yeah, i know how hard it can be finding a urop in the chem department.
two solutions: one, get work somewhere else. two, look at not being
able to get a urop of an opportunity to go and do something that you
never had a chance to do. you'll have plenty of time for chem work for
your next three years. have some fun now. summer freshman year, i
became a counselor at a music camp. it was wonderful because i love
working with kids, and also because i never went to camp before as a
kid. in that one summer i made lot's of good friends, played so much
that when i came back i was in terrific shape for music auditions
(that's how i grabbed first trombone in symphony) and even made a
professional brass quartet. not bad for a last fling with music before
getting serious with chemistry.
