Everything that I am not, made me everything that I am.

The Calm After The Storm

Today is the first day after the disastrous end of year exams. I spent it slacking and playing SPORE on my MacBook Pro. I got past the tribal stage today, and will be going on to the civilisaion stage. It seems that if you design the land vehicle without wheels the game crashes. A software bug, how very interesing. I can't believe that my brother is already at the space stage...

Tomorrow will be the Life Sciences Open House. I will be at the tissue culture lab, and I'm next to certain that the experiment that I'm supposed to demo involves cutting carrots. It seems to be their favourite demo experiment. The extensive disinfection seems rather extend just for chopping up carrots. Think washing elbow length with antibacterial, ethanol spray on every working surface including gloves, and flame sterilization of all tools. Well, it's all great fun.

I had alot of time today to reflect on this disaster year. I think that this year finally made me believe that grades are not everything, it's not the end of the world if you flunk a paper, and you can never be the best in everything. It also made me realize how important friends are, and how much mine have done for me. The countless times you helped me through maths or Chinese homework. The countless affectionate jokes (mostly about spikiness), laughs and happy memories. Thank you all for all you have done to help me through this year. I know I didn't show it if I appreciated you, and I know I missed alot. If I shouted, if I hurt your feelings, if I ignored you, if I seemed like I didn't care, I'm sorry...
