Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[odeon]

I got a percentile rank of 80.5 on the STAT test (received the results just a few minutes ago). I'm the happiest man alive now.

What's a STAT test? Congrats, anyway, although I suppose the congrats will possibly mean more to you when I know what it is.

[odeon]

and considering how I managed to completely ignore the follow-up posts before asking, I probably wouldn't score very high on anything right now.

Thanks, guys. STAT test in Australia is sort of like an entry test into some universities for adults who've been out of school for quite a while. The one I did (two months ago) was a multiple choice test of 70 questions that test how well you can read what's provided to you and answer the questions based on the given texts. Sort of like an IQ test but different in that it tests for reading comprehension and analysis skills (I think).

Also, just realized it would've gone higher had I had a better vocabulary (only 47.3 percentile rank in Verbal). But overall, this should be more than enough to get me into a course like Psychology.

Well done x

Psychology eh?    i volunteer to sit on your couch for practice analysis 

[Calavera]

Well, since my goal is actually through conducting experiments, I'll be sure to treasure you as a precious experimental subject. Sort of like my number one Guinea Pig.

Thanks, anyhow. Your comments always make me smile.

Oh, thanks to Odeon as well.

The doctor put me on a 6-month course of oral terbinafine hydrochloride after my toenails tested positive for fungus.  The good part of it is that I should finally be able to clear up all the annoying fungal infections that have been bothering me for years and that I've been unable to permanently clear with topical creams.

Did a well-received presentation today.

[Parts]

More calls about work and I had a neighbor of the house I am working on ask me to give them a price to work on their house.

Several good things today:

Walking home from picking up my meds from the pharmacy, found a five pound note, just blowing down the road. Just as I'd spent some money on topping up my phone too.

My old man gave me the heads up that the guy I sometimes do metalwork for wants 100 quid worth of the bolts that are used for setting the depth guides for fret saws as used in guitar manufacture.

Old man is just setting up the lathe in the shed, so while he goes to hospital to see my mother. She hasn't been well, came down with norovirus, or something similar (aka the winter vomiting bug, rarely fatal, but extremely contagious, and will leave one essentially shitting and vomiting out of both ends simultaneously. She is recovering though.


Got a new dealer for herb. Not actually checked the guy yet though, didn't need to the night I randomly walked past the guy in town, only for him to ask if I smoked weed. I'd just picked up some methyl-AM-2201, AM-2201, and some tetramethylcyclopropanyl based synthetic cannabinoid legal smoking blend.

I figure when I have some spare cash, which will be soon, I'll check him out, just for something small, ten bag to an 8th, to make sure he is legit.

The metalwork job shouldn't take too long, haven't made any in a while,but it isn't difficult, its a pleasant way to while away the time too, I enjoy the work. 100 quid, tax free, cash in hand isn't anything to be sniffed at either

I'm sure you will spend it wisely.  Or give some to your poor old dad to help out your poor old mom.  Yer a good kid like that.

First grade for last semester posted. 

Will spend all day refreshing that page looking for the rest though they might not come for another week

Oh, my old man does the same work himself actually MLA. He is helping me out learning the trade, as he used to make guitars back in the day. He has been teaching me how to set up, maintain the lathe, do the welding where needed, etc.

As for what I intend to spend it on...aside from the essentials, food/drink and the like, I'm going to be investing most of it into projects I have going that should make me more money. Well, all but one of my projects. The other is for myself, working on a novel nootropic, DM-235, one of the AMPAkines, intended to facilitate learning and memory acquisition. Not sure as that would sell, although I guess it might, amongst those sort of people who currently use the 'racetams, anticholinesterases, and other such cognitive enhancers. As DM-235 is, to the best of my knowledge, not available anywhere from any of the online nootropic vendors. Looks very good on paper, and the research journals I've been reading on the stuff have produced some excellent results in rats, with a very good toxicological profile.

Actually, if I could convince her, I think my mom would very likely benefit from it, as her memory and cognitive abilities have really declined over the past few years, and I'd be happy to share it with her once the synthesis is complete.

Keep it up!  Most of the big pharmacological breakthroughs come from autistic guys in their parent's basements.  You would be shocked at the breakthroughs I have read about on this site, truly amazing stuff.  Did you know that there is a pizza delivery man who is going to build dirigibles that will put a space elevator in orbit?

Using your mother, who is already in bad health, as a guinea pig for your basement pharmacology experiments sounds like a real shitty idea to me.

The compound in question isn't one of my inventions, the research has already been done.

I'm running the synthesis for me, but by weight, its highly potent. Even doing a pilot run on the scale of 8g (the amount of piperazine I have handy for the starting precursor), that will leave a good few thousand doses, assuming no dramatically low-yielding step somewhere down the line.

I just thought it would be a good thing to suggest it, explain it to my mom, and make the offer. Rather than sitting on something that might be of help to her.

Made good headway on my guitar/guitar making tool parts order this evening.

Few hours work at the lathe, aside from being an enjoyable evening. halfway or sp towards finishing the job.
