Welcome to the Warwick Chemistry CH161 Organic Chemistry Blog. The purpose of this blog is to provide a forum for questions/answers/comments about the lectures and problem sets.
For reference, the CH161 website is here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/chemistry/chemintra/ugstudy/yr1/yr1modules1112/ch161/
If you are having difficulty with the lectures, tutorials, workshops or quizes or confused about anything in the module, post your questions here and I'll try to tackle them asap.
Hopefully this will provide more opportunity for feedback and interaction.
Best wishes,
Andy C.

I tried to find a mates warwick email address today.
Instead of getting the simple little email search page, I get the entire Warwick website search page with the ‘People’ tab selected. OK then, let’s see if it works…
I’m not sure if his “real name” is Nick or Nicholas (or any other spelling), so I search for “n surname”.
I then see that it’s not just searching for “People”, but also “Web”, “Blogs” and “Exam Papers”. Why on earth would I want to search for my mates email address in exam papers!?
Because the letter ‘n’ generated so many hits in exam papers, my browser cannot cope with the amount of data and promptly crashes.
I try again, using the “Refine Search” option. But can I find a link to email address or similar? No. Nothing remotely related to that.
Why have they changed something simple and useful to something complicated and useless?
IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT!

Has anyone noticed that the family in this episode have the same names as a series of book characters used to teach Latin in schools?
EDIT: Oh, after watching “Confidential” my suspicion was confirmed. They are the character names from the Latin course taught to Russel T Davies himself! I remember this from my appalling record in Year 7-9 Latin. Those odd coloured books from the Cambridge Latin Course, pulished by the CUP

Hello World!
Well, I’ve finally got round to blogging again. It’s been a while, and so much has happened in my life. I could try to remember it all, but I would offend anyone if I forgot something. So how about some highlights…
So at the end of the Second Term, it has all got a bit serious
I have my last day in lab to actually DO some Chemistry; I have an essay to write for my last module; I have a WSAF application to do, and then I should be allowed to collapse.
Hopefully my last Term at this uni won’t completely kill me ;-)
Oh, and with exams in week 1, a Project deadline in week 6, and interview/presentation in week 8/9, it’s going to be busy!

Well, I’m back. Now in my 4th year, and still doing too much that probably isn’t Chemistry :-S Ah well.
I got my campus accommodation (Redfern) with my group of mates from my course, which is a good laugh. Shame I’m not there enough.
I’m one of the conductors of Wind Orchestra for the next year, which is bloody scary. Just did 20mins in the Free Concert on Tuesday in front of a Butterworth Hall audience. ARGH!! I’m also their Concert Manager, so have to remember all of my exec duties too.
So I started way back in 2004, and am STILL an undergrad. It’s slightly worrying when I can go out with mates who live in the local area, and realise that I’m the only undergrad there. (Thank god Laura was at Juicy’s 25th!)
Now I’ve just got to hope my 20-week research project with Guy Clarkson goes well. I’ve already managed to make some stupid errors. I’m going to blame a summer without labs and a lack of engaging my brain. Though it all sounds interesting (Getting a ring-like molecule to stay on an axle) and am quite looking forward to it.
So, I’m still here. I wonder if I want to leave in June 2008.

I sat through every graduation ceremony last week as part of the brass quintet. Here are the best moments.
Currently all I can remember. All suggestions welcome!

...and I’m on campus for the duration.
I’m playing in the Brass Quintet1 that entertains the masses before and after each degree congregation. This means we get to play the same set of music ten times over the course of the week. Fun (!)
We’ve got campus accommodation (International House), free breakfast (Rootes Restaurant), free lunch (Buffet) and even a small amount of pay! Not bad for just over an hours playing each day. The slight downside is that we have to sit through the entirety of each ceremony, and it can get a bit tiresome hearing the same speech from the VC (or C if he’s shown up). Though it can be quite fun finding someone you know in the list of names and remembering to “Whoop!”
With us in halls are the Jazz Band (TUB2), the Arts Centre Stewards and the Chamber Choir, who are all working throughout the week. TUB are out on the Piazza (if it’s dry) and the Chamber Choir are in the Butterworth Hall with us.
Even though we are getting all this food and stuff, I still don’t know if I’ll come out of the week with a profit. What with all these evenings socialising with either the Quintet or the Choir (I seem to be the only person crossing over between these 2 groups!) I think my bank balance (or lack of one) is going to take a slight hit :S
Tonight is a Bengal Curry organised by Tebay (and Lu who created by the Facebook group) and the last I heard it seems we will be taking over a large portion of the curry house. Ah well, they love us really! It’ll be great to see lots of mates, some of who are leaving Warwick this year. It’s yet another opportunity to say goodbye. We’ve had end-of-term, tour, and now graduation week, so it’s all getting a bit repetitive!
Right, time to choose some music for Wind Orchestra for next term.
Ta-ra!
1 Joe Cooney (Trumpet), Bruce Davies (Trumpet), Tom Middleton (French Horn), Ed Kent (Trombone) and me (Tuba).
2 Sam Hancock (Drums), Joe Davison (Keyboard), Matt Shields (Bass Guitar) and Warren Frenandez (Alto Sax/Vocal).

I finished my 3rd year exams on Friday. They’ve not been that good, tbh, but Friday’s felt like my best. We shall see when we finally get the results at the end of term 3.
Now I have one of the busiest Easter’s EVER! Thank goodness I don’t have revision on top of everything else :)
I should now have time to start blogging again! Yey! Procrastination returns!

I have an exam starting in just under 2 hours. And I’m absolutely bricking it.
I have (stupidly) just looked at a past paper, and have realised how little of the material for the 2 modules I’m about to be assessed on I actually know.
ARGH!!!
This is not going to go well :(
And this is followed by my audition to be a student conductor of Wind Orchestra next year!
Today is not going to be good!

I’ve just seen an advert for Carlsberg Beer featuring old England Football legends. “The Beer of England”. And it’s a Lager!
So, is this a British beer?
Well, we know Carlsberg isn’t, but I’m talking about Lager in general. Well, what came first? What was the first beer to be brewed or drunk in Britain?
Ale!
So why is the Football team associated with Lager? It annoys me!
We don’t appreciate British beer enough. It is something to be proud of, not to be hidden away.
It’s a lot better than it used to be. CAMRA (Campaigh for Real Ale) has grown in popularity, and promoted Ale to everyone. We’ve just had the Real Ale society’s festival, and by all acounts it was very successful. We do seem to be drinking Ale, even the young ones among us.
Ale is no longer just something you see old men in their local pubs. It is a much loved beverage by many people. Even without the backing of national advertising, its popularity still grows stronger.
Let’s hope it continues!
