and after one day- after countless revisitations to Clegg and websites, i finally understand gene linkage and more or less genetics. at last! after being in the dark for almost two years. i don't know why i'm so bad at genetics. and math! haven't started yet, and i've been avoiding all the papers fazli gave out. even in class...i tell myself i'll go home and do it, and what happens. urgh, there's a sizeable stack of them behind me, i shall start on them...tomorrow. hopefully.
i digressed from genetics slowly, however, and ended up reading a bit on richard dawkins. then i moved on to the watchmaker analogy, arguments against it and somehow wound up reading the wiki page on John hopkins university. i remember in sec 4 how i was talking about uni choices with my then-tuition teacher, and how he was saying JHU's probably the best for med...if you can afford it. i can't remember if he said the fees were half a million or a million, but either way, no way am i going there. random- JHU's motto is 'The truth will set you free'...which is taken from the book of John! pretty cool.
mrbrown is pretty hilarious, heh. oh, i finished the english essay for nov03 too :D writing an essay is quite fun- i guess there's some kick of creation, that you're making, moulding something you can be proud of when you're done. at least, that's the feeling i get.
math, math. how! once again i recall the foolish thinking in sec 4 that brought me this far- it goes along the lines of...: "IB'll be easy la, just study everyday then can ace everything. i'm bad in math so i'll take math HL for a challenge" and so i am getting that, big mistake. sigh, and youtube sometimes takes ages to load on the ipad. i do, though, like how you can watch HD videos on it and it goes so smoothly, too.
somehow, i'm reminded of paul cheong's emergency briefing on bio. PANIC! it actually worked- once the briefing ended, rheza turned to me and said, 'let's get those notes' (in reference to the notes pc offered to email us if we asked him after the lecture). come to think of it, i have those in my inbox- i shall look at them soon.
there was a bird that came and perched on my window grille this afternoon- for a few hours. honestly, i couldn't understand what it wanted. i put some pieces of bread out on the sill- it ignored them. i talked to it- it ignored me (okay, so i shouldn't have expected it to understand me...). i stretched my open hands out in warm welcome- it merely eyed me. as it had been doing so for so long. so i drew the curtains, peeping out now and then...it was still there. then in the evening i heard a fluttering of wings, pulled the curtains open and lo, it was gone. what do i make of this?
maybe i shall make a cheesecake soon.
EDIT: the uni name is Johns hopkins university- not just 'John'. chubby hubby is one of b&j's lousier flavours, too :/
