I finally finished my Crystal growing experiment from chemistry, it turned out pretty sweet! It's a chromium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate crystal inside of a aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate crystal. Cool, eh? Here's a pic of the beauty. Okay, so it won't post the pic, but I'm sure for all you who are non-nerds it wouldn't have been that exciting anyway.

And heres a pic of my tree, so the decorations are a little skimpy but I'm working on it. I'm still trying to figure out how to make a strand of DNA for garland. It needs to be rigid enought to hold the double stranded alpha right handed helix but flexible enough so that i can pack it away easily for next year. Oh and check out the classy tree stand!
