Updating my previous rants about the ever-so-dreaded Inorganic Chemistry class I was taking this semester, I passed it. Granted, it was by the skin of my teeth. But I passed it with a C. So now I can breathe a little easier. I won't have to take this class ever again and can even look into selling the textbook back to the bookstore during their ( Read more... )
