My brain is mostly filled by… Next Post:
So…
- So I will be spending this evening-and frankly the next blah days until they switch on (2 days before my birthday facthounds-for my birthday I’d like France to not vanish into a black hole)-reading the Twitter updates of CERN and nosing at the LHC portal site.
- I spent the first half of the evening freezing in a slightly larger crappy town (than the one I live in) shaking a tin of raffle tickets.
- But on the upside I bumped into Rock and Roll Bryan (he mentioned several posts past). Had a nice chat, discussed cool fifties clothes and apparently I’m looking really well. Which is good. I think
- Of course come Monday someone will be dangling me upside down in the name of medical science to establish how not well I am so hey ho.
- I got another distinction, woo. In the assignment before the cephalopod one. Majorly happy. All about enzymes and stuff <shhh> I actually quite enjoyed it once I got into reading about enzymes in pharmacology <shhhh>, and protein synthesis (making DNA, basically). We are doing biodiversity now, which he said lots of people tend to either not enjoy or not get the point of but so far it’s very up my metaphorical street.
- It needs more octopus though.
- And less photo-fucking-synthesis.
- I have read a staggering amount of books on communications theory over the past few days, and realise my old A-level Sociology phobias have not gone. I feel physically nauseous at the nouns-Giddens, Durkheim, Gramsci and Functionalism.
- I will be spending a fair chunk of tomorrow feeling nauseous since I have to do some more communications theory reading.
- Yes I am still a science student. I’m just a discipline whore. I mean academic discipline, clearly. Mostly.
- I need to tidy up my piles of paperwork. Max is probably still reeling in shock from the paper mountains that surrounded her here.
- I may break my self imposed ethics thingumy and shop at Prittycrappytotheirsupplierark for the first time ever since I discovered that they sell tights for 98p. I’m skint. It’s winter. The top half of me needs to stay cool, but my legs need warmth.
- Right off to go read LHC updates from the past ten minutes-that beam might’ve reached the next sector you know…
