Day in school

Woke up today- felt like a paraplegic in bed.. aching from that 10km and low carbohydrate dinner I had.. this further exacerbated by the cushy softness of the sandwich of quilts that encased me snugly. Had cereals for brekky- and just as an indulgence, an All Natural Bar- Nut Delight, to go down with the whole mix and It definitely went down well :)

It was an OK day.. went to school.. an my earphones screwed up on me.. got abit edgy. The meeting with Beverly (the Senior Biochem Tutor) which all Miniproject students had to go to was utterly useless- well not totally but I was thinking that that coulda meant another 1hr of sleep for me! It woulda meant so much more useful! By some serendipitous chance, I met Rachelle wandering around union house and I accompanied her for lunch- it was funny how she was so scared of the pidgeons walking around- we decided to dine (what a word to use when eating out of take away plastic containers) al fresco- as there were no seats available inside. In the process we met Bing who just happened to be quite preoccupied.. he didn't seem like he wanted to talk much or at least was in a hurry.. oh well..

After lunch with Rachelle, I took off to Bio21 to meet Nick my supervisor and my partner Suh and I had this really long and draggy introduction to the technicalities of our project- working on MHC class I peptides by using ESI-TOF / HPLC-MS-MS-TOF / QqTOF and many other acronyms which sound cool to tell your prospective parent-in-laws about.. well maybe they'll smack u after that.. hahaa.. I mean theres like FT-ICR-MS or Fourier Transform (the mode of analysis) Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (just measuring like the spin of ions to determine their mass.. I mean.. WHAT THE DEVIL?! Suh and I just stood there stoned... overwhelmed by the density and the gravity of the information (Ok Juwen don't lecture me about the technicalities of these 2 terms!) Thats the problem with science.. everything is so damm long that we have to shorten it to Acronyms that sound just as ridiculously complex! Now, the proper term for 'Asthma' is coined- 'Bronchial Hyperreactivity due to Inflammation in Response to Diverse Stimuli' Thats the proper term for it.. Sigh.. Ok maybe I shouldn't complain- things could be worse.. I wouldn't want to be tallying accounts for the rest of my life or doing mathematics (Sorry Juwen =P)

Anyway I'm off.. needa get my fix of endorphins again :) My neurons want to hit some really good shit- Put on my runners and rise to the challenge!

Oh yes before I forget,
