I decided it would be a good idea to start keeping a blog b/c I thought it would help me to stay in touch with my friends/family. I made the title of my blog "lifeofachemist" because I'm going to start grad school this August, and I kind of figure everything I do for the next few years after that will be related to school... even still, I'm kind of looking forward to starting. Maybe I will write about my research here..
