Turns out "wet" chemistry labs are a lot of work

Tomorrow is the first "wet" (i.e. using an actual lab instead of doing worksheets) organic chemistry lab session. These sessions require copying the entire procedure by hand from an eBook into a physical lab notebook for use in the lab. This turns out to be quite an ordeal, since the procedure is extensive and there are some other sections to prepare too. On the plus side, this first lab probably won't require the full four-hour period allocated for the class.
