I'm back (sort of). I hope you have all been well. I passed all my classes in one go this semester, so I am currently having a short break before the start of the second semester. Life has been interesting in this new year, I am moving forward at a rapid pace and yet I feel stuck to the earth, drowning in one spot. So much is happening and yet absolutely nothing is happening, it's this subjectivity of experience that has been a bit disorienting me as of late. Regardless, I'm curious to see where I'll end up.

ended up doing an all-nighter, so (unsuprisingly) today was heavily caffeinated & very unorganised

17.01.22, monday

classes started again today and I actually managed to do everything I wanted to. Here’s to hoping this sticks, feels good going to sleep and not feeling the “oh shit I have 4 days worth of studying to do tmrw” dread

[fannistudies]

the little progress you have made today still matters.

chemistry moodboard request from @prekaer. | chlorine is a deadly poison gas employed on european battlefields in world war i. sodium is a corrosive metal which burns upon contact with water. together they make a placid and un-poisonous material, table salt. why each of these substances has the properties it does is a subject called chemistry.

Like water... slip trough fingers, but hold up a ship...

I got my first grades back, they were fine. Better than average, but to be frank I don't really care. I'm happy with my course, happy with most of my teachers and as long as I pass it's all fine. I'm trying to balance the workload and the rest of my life, so far I would say it's going fine. I'm looking to change my life, as I'm not satisfied where I am and hope to achieve where I wish to be. Life is just life, and it's just fine.

Caffeine Extraction Lab

Okay so I’m hoping to keep this page updated with all my labs and info from the post lab reports. I’m currently taking organic chemistry so these should be really interesting.

Today I had to isolate caffeine from green tea. This would have been so much more fun if I hadn’t had to get up at 5:00 am to do it. Honestly, I still had fun with it, extractions are just interesting. Anyway, all I have today is the procedure for the extraction (the fun part starts Friday).

First step was pretty much just boiling tea on a hot plate. It was a small amount, about 40 mL. Not too hard (still managed to over boil :’)). I added about a gram of sodium carbonate after that. Second step involved mixing the tea with dichloromethane in a seperatory funnel and filtering three times. The resulting solution is just dichloromethane and caffeine along with some other impurities.

After that I added sodium sulfate (about 2g) and filtered through a funnel with some glass wool into a round bottom flask. About 10 minutes in a rotovap and I got the crude caffeine.

That’s all for now, I’ll be sure to update after I’ve purified it and finished my report :)
