Q for QUINOLOGY

Or--Q for Quickie
which is probably a good thing after our 
super  l  o  n  g   P-post yesterday.  



Confession time. 


I'm freaking oooouuutttt. 

Today is my last pre-written posts. I had up to Q finished with R and S in rough shape before the challenge. So after this post, I've essentually got  nothing left--zilch. Hence, me freaking out. And since the start of the challenge, I've done nothing to stay ahead of the game. Yes, it's my fault. Yes, I'm a procrastinator, and yes I constantly live in the state of freaking the holy hell out.  But, that's my problem. I'll still manage to bring you the best of the best of ologies, well except for today. Turns out Q is slim pickings as far as -ologies go. Quinology was all I could find that was semi-serious. I guess it's better than Q for Qtipology (which I just made up but you never know, maybe it does exist).  But look on the bright side, at least you get a quickie today, and that starts with Q! 


Quinology is the science that deals with the cultivation of the cinchona tree. There are 38 different species in the genus Chinchona that yields  C 2 0  H 2 4  N 2  O 2 ,  an alkaloid called quinine. Quinine is important because it is used in the medical field to treat malaria.

And that's a wrap!

I'm sure you guys can make up with some great q_ology words. :D 

Happy Friday.
Enjoy your weekend.
Try to get out of the house and do something fun.
Get into trouble. 
Then blog about it.
(:
