I am not one to make resolutions. If I wanted to change something I wouldn't wait for the first of the year. However, possibly the greatest task laid before me happens to coincide with midnight chimes to signal the new year. This years chimes in Lausanne were not the chimes of merriment but instead the chimes to usher in a new sinister regime, one I cannot sit back and accept. It is for this reason I have resolved to quit chemistry and take up my sword for the forces of good. Last night, it was clearly evident that good had suffered a major defeat near the shores of Lake Geneva. A night of celebration was cut all too short as my wife and stared in horror at the dastardly attack which left the church eerily lit bright red for all to see. In an impressive display of power, the forces of evil overtook the central catholic cathedral-turned-protestant church in our home city at the stroke of midnight. Our guards were down to ring in a new year, yet evil did not wait, nor grant us a brief reprieve for celebration. It has foolishly struck amidst one of our most joyous moments. The message was clear: demoralization. Unknowingly, the opposite effect has been achieved. Immediately, I have taken a vow to reclaim our strong hold and extinguish the Hellish flames from our town. Dragons beware, my sword is raised.
I will return to chemistry once my quest is fulfilled.
