Study Leave

Well just a short run down on this week before I get back to my genetics study (!!!) (I usually use the book 'Genetics' by Strickberger(it's the best!) but I decided to borrow this book off my friend because it has more molecular stuff...)

As I said I spent the whole weekend working on my translocation heterozygote assignment. It was very interesting! On Monday I finished it…or so I thought…on Tuesday about 2 hours before I was about to go in to university to hand it in, I decided to have one final look at what I’ve written…well that was a mistake. The more I re-read it the more I felt I had to add important stuff in… so then I ended up writing more and more… It was already 3pm…I had to catch the train…I nearly missed it! But I got in to university on time and handed the assignment in at exactly 5pm just as it was due! (After I spent about 15 minutes standing by the hand-in box re-reading it over and over again)

The rest of the week I spent studying for my media exam which was on Friday. We had to prepare 4 essays and learn a bunch of definitions… The essay topics were ok, but there was this one topic which I was so unsure about. In the exam we had to write definitions and then write 2 essays; one that the lecturer chose and the other what we chose… Anyway, eventually Friday came and I went to do the exam. On the way I picked up my media essay on ’To Kill a mockingbird’ and got an A-! Then I sat the exam… well just my luck; the essay question I wasn’t sure about was the compulsory one! I really hope it went ok! …But the definitions were fine and I ended up writing my chosen essay on Marshall McLuhans Laws of the media.

After the exam I felt relieved that it was over and really happy because now I could study genetics non-stop!!!! For the next 2 weeks!!!! Which is what I’ve been doing all weekend… :) ...Going in to university tomorrow to photocopy all the past exam papers... since 1997! Then I'll do them all... :) (today I finished writing all my cue cards!) Oh genetics is so fun to study!!! :):):)

Oh and I forgot to say that two weeks ago I went to the 'Cats' musical and it was wonderful! I wanted to go again and again! :) Very enjoyable!
