It turns out that yesterday was not a spectacular Canberra winter day
but just any other day...the whole everything is white/covered in frost
is apparently normal. It would be almost amazing to see the field of
white and sparkling lawns and rooftops except that it's FREAKING
FREEZING @___@ The cold is killing me. I have little energy left to do
things.
School has officially started for two days and I have attended
introductory lectures for four of my chosen units:
1) Cell Physiology in health and disease : which is insanely
difficult, even though it disguises itself well under the name @___@ I
have been informed it is the most difficult biology unit in the school
of BaMBi-School of Biomedical and Molecular Biology - which is just
great. At the moment I am having trouble understanding the topics of
the lectures @___@ *sighs*
2) Advances in Human genetics : This unit looks rather
interesting and it is moderately challenging but it won't kill me! ^^
WHO! I have to produce a research paper by the end of the year of ANY
topic of choice to do with human genetics, sort of an early indication
of the direction my final pHD research paper might be on...*scratches
chin* The guest lectures are also very interesting people :D People
from Law (for the cloning ethics and etc..) and even people in charge
of the Kangaroo Genome project ^^;; It sounds fun.
3) Microbiology : Rather promising! :D We're to not use our
own lab coats but use the ones provided by the school since nothing in
the lab is meant to "leave the room" :D Bacteria, virus and
bacteriophage specialised unit. Sounds goooooood.
4) Molecular Biotechnology : All cloning and transgenic animals
in this unit. ^^ (*note: Cloning here is cloning plasmids and such =P
not Dolly the sheep cloning so cool your jets).
Overall I'm rather looking forward to them all :D Textbooks and bricks
dont come in cheap though @____@ *sighs* Sooo much money..
Oh and also something else I want to say today.
I'm so sorry.
