PCR? It's G.

Something I learnt recently: The band Shihad formed when I was four years oldSomething that made me laugh today: A pen that can write any colour.

I just wrote out this whole post and the internet couldn't be bothered actually doing anything with it. i didn't have a great deal to say, so I'm not sure it's a huge loss to you all.

I've just been knuckling down and attempting to work. Occassionally my thoughts stray elsewhere but otherwise I've been doing ok. Having to go through all this data for miscellanous subjects and trying to make sense of it all. It's not been terrifically hard because, at the moment, all my subjects believe themselves to be Genetics. I've been doing PCR and LD and BLAST searches. Quite frankly, speaking in acronyms is starting to drive me up the wall.

But just sitting at home, staring at my chromatogram and other pages of numbers and letters (a lecturer the other day said "We have oceans of data, lakes of information and puddles of knowledge") trying to make sense of it all and you just want someone you don't like to walk in the room because they'd stare at all this nonsense on the screen and suddenly find all this respect for you. It's a nice idea at least. But it's made me feel like I'm actually learning something at uni and just might have a useful function out in the "real world."

Other than uni, I've not done a great deal in the past week. Merengue class again, went and gave Justin all his stuff back. Just study. So much assessment coming up. So little sleep.

I like sleep.

I've been using too many Apple computers (you can't really do bioinformatics with a PC). I can't get any of the short-cuts right on this thing...
