Hello everybody.
Hi everyone. I've been lurking around on here for a month or so now and I've asked a few questions (sorry if they are kinda "dumb" questions) and I've
gotten pretty helpful answers. I was wanting to try to get to know everybody.
If your comfortable,
Tell me your name
And what you like to do as hobbies.
Btw I like build/play with computers and hoping to get degrees in computer engineering and chemistry.
In advance, nice to meet you all and I hope you all can come to know me as somewhat of a friend I guess.

I think our forum monikers are good enough for now. 
Welcome to ScienceMadness!
I am a software engineer in real-life. Keep up with the computers because developers are going to be in demand for a while, which equals more money
for you.

I'm a zombie, and I eat brains. Don't do much else.
They tried to have me "put to sleep" so I came back to return the favor.

I listen to amos' music but I share my music with plante. I used to share my profession with j_sum, but now I am more like Loptr. I would like to be
more like Neptunium, but atm I am more like myself. I live near TheAustralianScientist but not near Brain&Force, but I have posted things to
Brain&Force but not TheAutsralianScientist. I have a sausage dog called Otto.

I'm a high school student from Texas. I'd like to major in chemistry in college (surprise, surprise). In addition to home chemistry, I enjoy gardening
as my other hobby.

Stick around bigtrev and get to know everyone. I am actually quite surprised how many SMers I feel that I know -- their age or real name or vocation
or area of expertise or interests or where they live(d) or whole bunch of stuff. I am not sure I want to concentrate all of that information in one
place and there is some information that I will never drop in an open forum. But if you read around you will probably get to know a few of us.
Welcome and happy experimenting.

Hey man, welcome to sciencemadness! I'm finishing up my senior year of high school in Canada and hope to pursue chemistry at college as well. As for
my life away from chemistry, i enjoy puzzles, astrophysics, and geology, and also play hockey at the JrA level. I'm actually gonna be taking a gap
year next year just for that It's been hard to squeeze in home chemistry,
especially over the last year, but I try to whenever I can!
This website has been an invaluable source of information for me over the past couple years too.

New here as well. Hoping to get into college to study chem as a thirty something, even though the job market seems to not be so good. I've been
lurking here for several years and STILL haven't got a lab, but it's comming soon. I do have a 12" telescope and what not ( other hoby). Signed up
three months ago, and just made my first post yesterday. Trying not to post unless I can contribute. No Zep fans on here? No guitarists?

ELRIC, I also live in Kentucky, Louisville to be exact. And might your username in fact be a reference to a certain manga/anime?

Not that I know of. There's a company called Antec here that distributes chemicals and glassware, but they don't carry a whole lot as far as glassware
goes, and many of their chemicals are very expensive compared to what you might find online. I don't even think you can visit them and buy stuff; more
like just shipping to real labs and companies. If you ask me, you're better off shopping on eBay or AliExpress.

It always surprises me how many people are still in High school on this site. I suppose the only reason I wasnt a member when I was in HS is, first
off it probably didnt exist back then and if it did it was in its infancy and I didnt post on any forums back then. Its a good thing dont get me wrong
because it exposes you to things that you otherwise would have no idea.
I studied chemistry at the University of Connecticut and took all the under grad chem classes they offer, short of analytical and physical basically
3-4 classes left before I took every one Uconn offered. What I am trying to say is this forum does not even come close to how much humans know and how
deep all of it actually goes. Its just like everything in life this stuff will prepare you a little but nothing will fully prepare you for everything
such as molecular orbital theory for example, its huge and complicated not impossible but it can look like it if you just look at my note book.
I went for pure curiosity, I would love a job in a chemistry field and that is my over all goal but I am not pissed i got kicked out due to a lack of
funding and never got a degree because I spent 3 years learning about chemistry and what I assume to be close to the most advanced things. Not that I
mastered them and moved on but that I know of them and how color is produced for example. I now look at the world completely differently and I owe it
to my love for chemistry.
My point being it is hard, you will struggle wonder why maybe even hate yourself because you are tied to something that seems impossible and it takes
so much more effort then all of your friends who party. A full dedication to chemistry may feel like the academic equivalent of joining the marines
but if it is what you want to do you wont care about studying on a friday or waking up at 5am to finish up a lab. It is worth it and in your darkest
hour remember that we all go through that I questioned myself always, felt like I was stupid and didnt belong only to get a great grade on an exam,
just keep at it.
Chemistry is a natural drive, not an interest.
