Different

I must have the nicest bunch of friends in the whole wide world.

Its really nice how I can rest at home with the peace of mind that everything will be left in good hands. Jeremy Ong and Nico settled a ton of Moot Parliament paperwork for me while I was unwell. Jonathan Tang went so far as to email me a subject by subject summary of what happened the whole day, from start to end.

Thank you people, I appreciate everything you did. :) A lot.

Science Research was pretty interesting, and we were doing fluorescent microscopy. Its interesting to be able to see individual bacterium. We discussed a little more on our research projects.

It was quite a weird afternoon. First I still had a cold, and I was sneezing and snuffling crazily the whole way through. Then Environmental Focus Group came along and started to cook grass in these huge vats over bunsen burners. The fumes were quite terrible. EFG didn't bother with opening the windows.

I guess being in bed unwell the whole day kinda left me thinking about my life again.

I think I'm too stressed. I'm told I'm too stressed. In no uncertain terms by a doctor. I think I know why I'm stressed. Because I try too hard to be good at everything. But I guess everyone is different, and we can't really be good at everything.

I guess that the all rounded education thingy is really misguided. Its asking for nothing less than for us to be excellent in everything. I guess maybe some people are lucky enough to be able to do that. Its not the same for the rest of us.

Why can't they let us do the things that we are best at? Isn't what we are best at or not so good at that defines at least part of who we are? Most of the time nowadays, we're so busy we can't really spend time doing the stuff that we are really good at.

Why can't they accept that we are different?
