Further Proof that Kids Are the Coolest

For Xmas, my parents got me (and my sister) a calendar for teachers. Every day, you flip the page to have some teaching-related quote jump out at you, or a personal anecdote from an everdyay teacher bless you with its wisdom and knowledge.

Today, the topic was: Scientific Thoughts by Kids. There were three, but the last two are the ones worth mentioning:

- We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on.

- To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists, solutions are things that are still all mixed up.

And now, the Friday Five:

What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .

1. ...today? Getting some of the work that has been hanging over my head finished (which means I should probably get off the internet)

2. ...over the next week? There are several things: 1) Catching up with Parisian friends after the break back home; 2) Going back to work and seeing some of the students again; 3) Getting a doctor's visit - which I have had to cancel and reschedule twice - finally out of the way.

3. ...this year? Finishing school (for this year) and going to southeast Asia

4. ...over the next five years? Finishing school (forever) and having a real job

5. ...for the rest of your life? Becoming a family with someone and the little people we have together.
