Acid Promoted Amide Hydrolysis

Oh my I just cannot focus this week at all. I'm blaming all this on the fact that I am currently afflicted with an infection of my bronchial tubes. I skipped class today, because I just did not feel like going in my current state. I have not slept for a week now, and it's totally taking a toll on me. Being sick sucks, period. I have a very important O.Chem final tomorrow night, yet I'm not even halfway through studying the reactions. I am so screwed, and if I have to retake this class, I am going to scream and stuff. So hopefully I don't absolutely fail, but it's very likely that I will indeed fail because apparently this exam is the one where the average is in the 40s. Seriously, why do I take these difficult science classes that I'm not even very good at? Trying to learn the acid promoted amide hydrolysis for over 2 hours now, and it's weirdly complicated in the fact that the amide group actually adds on a proton from a H3O+ molecule. And amides are acidic. And basically every carboxylic acid derivative can become a carboxylic acid? And ROH and H2O and H2SO4 and SOCl2 and AHHHHH. I hate this.

In other news, since my life is never fantastically interesting, I have actually been approved by the co-op I wish to live at next year, so I'm crossing my fingers again that everything will work out. Also, whilst I was procrastinating by stalking people on facebook (which is what everybody does, right?) I looked up these guys I used to have crushes on back in high school. And can I just say that even though I've done this a few times before, I have never been so disgusted at how they have aged. Like, remember that one guy I used to like who had a fascination with drugs? Um, he totally looks like a homeless person now. He looks like one of those people that hit on me in nightclubs and I just give them a disgusted look. Remember how I always say I have liked 2o guys in total before? Scratch that. I have only liked 2-3 guys. And also my taste in men has informed dramatically. I like guys that are intelligent, are enrolled in university, have goals in life, listen to good music, have good hygiene and decent fashion, etc. Basically the perfect guy for me would dress in that lovely white-boy hipster style and have an interest in artsy things. He'll be open to new things and like dogs. Oh gosh I really need to study now, will write more later.
