Some of my friends have heard of my battles with wishing to continue in the seemingly endless struggle to get into Medical school. While, many who have gotten in say this is the hardest part, Wired Magazine has recently published a snip it in the level of devotion such students may unfortunately take in order to achieve. I thought it was funny, so I’m sharing. You can visit the link at

Club,

Chem Day is coming up fast!  Those of you who will be contributing equations to the “balancing equations” contest and/or participating in Chem Day,  can we have a short meeting?  I’ve volunteered to type up and lay out your quiz document, if you’d like me to.

Your contest will be held in 306 and I’ll be next door running the periodic table contest in 304.  Donuts and coffee will be served up in the morning, contests start at 8 am and usually run until noon or 1.  Lunch is free for participants.

I’m available Wednesday morning, Thursday morning, and Thursday afternoon to chat with any and all of you.
