Great Day in Chem Lab

Had an excellent day in the chem lab today. Collected fractions! We have an organic compound with impurities. We run it through a column of silica gel and solvent to separate the impurities. I get to collect the runoff in small doses to separate the stuff. You would think it would be boring. It's grunt work. But I loved every minute of it and left the lab with a huge grin on my face. I'm such a freak.
