Proof
So tonight Joe and I rented Proof. It was a really great movie, definitely gana buy it. It's quite inspiring which is often needed in the humdrum of academia. Made me remember how much I loved math, but it also helped me realize I could never have gotten a PhD in it! One of my students saw me writing today and he commented on writing for enjoyment. I explained I loved English and History, a myriad of other subjects besides Chemistry. I told him that I had picked Chemistry b/c I knew nothing could ever kill my love for it. When I'm in the lab doing my research, I'm in the zone. It's wonderful. That zone is inpenetrable by others and it's what keeps me sane. Looking forward to being able to get in the zone tomorrow and much more consistently now that the semester is almost over. I adore my kids and I love teaching. Teaching is in my blood and I know I'll do it someday, but right now my research is so exciting and has such awesome potential. I know this might sound sick to some of you, but it's always going on in my head. There's always something that should be done and even if I walk away from it and go home to grade or clean or cook or relax later on that night I'll think of how I could go check on something in the lab or do a little analysis that night to try to get ahead for the next day. It's gana be big and the guy that just got put on the project with me is excited too along with our prof. Hopefully we can keep the good momentum up and really make some breakthroughs.
Now to grade approximately 40 lab reports before I go to bed, then I'll only have 3 more sets till I'm caught up. Trying to get as much done as I can before the Easter weekend!
