Just a note to say that I'm still out there. In the last 6 weeks, I've started the application process for a doctorate in chemistry. This Saturday, I will confront the demon that's been consuming my soul since.
The Chemistry GRE.
Imagine 4 years of undergraduate study crammed into 140 multiple-choice questions. If anyone out there has taken physical chemistry, you know that p-chem was never meant to be multiple choice.
Once the test from hell is over, I will be back. Not doing a lot of cooking or good eating, since I'm still on this blasted diet. There have been some great projects, too, including a very successful stab at pho.

Really? You need to take the Chem GRE? Yuck!!! You would think an undergrad degree would suffice! ;) Good luck!
Wow! That is fanatstic. Don't worry about us. We'll be here when you get back!!
As a chemical engineer, I definitely second you on that - pchem was never meant to be multiple choice. *shudder* Good luck!
Good luck with the Chem GRE! Wish I could help you but I was lucky to pass Chem in high school with a C- (a mercy grade I'm sure, ha ha). But seriously, that's awesome that you're going for the doctorate! Congrats!
BTW, liked your posts on Jeong Won. I haven't been there yet, but I'm sure my carnivorous husband and brother would love that place. Also liked your Urban Solace post. They have great sweet potato fries.
Oh Lord- chemistry? Good luck :)
Best wishes to you!
I took the Physics GREs many years ago (about 25, more or less). I recall they were awful. I didn't do all that well on them (not awful, but not great) and managed to get into grad school anyway. Best of luck to you!
Im a current Chemistry major/undergrad at UCSD so I understand what you mean about P-Chem. I have no idea how they could possibly manage to consolidate P-Chem into Multiple Choice type questions. Best of luck!
GOOD LUCK!!!!
I'm a fellow TWD baker, and I was thinking that it would be nice if we all could chip in and get Laurie some small token/gift for all the work she does. Would you be willing to contribute? If I can get enough people, it would only be about $1 per person. No pressure :-) Let me know! bethberg12@yahoo.com
Hey GF - Hope you did, and are doing well! Happy Thanksgiving!
