my first post

This is my first official post on this new blog. I thought I would use this place as a way of documenting my life as a postgraduate student. Actually, it starts in about 3 days. I can't wait to write about all my experiments failing, the endless fire drills and the daily race to see who gets to book time on the instruments, two weeks in advance.

A PhD in chemistry is going to be great. It'll be like Honours x3.5!
