Elements and that Jazz

I had my chemistry lab today. And actually I wasn't really prepared for the lab-- yanow, actually reading it and all. But, I was very presently surprised how much I liked this particular lab.

The lab was the first of many Qualitative Analysis (which means that instead of using specific measuremetns and numbers (Quantitative Analysis) you draw conclusions and connections based on observasions of color changes, prepititates forming, etc.) and I thought it was fantastic. It's not often that I really enjoy my classes, but I'm escited for when I start taking chemistry classes more suited to my interests.  As I mentioned though, this is the first of many qualitative labs, so I'm very excited for this next couple of weeks.

Also, great about qualitative-- you can't screw up sig figs. I hate sig figs possibly more than calculus.
