Well, it's been busy. I'm not sure where all of my time goes. I guess it mostly is spent and consumed by work. Even when I'm not at work, I'm still doing work things. But, it's cool. I'm convinced that many of the students with whom I have the pleasure to work will one day find cures to dreaded diseases, write new economic theories, influence the modernized world to fend for those who can defend themselves and find a way to really work towards world peace.
So, while I don't need a dictionary to talk to them anymore, I'm still impressed everyday by something that one of them does. Like, this week, one of our students (along with one of our RAs) is on her way to Norway to speak at a conference on Computational Life Science with her study of "Using Simple Molecular Orbital Calculations to Predict Disease: Fast DFT Methods Applied to Enzymes Implicated in PKU, Parkinson’s Disease and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder." And, she's only a sophomore. See what I mean?
This week I went to the Liberty Bowl to watch the University of Memphis host Marshall University in football. I tried to yell out "We Are Marshall" numerous times, but my friends threatened to leave me without a ride home. So, I clapped and cheered for Memphis.
Also, I'm expanding my college t-shirt collection. I've added N.C. State and Memphis to my collection. Next up: Oregon, Notre Dame and, maybe, I don't know South Carolina or Clemson.
If you're interested in what I've been doing, here's a link to a press release about some of my work: http://www.rhodes.edu/9745.asp
