Okay, so I'm the type of person with assigned pegs for each specific coat that I own and very much assigned slots for each utensil in my kitchen drawers.

This pillow in my world goes with this pillowcase only.

And every time my girlfriend leaves her keys in my key spot, I have to just pray for patience.

Left to my own devices, all of the spice bottles in my cabinets would be label facing forward because I'm not a barbarian.

And when it's down halfway, I take the soap dispenser in the bathroom and switch it with the one in the kitchen, which is used up more slowly so that they can deplete at the same time and be filled up simultaneously.

I consider this peak brilliance.

So you get the picture.

For as long as I can remember, I have been a lover of, and at times, a refugee in order.

Predictability, organization, these are things that help me maintain sanity in an otherwise chaotic and overwhelming world.

And so make a plan, have a routine, everything's just safer and better that way.

Well, when I went off to college, settled on a major in cognitive science, partly because the research is awesome.

And partly so I could just be tucked away in a neat, orderly little lab somewhere.

Well, my junior year of college, I ended up stumbling my way into an education course.

And the professor was an amazing human being.

I had great classmates.

I was having a good time.

But part of the requirement for this class was going to a local classroom a couple times a week.

And the final project was I had to teach a lesson about states of matter using mystery goop.

Okay, what is mystery goop?

So mystery goop is this mixture of cornstarch and water that when you get the perfect ratio, it's kind of liquidy when you move it slowly, but kind of solidy if you like squeeze it really suddenly or punch it or something.
