trippy

We started chapter 2 in organic chem today, and I had an extra hour after class, so I read as much as I could. I just have to say that I love the naming conventions of organic chemistry very much now. When a molecule can be named "1,7,7-Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane" and that name be actually accepted by people of the profession, that's very nice. And the name contains every bit of information you can have about the molecule's structure. It's makes use of every single syllable: there aren't any sounds just thrown in there to make it sound pretty. So wonderfully inovative.
