Somehow Ochem Professors Are Always A Little Bit Insane But In A Good Way

Somehow ochem professors are always a little bit insane but in a good way

Rewatching organic chemistry lectures to prepare for an exam, but instead of taking notes, I’m writing down the weird things my professor says. And so…

An incomplete list of the unhinged stuff my organic chemistry professor has said:

Rule one in organic chemistry: carbon is a working girl. It bonds with basically everything

This is an alcohol. Something quite popular amongst students, I believe

A thiol kinda looks like an alcohol. But alcohols are usually enjoyed, whereas thiols is what skunks use when you’re stupid and unfortunate enough to piss them off. Do with that what you will.

There will come an age when your doctor gets worried about your high cholesterol levels, which often makes people wonder why we even have cholesterol if too much of it is so unhealthy. Let’s say it like this: if suddenly all your cholesterol vanished, your doctor would be pleased but you wouldnt be. You’d be a puddle on the floor.

How to know whether an anion is stable? Rule number one, and I’m sorry to say this, but gentlemen, your girlfriends lied. Because size does matter.

No self respecting scientist uses the IUPAC- naming system. But you still need to know it for the exam. Sucks to be you

An addition reaction is the most romantic reaction in chemistry: two things become one. But romance never lasts, and so just like that, one thing can fall apart into two again

For the exam, the bar is nearly on the floor. Just don’t write anything that is impossible and you’re good. And yet every year there are students who dig beneath the bar and fail anyway

The Sanger reaction was named after chemist Frederick Sanger, who is the only chemist to ever receive 2 Nobel prizes in chemistry. Marie Curie was also a chemist who got 2 Nobel prizes, but one of those was for physics so that’s a bit more complicated. Of course, there’s also the chemist Linus Pauling, who got 2 Nobel prizes as well… but one of them was the Nobel prize of peace and those don’t count

finished the last couple of chapters of Nona yesterday and when I tell you I was sobbing!!

the amount of times that Nona says she’s hot and beautiful while in Harrows body, but then detesting the body John gave her, the one that looks like a Barbie. I read a post about it maybe being understood as the Earth liking her indigenous body (Harrow) versus being horrified at being put in a westernised ideal of beauty? and I think that’s a great interpretation.

also,, the writing style of Alecto’s chapter?? please, let the fourth book be mainly written like that I’m on my knees begging. it was a trip but sooooo fun to read (including Gideon’s (get in line, thou big slut) and Ianthe and Harrow’s exchange (I think it’s them) of ‘my sweet I only die of longing for thee’ ‘then perish’.

actually, I take that back, you know what would be even funnier? Moonjo as Sooyeol, and Jongwoo being his conscience, beating him up whenever he has the ~slightest~ inclination to un-alive somebody

i cannot possibly start another piece but:

Bad and Crazy AU where instead of pushing him to do good, and being his conscience, Moonjo is trying to rile Jongwoo, who's a good-hearted albeit unhinged police man, up.

but like Jongwoo is still annoyed that he HAS to set Moonjo straight

so i don’t think a lot of people really understand how often south asian culture is misinterpreted and appropriated so i’m making a post about it right here.

any mention of third eyes

any mention of chakras

people wearing bindis when they shouldn’t be

fucking “om” or “aum” tattoos or appliques on things like yoga pants. do you know how fucking disrespectful it is to put a symbol that is so important to my religion and culture on the ass of some white chick’s yoga pants

people wearing maang tikka when they shouldn’t be

anklets with bells on them are very important to the dance culture of south asia and it’s disrespectful to wear them outside of a traditional dance setting

feel free to add any more that i missed because i’m fucking tired

i've had this thought for a while, but bad and crazy's first episode is categorized as the mlm version of king princess' "pain" mv in my brain

Tags

bad and crazy k lee dongwook wi hajoon ryu sooyeol i mean there's fighting and queerness in both also those colours of the mv (mainly that blue and the bright red) remind me of b&c posters the lyrics fit sooyeol's angst-o-meter that's a perpetual 100%
