What’s left to do before I can start teaching? Pass the Chemistry MTEL (May 12), write my PhD dissertation (due June 1), orally defend my thesis (June 15th), deal with paper revisions so my work can be published before I graduate, do all the pre-institute work, Greater Boston Induction (June 19-23), Institute in Philadelphia (June 24-July 28), then more TFA training in Boston (August 6-15). Oh yeah, and plan my October 6th wedding.
