In a week, I'll be with N.A. Forever. (muhahahaha) We've lived together before, but not in such final terms. Final meaning our stuff is now meshed together, we both have permanent jobs (chemistry gods willing), and we'll have a joint lease.
Clearly, it is time for the next step. We are ready for the ultimate commitment.
I've been waiting for it for awhile, and finally N.A. popped the question (over the phone):
"Unbal, would you like to sign up for a joint cell phone plan with me?"
If only we had a camera to immortalize the moment, but alas... he popped the question over the phone.

School's out for summer!
Grades are in. Many a celebratory beer has been consumed. Students are gone. Sure, some will be back in a few weeks for summer research, but for now things are quiet.
I've started packing up my office in anticipation of the move. Okay, so I'm not so much packing up yet as sorting through the embarrassingly high mounds of random papers. But still. The countdown to the relocation (and moving in with N.A.!) has begun. In less than a month, I'll be settling in to my new job.
PhDLadyBug over at Non tenured Assistant Professor has posed an interesting question about summer productivity. "What is your best advice to make the best out of the summer months?" She writes. By all means click on over and give your two cents; goodness knows that many of us will need more than just the luck of the chemistry gods to have a productive summer after THIS crazy semester.
Anyone else beyond burned out? I know that I'm going to need a LOT more chocolate cake (and beer) before I'll be feeling like getting some actual class prep or research accomplished.

I am living proof that...
...if your students make a wish on the very first crystal that appears in their test tubes, their wish will come true.
Apparently they were all wishing that I would come down with food poisoning* and be unable to finish their finals.
Of course, they underestimate my multitasking abilities: barf, write, blog, barf, calculate....
*Funny but true: of all the crap I ate today-- chocolate cake, chips, chocolates...I'm pretty sure it was a salad that did me in. I guess I should have stuck to sugar??
