The week is only half over, but it feels like it's been two weeks, or three! In reality, I haven't done too much this week, right? Let's see: had a total of 4 class sessions and only 1 dance rehearsal. Granted, I've read a good lot of pages this week and, oh yeah, 7 hours in lab so far. It feels like it's been a full week. My body is tired and I am still waiting for stuff to rotovap down. Ohhhhh....ethyl acetate. Why there is so much of you??
In addition, Kelsey is sick, so I have been charged to stay away until he gets better. GET BETTER!

I'm back in my room now just chilling out. And I just remembered that it's Wednesday and that means Treasures of Yale day. We went to see the Sterling Map Collection (which has some insane number of maps and globes and stuff, over 14,000 of which are digitized) and we had some great analysis of a Oaxacan deerhide map and some beautiful European sea charts. I have super low quality pictures on my phone which does not pick up color like it should, but seeing the maps and hearing Dean Miller (who's got such a passion for them) speak was wonderful. It was like analyzing art and it makes me wonder what "twenty-first century art" will be in three hundred years.
