sherryillkI like knowing stuff about biology, I really do. Like, I like knowing certain things are targeted to different compartments and why some function the way they function.
What I don't like is experiments. I don't like having to know that I can splice out a gene and put it behind a reporter gene to see if I've diminished function or not. Or memorizing what sort of detergents there are, or why I would use sonication over a mortar and pestal, or if I should lyse to get at the stuff inside cells.
Research is all nice and all and I know that's where all the action is, but somehow, I think I would be better sitting somewhere where people could feed me their data and then I could analyze it without having to do the actual experiments... Maybe some day I'll get so big that I can minions to do the work for me and just have me directing them. That'll be nice...
I...just made the weirdest fried rice ever. See, I have extra rice from two nights ago and I don't exactly have the ingredients for a good fried rice so I improvises and put in some honey ham slices that have been chopped up, some fried egg, some dried black mushrooms, some dried sour and spicy raddishes, and some cloud ears that have been chopped into tiny pieces. It was different but not bad... I kinda want more of it... :\ The cloud ear and the mushrooms made for a nice texture and i want to have more it. Not bad, not bad.
And I'm still hungry. I think I'll end up making a sandwich later...
Tomorrow, I'm heading off to campus to study the whole day of MolecCell. And then I'll come home for dinner and do lectures the entire night. Yay! Today, going through old lectures. It's tedious but I'm remembering a good amount of it so I'm not too scared... I just don't want to study any more... In a week, I'll have my last exam and I'll finally go home. I want to be at home now. It'll really nice to rest at home for a bit...
