Research lab is almost as fun as class. All I had to do was sit in front of a computer and set up theoretical calculations on molecules. Fortunately, the grad students and post-docs weren't asses about it. Most flak I ever caught was one of them turning around in his chair when I entered lab and saying "I thought I smelled a (insert last name here)." It was hard not to crack up when he said that, but that let me know that nobody there gave a fuck, as long as I got the job done. And I could go outside and listen to my ipod / smoke a cig whenever I felt like it. Definitely nice. When I had hash, I spiked a couple cigs, kept that good feeling going all day long.
