In the Beginning

Well well well, nice of you to join the party. And by party I mean Chemistry 132. This is the greatest class EVER, and if you don't agree, I will fight you.1 I'm Derek, your TA. I'll be helping you out this semester, and im really looking forward to working with each and every one of you.2 I hope the semester has started off nicely for you! Please, this blog is for you, so abuse it! Feel free to post any questions, comments or insights you may be having at the time of publication. Im looking forward to having a great semester with ya'll.3


1 I have never once fought someone, ever. (assume this to be a trend)
2 That was a very vague, blanket statement meant to make you feel good inside. By no means is it a personal insight, as I dont know a single one of you. I can assert, however, that by the time you are reading this I will have met you (or soon will) and will have a strong desire to get to know you and make your wildest chemistry dreams come true. (This is a sincerely genuine comment)
3 I reside in the state of New York, which is in the northeastern United States, where is is very rare, if not wrong, to use the phrase "ya'll". I may or may not continue using it. Because I'm a rebel. I also say "pop"-all the time.
