I’m back! Haha. Teaching chair conformations with a beat!

It appears my office was recently infiltrated by some biologists who have deployed some of their kind of weaponry against the contents of my coffee mug

P.S. Have you thought about wearing a helmet at all times between matriculation and graduation? (there are sooo many concussions)

Yes! I, too, spend a lot of time on ozone in my gen chem class because it shows how science can solve problems and that international cooperation can lead to good outcomes

Update: I played through the original Portal last night (what a great game). I think I'm going to run through the plateau in BotW tonight and see if I want to keep doing that or go on to Portal 2 next
