hush puppies, and the best cream of broccoli soup ever), and then I came back here to read and fold my laundy (doing laundry does not mean folding it). Oh, and I decorated the room for Halloween. I got some streamers, some balloons, and some motion-sensing props. Not to mention a booby-trap or two for my unsuspecting roommate, and two fake bloody hands stuck to our mirror. I hope my fabulous roommate has some more halloween stuff, because we both love halloween. Love love love love it!

Somehow I got distracted (it happens, I know). I was saying that I am a genius in organic chemistry. I just get it. It helps that I have an awesome professor who anthropomorphizes everything, from screaming carbocations and friendly alkyl pumps to dumb oxygens equipped with lone pairs and nucleophilic backdoor entries (sounds kinky, huh?). I got organic chemistry I very well, making out with an A+ in that class. And now my roommate is in organic I and I've been able to help her out a little, along with her friend, and it makes me feel so good to see them actually get something because of what I said. And then I have a friend who sits next to me in organic II who occasionally calls me for help on the homework and then when I help her to understand the concept, she tells me I'm a lifesaver and that I need to work in the tutorial center because none of the people there had a clue how to help her. My supercool roommate has also reccomended that I work in the tutorial center and has even said that I need to be a teacher (I've thought about it, really, I have!). When it comes time for me to do my homework, I usually (not always) get it correct on the first submission (it's all online) and I can do so without looking at any reference materials (notes, slides, ect). In fact today, I got everything correct on the first submission without one look at my notes or anything to guide me except my organically-minded brain. All this has made me feel like a genius in organic chemistry, but if you'll remember, the title of this blog says that I am the goddess of organic chemistry. I had my first test in organic II. I studied for maybe three hours total, I wasn't worried at all about the exam, and didn't miss a single point the exam - I made a 101! That in my book makes me an organic chemistry goddess! And now if you'll excuse me, this goddess has to get back to her sandwich. Mmmmmm......
