Hello fellow bloggers! I have never "blogged" before so this is definitely been interesting so far and I am excited about using it in the future for this class; it is nice seeing everyone else's blogs so easily to see what their thoughts are. To get started my full name is Alexander Ahmad Okhovat. I am half Persian (fathers side) and currently am a senior studying Chemistry here at OU. My undergraduate studies have been a long fun ride but the end is near for me and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My future plans are to further my Chemistry knowledge as much as possible and go on to graduate school. I would love to study elsewhere like somewhere in Colorado (my favorite place), California, Washington, Oregon, or any states in the western part of the country honestly. At this time in my life, I would absolutely love ending up in the pharmaceutical field working for a major company like Bayer as a senior research doctor. I have lived here in Norman my entire life; going to Community Christian School as a child, eventually transferring to Norman North High School, and finally ending up here at OU. My Dad, Uncle, and Aunt are all alumni here at OU so I am honored to follow in their footsteps studying what I am passionate about, science! One of my main accomplishments during my undergrad would be working with Dr. Nicholas; a research professor I have been interning with throughout most of my undergrad years. I have gained so much experience in the lab for the future chemistry career and I believe that was a major step on the right path to succeed on my journey. Over the break, I visited family in Texas mostly and spent the New Years on the beach of Galveston with my girlfriend, Lauren in a nice resort. Not only am I a scientist, but also an artist! In my free time when I am not in the lab, I am painting, stenciling, sketching, and I also electroform (process of metal plating) minerals with copper (check out my work in the student art gallery everyone!), and attend as much live music as possible. Hands down, Pretty Lights would be my favorite artist if I had to choose; I love the style of music he produces and artists that are similar.

On any and every vacation I get, I try my hardest to travel and explore more areas of this beautiful world I have yet to experience. The more I have traveled, the more I began realize how truly beautiful life and nature truly are. Science and art are in perfect sync with nature when I am inspired in my travels. Oh, and I also have the coolest cat on this planet (trust me) whose name is Phylix.
