Lauren Mayes psychology senior

Senior admits she doesn't know what she's doing, warns against espresso double shots

Wildcat: My name is Nathan and you're On the Spot.

Mayes: And my name is Lauren Mayes. I'm a senior at the UA...

Wildcat: You don't have to make it all personal like that.

Mayes: Okay, never mind.

Wildcat: So, this breeze ÷ isn't it romantic?

Mayes: I think so. The air ... the crisp air is pretty nice.

Wildcat: I'm totally falling in love with everything around me, right now. So your studying NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance)?

Mayes: Yep.

Wildcat: Do you even understand what you're doing?

Mayes: Not really.

Wildcat: And you're about to handle very expensive equipment right now?

Mayes: Yes, this is true.

Wildcat: (flipping through textbook) Look at this. Electromagnetic radiation ... electric fields ... molecular spectroscopy ...

Mayes: That's why I'm reading up on it: So I understand what I'm doing.

Wildcat: My NMR days are over. Although I got an A in my organic chemistry class. Lab, I should say.

Mayes: See? Yeah. I think the labs are more useful than the actual class. I got a C in the lecture and a B in the lab.

Wildcat: The labs are better furnished than most of the bathrooms here, wouldn't you say?

Mayes: I would think so too. Yeah.

Wildcat: Yeah. All those little cool wash stations and fire extinguishers and goggles and aprons.

Mayes: And there's always soap.

Wildcat: I remember one time I had too many shots in my coffee and I was running around with, like, a cape. That was terrible.

Mayes: Yeah. No more double shots of cappuccino in your coffee.

Wildcat: Yeah. I have to stay away from that stuff.

Mayes: It was espresso. That's probably what it was.
