The least that I expect from today's Natural Product tutorial is a surprise test; I have been busy for the past few days with labs and preparing for the Open House presentation that I just want a smooth and usual tutorial. Murphy's law strike and it was made worse when I arrived late for it. We were required to devise the biosynthesis of a particular compound and I had mental block. Didn't produce much things in the end and I suppose I'll get zero for it. It's difficult to imagine that such things will happen to me but well, everyone have their bad hair days.

The most important thing now is to get the Open House slides ready, to give a good presentation for the next 2 days, to obtain some nice stuff from the lab to get publication and to prepare for my bioorganic and advanced coordination chemistry presentation.
