Blast from the Past

To make a really long story short, I just spent the past week glued to the pages of our mass and energy balances (abbrev'd MEB by my boss, a term i had never thrown around), thermo, and UO books coming up with retarded phase, equilibrium, and vaporization curves for obscure substances for a project that i don't completely understand...this is the first instance of anything chemistry related that i have touched hahaha...but it was an enjoyable blast from the past and my boss and i struggled through it considerably, though i have absolutely no excuse seeing as i have only been out of practice for a couple of months and she abandoned chemE like ten years ago haha...i considered calling some of you when i was having issues with the ideal gas law...kidding...haha

BUT i finally purchased my ticket for sf and have informed everyone at work that i will be taking a personal day to honor the birth of our presidents that monday, so im super excited to see everyone...im not getting in until late on friday so im probably going to have to figure out a way to meet up with you guys, but i'm going to try to go into work for a few hours that friday...jaime that plate is hysterical and i would like to try to acquire one...

also i am posting at 1 am on a work night because i have developed a new plague called i cant sleep, like seriously, and it is starting to affect my life haha.  i decided that, after this phenomenon started, i would try reading for a while every night before going to bed to see if i could make myself tired.  i made the mistake of starting the twilight book series as a part of my home remedy, and although it has not captured my heart in the same way that harry potter did, i stayed up until 3 and 4 in the morning every night for like two weeks reading those stupid books because i couldn't put them down...so my problem continues.  if there are large purple bags under my eyes when i see you all in january, don't be frightened.
