Here I am, in biotech class. The most important lesson that I've taken away from this class is the reinforcement of the obvious fact that I'm not a science person. Despite that, I'll make an exception for cars and mobile gadgets, but that's as much sciency as I'll ever get.
It's October. And I'm in awe at how fast this year has been. It was not too long ago that I was enjoying my first uni winter holidays. Since then, one sem has come and gone, and so has an entire chunk of the year which the school terms as summer.
I actually typed "cancer" in the place of "summer" in the above sentence as my prof mentioned the word "cancer" just as I was about to type "summer" and the word just took the place of another.
The prof is talking about cord blood. Despite the fact that I find it pretty amazing, I'm obviously not amazed enough to pay full attention as seen from the fact that I'm blogging in class.
I'm bored and sleepy. Home alone this time is quite a new experience. The previous times that my parents were away spanned a maximum of 3 days I think, this time, dad's gone for a week while mum and the little sis are gone for 2 weeks. Doing the laundry, hanging them out to dry, making my own meals, doing the dishes etc etc. It's not exactly very easy eh? Going home at night after school, and doing just a few of the household chores, definitely not relaxing. That said, I do enjoy the freedom to do what I want to the house, I do enjoy the solitude and I do enjoy being independent. Yes, I detest doing the dishes, but it's a small price to pay. On hindsight, I need to learn how to cook proper food, I've been having the same 'dishes' for the past few days.
A few more days... but for now, bio goes on and on.
