AT LAST...COLLEGE IS OUT! (Patreon)

I just had my last exam today, and after I submit a paper for my undergraduate research lab (due Friday), I'll be getting back to YouTube!! You have no idea how much I've missed filming chemistry experiments...so many fun things to try, and yet there's never time to film them all!

My next video will be on making fake popcorn butter with diacetyl, and then I'll be moving on to fluorine...I've waited months to reattempt that synthesis, lol. I think I talked about it in previous posts, but now, I have >99.9% pure graphite electrodes and potassium bifluoride, along with a full-copper electrolysis cell that will fit up to a pound of bifluoride. In theory, I should have fluorine by the end of the year!

Regarding other videos, things are a bit blurry at the moment.

To tell the whole story, I've been living at home with my family and parents while going to college. Things are pretty lax when it comes to me filming YouTube content, but there is one stipulation: I have to pass all of my classes. And unless there is a miracle...I don't think I'll be passing my "Process dynamics and control" class this semester.

If that ends up being the case, I might not be filming very much new content. Fluorine is kinda unavoidable, since I signed a contract with a sponsor and got over $500 in parts. And I can still work with media that I already filmed (diacetyl, thioacetone, telluroacetone, sodium azide, etc)...but other than that, I don't know what'll happen. Worst case scenario: I wait until summer to film anything new beyond fluorine.

Regardless, stay tuned for new uploads, cuz they'll be coming a lot faster now that I can focus on the scripting/editing!

UPDATE: Miracles happen, I did manage to pass all of my classes! Chemistry, here I come!
