I wish all lab reports are this interesting to write.

This is what happens if you read too many journal articles. D: Oh sanity, where art thou?

ADSKGJA;LKDSJG OH MY GOD. WHAT IS THIS. dead. dead of laughter. take responsibility!!

I have never been happier being in a (semi) science major because HAHAHAHA all the scientific journal references!! Journal of WTFery! Educationiidae examus and Pornicus interneta!OmgIcan'tbelieveI'mwritingthis, et al. AHAHAAHAHA et al, I am so amused. "The murder of the subject's creativity and free thinking and transforming them into lifeless, anit-social, textbook-carrying drones." YOU LIAR, YOU CAN TOO WRITE.

Okay I will stop quoting your whole entry at you. I can't believe you actually made a graph for this. This reminds me so much of that Critique fic from the PW kink meme.

"To ensure its survival, they increased their reproductive rate such that the higher than usual amount of schoolwork in the first week of February exerted no detrimental effect on the population." CRYING. WHY SO SCIENTIFIC. IT'S ACTUALLY SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND. It's only a correlation, after all!

This needs to come with a warning label. Or maybe university has cooked our ( ... )

THAT'S THE END RESULT OF AN OVERLY TAXED BRAIN. What responsibility!? You're acting like Shinobu here!

I'm glad you find amusement in this? This is a test of your geekiness--only geeky people can find this amusing. XD WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN WRITE? This is a "scientific paper" we're talking about here, it doesn't count. I write these kind of crap for marks!

It's only a quick excel graph. That Critique fic was epic.

That was me trying to make sense of my data (I didn't make the data up btw, they're REEEEAAAAAAAL). LOOK AT MY BS-ING SKILLAGE GOOOOOO!!!

Pffft. What? WARNING: PRODUCT OF CANDY'S MIND; READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLZ TO NOT BE EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING. I think someone really should do a study on this. I would read the paper.

IT IS A GOOD END RESULT. AMUSEMENT FOR ALL (at your expense) Ahaha, I was feeling bratty like Shinobu yesterday XDDD

So that means I have to be seriously geeky because I found this highly amusing. Scientific writing IS STILL A FORM OF WRITING. And this was very humorous writing! (aren't you glad you can get marks so "easily"?)

This was epic too. I was trying to imply it. EPIC fandom/science program fusion. BS skills are super useful. They get us through university. AND YES. YES YOU SHOULD TOTALLY PUT THAT WARNING ON. And I wouldn't be surprised if someone has researched this, since procrastination is like a virus amongst all working people.

BTW, I'm stuck doing one of my WRI experiment thingies tomorrow at 12 - I should be done by 12:30. Up to you if you want to meet me at 12:30 or hide out somewhere?

Well, I had fun writing this (geeeeek) so I'm glad people find reading this enjoyable?

Scientific writing is different from most forms of writing. No flowery descriptions and vocabulary required. ;D And they're purpose is not to entertain but to bore people to death.

I...I'm going to check the databases for articles on procrastination now.

I'll meet up with you at 12:30 I guess? Just phone me when you're finished.

I cannot believe you actually wrote this. Is this what happens when you go home at 12??

EPIC LOVE.

That is what happens if you have a quiz and a midterm on the next day and you don't want to study. >;D I pretend I'm doing something productive and worthwhile.

OMG SO AWESOME, though shorter than I expected, a good thing. My favourite graph of the week. You should have done a pie graph, too! Educationiidae examus <333 I hate it when things differ b/w 'ae' v. 'ea' v. 'a' or 'e'. The population x+y reminds me of Moyashimonnnn. Ugh, so cute.

I had a shitty week, too. And it's not over yet. Ughhhh. Six+ hours of sleep would be SO WELCOME OMG. Slept at 6.20 yesterday, woke up at 8, 10, then 11, finished paper, handed in, came back, showered, slept ~3-5, ate, and is watching tv shows when I have a midterm tomorrow. XD YAY. Procrastination is at its best on the foreheels of 'school'. It's so hard to sleep and my body feels so stiff. How is it that I am so tired doing nothing? How!? I really do feel I cannot survive without shrimp. Ahhh, watched Iroku Irokoi Romantan (Yamane Ayano --> OVA) and it was quite good. V. pretty and non-shiny and funny ( ... )

Pie graphs are rarely used in scientific journals though... Well, a symbiotic relationship doesn't have to be mutually benfitial. As long as the organisms are living together in the same niche with at least one party dependent upon the other, it's symbiotic. Parasitic relationship IS a kind of symbiotic relationship.

That's because you're not a science major and you couldn't tell? I don't know. If an ecologist student read my discussion, they probably would have seriously facepalmed. XD;;;

It's not snowing here anymore (at least for now) but it's still friggin' cold, around -10 to -20. D:

I know, but they look so cute, like a circle in the sky~~
Oh, that makes sense. >> I feel stupid. XDDD Nonetheless, if I cannot tell, then you will seem unfathomably intelligent to the general population! Huhuh.

Crap, that's cold. Dress warm, you butt. I bought a woolen jacket and it's so thin. It's okay for out/inside, so I wonder if it'll really keep me warm. All those children wearing it seem alright.
