The electricity’s going to be shut of in less than an hour’s time for some maintenance work to be carried out. I really hope that it comes back at 1230 as what we were told, and not end up dragging for too long. Having gotten so used to being able to use various electrical appliances whenever I want, going without electricity is really inconvenient. Especially when the lights cannot be switched on! Today’s one of those days that I need to switch on the lights in the day because it’s raining outside. And I need the computer to type my lab reports too.

Speaking of school-related stuff, I was under the impression that last Saturday’s class was the last practical class for Research Seminar after the announcement that was made. But the first thing I saw when I came online today was an announcement saying that there will be a class tomorrow, and that’s the actual last practical session we’re supposed to have. :(

As the exams draw nearer, stress levels are going up and up…

君のために時々悲しくて、心が痛くて、泣きたい。
君はいつもこのまま生きている？
嬉しい？
疲らない？

私はこのまま生きていたくない。
嫌だ。

幸せは何？
私の未来は本当に幸せ？
全然分からない。
若しも未来は幸せではない・・・どうしょう？少し怖い。
思いたくない。

幸せが欲しい。
私はどんな時も笑いたい。

頑張ってね、私。
君も頑張って。

This is how micro-organisms look in anime style! The yellow ones are Aspergillus Oryzae and the green one is Penicillium Chrysogenum.

The short story is about A. Oryzae meeting P. Chrysogenum, and having a short chat until they realised who P. Chrysogenum was… and they ran away.

If only microbes actually looked the slightest bit like that in real life…

It feels so weird reading about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in English. Terms that I’ve heard before in Chinese sound funny when they’re translated. And I have no idea what some of those terms are referring to! Like “external pathogenic wind”… what’s that?

I’ve got 3 huge bumps on my legs right now. I think I got bitten by some sort of insect that’s not a mosquito, because the size of the bumps are a few times bigger than the size of a normal mosquito bite. Looks gross! There appears to be inflammation at these sites as well. Rubor (redness), Calor (heat), Tumor (swelling), Dolor (pain), the symptoms of acute inflammation, I have them all. See what studying biology does to you! I’m sure normal people don’t think of things like this when they have an inflammation. But then again, I guess medicine students might be like that too.

絶望だ！

Genetics lab report は　とても難しい。
今晩三時間以上 lab report をするから、今頭が痛い。

今日クロス・ヒース先生の Cancer bio lecture も難しい。
聞くけど、全然分からない。
心配だよ。

でも、Neurobio is worse.　沢山物が覚えなければならないから。
とても大変だ。　(;´ρ`) ｸﾞｯﾀﾘ
