Judgement day by school is coming... It's do or die..

Why can't intelliegence be viewed fluidly? Instead of the narrow minded view that only institutionalized learning is the only tool that equals intelligence? As vast as knowledge and understanding is, it should not be viewed with a one track mind ideology

Listening to Dir en grey while writing my last lab report as an undergrad.

I feel pretty good right now. Even though I should be freaking out. Kyo's voice always give me strength. I love him forever and ever and ever and ever....

My lab report is on mechanosensation in C. elegans. I hate them forever now.

Remember how there was a campus bomb threat a month ago?

There was another one today. So I left the campus early and now I have extra time... to study. 

Someone really hates public universities.

life of a biology student #9

I fucking hate writing lab reports. I have come to hate writing in general =_=

So after purification and immunoblotting, our group's NFAT segment is positive for calcineurin presence!  This maps the final domain of NFAT that is required for calcineurin binding to amino acids 118-173 and 370-414 (possibly?).  Generally speaking, the first 415 amino acid sequence of the NFAT transcription factor is responsible for its interaction with calcineurin. Yay! 

Edit: I finished the damn report after 6 hours.  It is 12 pages.  

I feel accomplished and stupid at the same time.

So I just bullshitted a 5-page English essay

Because it was about Chicana feminism in literature. I am not a Chicana feminist. And I didn't even finish reading all the materials. And I doubt that the entirety of Chicana feminist politics could be captured and concluded in any book or 5-page essay. Therefore the bullshitting.

Seriously, bullshitting has gotten me through so much. Because in actuality no one gives a fuck about what you really think or have to say, they just want to hear what they want to hear. They want to see that you've listened to their opinions and can regurgitate them back. Radical liberal groups that fight for freedom and acceptance when they won't even accept other people's thoughts. And brain-washed populations that just swallow whatever was fed to them. 

Public education, politics, propaganda, puppeteers. They are all the same bullshit. There is no objectivity, opinions are biased the moment they are conjured.

So I didn't even go to school today

I was still in bed like the lazy ass that I am when I got the text message from UCPD warning all the staff and students of a bomb threat. The message included "if you wish to leave campus, please feel free to do so." They believed it to be a hoax but I took my chances and didn't go near the campus at all. I didn't feel like taking a bus ride to somewhere that has even a remote chance of blowing up. No thank you.

I'm surprised there aren't more threats like this during finals week. Yup.
