So, I had to sheepishly admit over email that the assignment that all of my students have been working on for the last 2 weeks doesnt actually count for points; I feel like a manipulative punk, except I think it is good that they've been exposed to concepts for next year... haha, oh well, sucks to be them.
The semester is finally coming to a close and i can tell that life over the summer is going to be sweet (of course it'll be sweet, it'll be filled with chemistry!) After this, I only have one more class in the fall; at which point I'm done forever... I've done my 6, if I take another class ever again, it'll because I really want to be there... no offense to the good people that run classes and shit, but compulsory class taking can suck my fucking dick.
Now, that doesnt mean I dont want to learn, but I have absolutely no interest in stressing out over tests and doing homework and shit... I mean, c'mon, what is this? amateur hour? I've been in school for... too long , suffice it to say that I am looking forward to exploring my field.
Every now and then I think about how screwed my kids are, I've doomed them to a life of empiricism... at least we'll have fun, celebrating Pi day (3/14), Mole day (10/23 @ 6:02), and possibly the birthdays of some great physicists...
I'm just coming to terms with the idea of not being able to tell people what I do at cocktail parties, my boss told me that she makes up a new job every time; so, I suppose I should abandon the idea of actually being forthright.
Its wierd, science is so insidious that its made its way into my political beliefs; my vote is going to whichever candidate will give the most money to science (NIH preferably)...
Its been a long time since I've posted, I really should more often...
