Reports.

Man they're fun but gods I want to finish it quickly.

Here's part of my introduction for your viewing pleasure.

"...In part two, Doherty’s contribution will be explained fully, and assessed for its significance to the wider medical community since 1996 through a comparison between pre-discovery understanding of cell-mediated immunity and current 21^st medical knowledge in immunology...."

Isn't it exciting? I swear, I knew nothing about this a few weeks ago but man, now it's so much clearer.

I suppose a few lectures on immunology, histology and microscopical anatomical pathology (probably not exactly what it's called, but big phrases are fun.)

I want to go out with a friend tomorrow, but I have a student at 5:30 to 6:30, and I'd have to leave Uni at 4... which means... I have like 1/2 an hour to shop around with the friend, which is kinda unsatisfying.

I'm very much considering moving the time from 5:30  to say... 7:30 or something. My parents aren't going to be happy, but that's what independance is for right?

Or maybe I'm just a snobbishly elitist elite...ly...chau....vinist................

It's so much harder to be self-degrading when you don't believe in what you're saying.

Oh and. I had something to talk about too. Besides sleeping for 1.5 hours on the way to uni and still getting there prior to 9.

Oh yes. Today's lectures were about acute inflammation with a very punny professor. 

"Why acute inflammation? Well, seeing as you have to do inflammation, we figured why not start with a cute one."

"...And so, when you study abscesses (localised collections of pus) you have to think about all the 
pus-abilities"

He's pretty cool - again, maybe not a Buckland, but close enough.

But gods the prac today was a computer lab one and it was booooring and slooooooow. I just spun in my spinny office chair to pass the two hours. Sure it's useful, but they don't have to drag it out so much.

Going back to my original point...

I saw a Muslim girl today with an iPhone and what appeared to be a designer handbag or an imitation.

I was confused at quite length.

Anyone want to hazard a guess why?

I realised after staring subtly for a while that I had a preconception that religion is a way of life in the sense that it overrides any other type of socio-cultural influence. It still surprises me when I have Muslim tutors for biochem labs. It shouldn't, I know, and yes I'm a horrible person for even thinking in this way, but it's not that I have any ill feeling, I'm just surprised, and then surprised at my surprise.

And then glad. It only takes one fanatical orthodox [insert religious adjective/category/person here] to ruin my week.

I think I came close to offending one of my friends when I expressed my dislike of the Vatican. I asked almost immediately after realising whether he considered the Vatican to be a big part of his life. To my relief, he said no, but I was still thinking about it hours later, and as you can see, days later.

When I say dislike, it's probably more like "borderline rant-y hatred"

And I should check my diaries more often. I'm so disorganised. And my room's pretty messy XD

I need to remedy that in the mid-sem break.

My thanks to whoever decided Easter would be a Fabulous commercial holiday.

Hoping you guys don't get offended too much by what I say. I don't mean to make people hate me - unlike them political commentators and radio show hosts etc.

GODS I just remembered. BOB BROWN IS A DOCTOR. A. DOC. TOR. LIKE WTF. WHY. He's gonna be talking at  UAdelaide mid-Apr about climate change impacts on health.

And before I forget, there's like a bajillion competitions for things, including an essay on cancer for a trip to Vienna, and an essay for a 30k scholarship or something. And there's the Biohackathon. I need to get that organised. Gods... so busy.
