Happy-go-bitter sort of week

Having tumblr on your phone is definite drawback, especially during school term. I mean I've successfully evaded it for the past 3 semesters, all I need to do is forget about everything else and concentrate on classes~~**~~

I was legitimately nearly deluded into thinking this sem was gonna be great. Ok it wasn't that bad. Kn Saturday I woke up at 7.30 to head to NUS to make matcha ice cream. And pancake souffle. And mochi. Really fun and hell that matcha ice cream was FAAAABulous. It tasted fantastic, considering we made it up from scratch! Pancake souffle had burnt asses for the first two but we managed to turn down the heat and not kill the next two hehe. Food Sci and Tech - ILY

On the other hand I nearly lost it writing an essay for Bioinformatics. I mean I've spent the entire week trying to get myself to write and only muttered up the will at 9.45pm when the essay was due at 2359. Ughh fuck you deadline. I have no idea what this module is doing or what will become of my essay, given that its freaking 20PERCENT k thx.

Anyways, 1000-2000 tomorrow so I'm completely beat. Hopefully it's not as bad tomorrow.

Entering with (less than) a bang

So it's already been a week and I've already missed two lectures. In my defense, I was sick last week and basically my first order of business of the semester was to head to the university clinic and more or less sit there for an hour to get my meds. Sigh.

The lecture was a lame 95min intro, or so I heard. Thank goodness lame intros are always webcast~~

I had to stop with my coolio tutee as well coz she lives so faar (an hour's travelling is no joke) :( At the age of 11 she was cool and I guess I'll miss her sigh...

My modules have been less than satisfactory so far. I mean the lvl3 cardio is totally rad but my other modules not so. I've no idea what my professor is planning with Cell Bio, I mean he randomly started with Parkinson's disease and has been talking about neurotransmitters and tissue homogenisers for a while. I'm honestly confused. The stats prof has gone full laidback - chillaxing and cornily joking. He will never get our serious attention, ever, again. The Bioinformatics module is full-on computer class. Now I'm pretty damn sure I was supposed to be searching through some medical databases but I spent an hour trawling through Neanderthal taxonomy and Woolly Mammoth protein sequences so I've got that going for me. Basically I've no bloody idea what's happening for most of it.

I think I've got an essay to write. Or not. I'm not too sure.

Eh

A quick summary of dotplots and how they can be used for qualitative analysis of sequences.
