Still nothing .. I feel so uninspired .. just realised I'm wearing my jumper inside out ..
Sing along perhaps? Yes-yes .. why not ..
Thinking of something funny .. no .. it's not working .. I don't understand why everyone can't be given a sense of humour .. actually the actual question is why wasn't I given a sense of humour .. the keyboard refused to type ..
It's quite cold in here .. if I read another sentence about urea I might just go berserk and throw things .. starting with this stupid speaker in front of me ..
Enough procrastinating ..

Midnight Club !
Not quite midnight, more like 'an-hour-and-a-half-past-midnight-club'. It's these damn 1200 word essay assignments that annoys me at times. For example, right now the bed is where I should be, but oh no .. instead I'm in front of the computer not doing work when I should be doing work and .. let me type up here exactly what the assessment is.
The Micro-faculty demands that the students be taught how to use the journal-searches and also demands that the students learn how to write a literature review. Not so easy when you have to read through a ridiculous amount of academic crap and end up only choosing two or three at most to review. But of course then the issue of plagiarism and paraphrasing every thing comes into play so it sounds like your own work. How the fuck is that suppose to work? Last time I checked there wasn't a trillion ways (hell, there's not even three ways) of stating 'Urea is degraded by urease- an enzyme present in most pathogenic bacteria'. How the hell do you paraphrase that?
So my progress so far : a word document with the title heading (Urea degrading bacteria: Characteristics of species P. mirabilis and M. morganii), my name, my institution's name, a few headings (Abstract, Introduction, Characteristic of Proteus mirabilis, Characteristic of Morganella morganii, Conclusion, References) .. AND ABSOLUTELY NO SIGN OF ACTUAL BODY TEXT.
If I ever discover a bacteria of my own .. what should I call it? I think I'll hold a competition and the best name-giver will .. umm .. go on an magical evening outing thingy with me .. yes .. yes .. never become a scientist .. it makes you desperate .. very very desperate .. (I am under no circumstances suggesting that I am one though) .. [as in the scientist part .. everyone will pretty much agree that I AM desperate] .. {I have a feeling that desperate is spelt wrong .. is it? awaiting for my one and only reader to clarify .. oh what the hell .. I'll just leave it as it is (or I could check it myself)} ..
