We’ve Got Great Chemistry

VAMOSSS! I hype myself up as my brain supercharges with dopamine from completing 200 chemical reaction prediction problems. Yeah, I know, sounds pretty geeky to celebrate solving some chemistry problems, but recently, I developed a certain fondness towards them, treating them moreso as puzzles than problems. My Apple-Pencil became nearly inseparable from my hand, and my wrists felt like they were about to contract arthritis as they blazed through problems. Still, no discovery comes without failed experiments; many times, I stared cluelessly at the page. How the hell is it Diels-Alder?? Even through confusion, I found myself smiling, truly obsessed.
