While I was in the darkroom earlier tonight, developing some pictures for my photocomm class, there was a bit of a chemical mishap.  Basically, the stop bath was out, so a viscomm student decided to refill it on her own, and having no idea what she was doing, poured the whole jug of stop bath (which is supposed to be diluted 16:1 with water) into the tray… And it stayed like that for oh, 4 or 5 minutes before I was like “ummm, I can’t breathe, what in the world is going on” and then rushed over to get the chemicals back into the jug.  So I ended up breathing in way more stop bath fumes than any human should ever be exposed to, and in the process burnt my nostrils and got a wonderful headache.  Needless to say, I’m praying that I wake up in the morning.
