Table of Contents

A table of contents was mandated by the lab instructor's decree, and space was allotted at the beginning of both the book and the term for such a list. It was updated each week with the newest experiment. The pages were also numbered at the lab instructor's command.

Yes, I know this is boring. Don't worry: it will get (slightly) more interesting in the coming weeks. But, then again, you're reading a blog that is centered around someone's organic chemistry notebook, so you have surrendered your right to complain about not being thrilled and stimulated.
