A quick note from el pueblo de Guatemala

Hey, all! I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that a) I am safe in Guatemala City and b) I've completed my exam.... I wish I could say incredibly successfully, but in all honesty I have no clue. I didn't do too well on my practice exams, but, as most of you know, I tend to be optimistic about these things. :) Besides, I figure that even if my scores aren't a shining demonstation of what an incredible chemist I am, at least the effort I went through to take the exam should be proof enough that I do, indeed, want to be in graduate school. Sometimes I think that's the only reason they make you take it anyways... to prove committment. Well, hopefully two eight-hour bus rides (here and back) and at least $450 in expenses (between the exam and traveling expenses) shows commitement, right?

Anyways, just wanted to let you know I'm safe. We had an amazing American-style meal after the exam, and I'm really enjoying Guatemala City. I think anything's better than San Pedro Sula... :p We head home tomorrow at 9:00. I'll try to post another blog next week. Love you guys!
