Gah! The computer program which is running the rheometer I’m currently using is acting WEIRD. Very weird. Perhaps it’s because it’s in the Macromolecular Science building and owned by a professor in the Macromolecular Science Department. Anything with a name like Macromolecular Science which could be more simply called Polymer Science or That-Which-Lisa-Detests-Probably-Mostly-Because-Of-Dastardly-Old-Dr.-Johns Science has got to be a pretentious bit o’ bad news.
The good thing about it is that it’s at least semi-warm in this building. I do not possess the proper clothes for biking in sub-zero weather. This was made painfully obvious to me this morning as I just about froze to death on the measly half mile ride from Ken’s apartment to school. I had taken his car to Bible study then home last night. I’m SO glad I had it. There’s no way I would have lived through 2.4 miles of biking. I’m dreading the thought of heading back home. I think I’ll just stay here, hanging out in a Macro lab cursing the rheometer until it warms up to at least 5 degrees.
Ooh, results finally. Why the heck would grease heated to 100 C be MORE viscous than grease at a 23 C?! This machine is possessed.
