"Just" finished... (I've given the final exams in June)
I've lost my chance...  ;D

Us postdocs want friends too!
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.

@Mr.Teo : I guess so  :(  No, I was kidding  :) Are you planning to study chemistry at university?
@Mitch : Cool. Where are you working at?

Yeah, now I'm taking an exam to enter a higher learning institution... let's hope it all goes well  ::) Otherwise I'll study chemistry in a university not far from home...

Oh really? UCLA is a fine school. Hey Mitch maybe you can give me some advice on choosing which school to apply. I'm thinking about Berkeley, I did some research and found out it's a good school for chemistry, but my parents are thinking otherwise: they prefer ivy league schools. So, I'm not sure what to do. So far I tried to persuade them but it's unsuccessful.

I got my doctorate at Berkeley, it is by far the best school for Chemistry and science in general.
