Needless to say, everybody was hungry at 10 am. I made a dilution of one of my favorite products, ethyl maltol, which smells like caramel and red berries (and is in Angel by Thierry Mugler). The pure comes in powder form, so I crafted a funnel out of paper and tape since regular pipettes wouldn't do the job. Unfortunately, I sprayed powder everywhere in the process,including down my labcoat. At least I smell "tasty" now. At least I don't smell like extremely powerful straight melted butter. Somebody else took care of the diacetyl.

I read a really great book, Buddhism: Plain and Simple, by Steve Hagen. It was exciting because it outlined many concepts I already thought, from my other readings, my own experience, and my time in Japan. Read it and get back to me with your comments!
I can also recommend: My Sister's Keeper, The Glass Castle, Without Remorse (Tom Clancy), and its sequel Rainbow Six, which I just started.

I haven't read "Buddhistm: Plain and Simple", but I did read "The Accidental Buddhist" by Dinty Moore, which is a pretty good read on American Buddhism (which mixes the best, in my opinion, of almost all the Buddhist traditions), which I think you might find interesting.
Nice blog on your experience at perfume school! It gives a flavour of what it's like at perfume school. Thanks for sharing!
