Saved a PDF about stem cell research my Cambridge colleagues developed onto my hard drive today. ^_^
Maybe twelve or fifteen years ago, my mother had told me that was what she really was interested in, to bring her dog back to life, so I had gotten some books from the library about it - they were ebooks and at the time I could only look at them for ten or fifteen minutes at a time... (I still can't look at the screen for too long, even at a minimal brightness, so I am still trying to visit Cambridge University in person, but I have been hindered by problem after problem popping up one after the other...)
Anyway I think her deceased dog's name was Heidi. The oboist I met who had that name had ash-blond hair and I think was a bit thinner than I am or was at the time, believe it or not.
Although I don't think that bringing people back to life in the way my mother had depicted to me is how stem cells actually work, I am all into reading about it.
Besides that, my mother had liked a lot to garden and play piano.
I'd better get off that topic before the mood of this entry decays irreparably. I don't remember exactly the mechanics of my journeying into Philadelphia for research, but they must have happened... I am well! ^_^ It is a fair day so far in Chester County, PA. I have not listened to how many minutes of the audiobook I wanted to per diem for it to be adequate before it's due mark, but I am less amiable to finishing it, so I might not even want to finish it, at this point, since it sounds like my mother might have been more interested in it than me, anyway. (A WWII love story.) But maybe if I walk around the loop with it, it might be an okay thing, but it's getting too hot for that now.
However, it is true I'm not in love with how the book is turning out. I'll just give it back without anything else on Saturday, then.
I don't know what remit means! Let's check.
Gosh, it means so many different things that I don't know for sure after looking it up.
I mean, "to reduce a period of time that someone must spend in prison"
"to send money to someone"
"to refer a matter to someone in authority to deal with"
as a noun, "the area that a person or group of people in authority has responsibility for or control over"
That seriously gives me Solzhenitsyn vibes, I don't know about you. It is listed as having the same pronunciation in both UK and US English. And also I recognise having seen the hanzi it offers before but couldn't give you what they were exactly so for that reason I am not copy-pasting.
I nearly left at that point, but I think that it is because this whole matter upsets a bunch of people. Therefore I took an ethics class. It did not tell me how to proceed, it just told me about how Socrates might have proceeded in ancient Athens.
However, I did not originally take Greek, I originally took Latin, from three different teachers: Magister McCann, Magistra Boosz, and Magistra Daywalt. What I was trying to recollect about it was incorrect after later reflection so I hope you have a nice day! ^o^
I am puzzled why some things are presented as hard and others as easy.
