I am battered and bruised! I have just completed a final exam, another semester of science is coming to a wrap. I can’t help but feel alike Ricky Gervais is giving the same speech he gave Leonardi DiCaprio at the Golden Globes:

“Even Prince Andrew was like, ‘Come on, Leo, mate. You’re nearly 50-something”

It fucking sucks, being so old, yet embarrassingly inexperienced, but that’s what I get right? No, that’s not what I get and I the amount of sheer hatred that I have for some people is shocking. Anyway, let’s put that aside, I still have a few more exams left, I have to finish building a model using a computer program to study the effects of diet and exercise on diabetes prevention in Asians. I had this brat for a partner, she actually was a low key bitch at times. Then she complained about some shit and then had me removed from her group, the cunt was using AI to do her work!

Good riddence!

I tried to force myself to carry more than I could handle, in a poor attempt at expanding my cognitive load capacity, or at least my ability to handle tasks and information, it really stressed my organizational abilities, and with the damage to my prefrontal and frontal lobes, it wasn’t fun.

I am lying, it was actually really insightful.

Unfortunately I ended up having to drop down from 7 to 6 courses, but I mean I still learnt about biochemistry and what it takes to succeed under high levels of stress. I had this lab course, where people were playing politics and all these interpersonal games that I was not having any part of. The research “team” I was a part of just had this guy who was a total dictator that wanted things his way or else he was going to argue and complain, and I wasn’t really opposed to anything, I just wanted to learn. There was a lot of “workplace politics and drama” that I avoid, but now I am seeing that you can’t avoid it, so from here on in, I’ll play.

I am taking a liking to studying microbiology, and bacteria. I am still really interested in disease, it’s just that I feel that the way they are teaching these things to me is to slowly move me in the direction of plants. For the lab course, I ended up studying the bacteria Staphylococcus epidermidis and how it would affect Arabidopsis thaliana, and whether Salicylic Acid had an effect. Salicylic Acid was shown to have no direct effect on the bacteria S. epidermidis, E. coli or B. subtilis.

For this blog, I promise to write a lot more over the Holiday, and I need to finish (rather, start) rebuilding this site. I also have to get back to the gym as well, and there is a lot of stuff that I want to do at home, especially things related to what I learnt by over working myself and exposing the holes in my work ethic and daily living. Every semester I feel as if I go away, even I still live in the same house as my parents. This university life is so different than real life. I think this is essential for my learning, because that is what I am here to do.

My fashion now is basically whatever the campus sells.
