“You know, there’s a question I get asked a lot. Whether I’m accepting an honorary doctorate or performing a citizen’s arrest, people ask me, ‘Sue, what’s your secret?’ Well, I’ll tell you my secret, western Ohio. Sue Sylvester’s not afraid to shake things up. You know, I’m tired of hearing people complain, ‘I’m riddled with this disease’ or ‘I was in that tsunami.’ To them I say, shake it up a bit. Get out of your box. Even if that box happens to be where you’re living. I often yell at homeless people, ‘Hey, how’s that homelessness working out for you? Give not being homeless a try, huh?’ You know something, Ohio?
“It’s not easy to break out of your comfort zone. People will tear you down and tell you that you shouldn’t have bothered in the first place. But let me tell you something. There’s not much of a difference between a stadium full of cheering fans and an angry crowd screaming abuse at you. They’re both just making a lot of noise. How you take it is up to you. Convince yourself they’re cheering for you. You do that, and someday, they will...
...and that's how Sue sees it."

As you can see, all of the subjects that I’ll be taking up this semester have “chemistry” or “chemical” or “science” in their respective title. This fact implies an intrapersonal warning: beware. With perseverance and God’s help, though, I know that I can rise above and beat the odds.
May all of us have a fruitful semester. Good luck!

Ironically, I do consider myself a grammar Nazi. I might as well lock myself in a concentration camp and play with Zyklon B.
The following items are my response to a simple question: “What made your summer special aside from your OJT?” (Apparently, I’m too preoccupied to think of a much better introduction. Please bear with me.)
BOOKS
FILMS
[EDIT] I watched Requiem for a Dream (5/5 stars) two days after I posted this entry. Technically, it is an anachronism that should be included. [/EDIT]
