Just let the thoughts flow, Bridget Jones style

Number of experiments done...0
A very cold morning...faced it as an eskimo and a big mug of hot chocolate.
Amount of cake consumed...4 different varieties...chocolate for breakfast, chocolate mint, tea cake for morning tea...now stuffed with cake :P
Topics of conversation...do aliens exist...hmmm, maybe but the hunt is still on...maybe we're in an alien invasion right now!...are scientists really trustworthy..are we real? Or do we exist Matrix style...so we don't really exist at all! If it is Matrix style, hope my "incubator" has nice beach side views or a mountain view...or at least I get a good view of the sunrise :)

Other things....just had last session of my "Assertive Communication" course...conclusion...sad, will miss the group...wonder if we'll stay in contact? its strange because you learn deep, personal issues about these people, yet you know nothing about these people at all...it would be very strange to learn the basics...their post graduate study, age, where they're from etc...is it possible to get to know people when you met them in a group where you discuss personal issues...be interesting to see...but I think for me it might be a bit too uncomfortable...they know things about me that other people don't have a clue about...but the course taught me a lot...need to know true self made me more self aware, and that assertive communication will not always give you the desired outcome...but rediscovered my assertive voice! Hopefully she'll be around a bit more! Or maybe now just one very confused being :P

Ooooh, lunch time...time to eat...its a time to learn new things...I didn't know that it is bad luck to leave a christmas tree up after New Years Day (thanks Geordie and Ryan)...that might explain why my life has turned out the way it has, as we have always left our christmas tree up every year...lol...not true!

Also highlight of the day is here....just being able to sit and talk to Ryan about random stuff ...and we managed to stay away from lab work...almost...hadn't been able to sit and talk to him for ages been busy doing own thing...conversations like that....although you will have many of these 'everyday' conversations, at the time, with different people, they brighten up your day and remind you that its the people who touch your life make it special and worthwhile. Its so hard to remember sometimes when people treat you like crap, or you're just got a million things to do and can't think straight and you're freaking out...

Had my last 2nd year microbiology tutorial...well a swot vac one next week, not quite the same...feel kind of sad, will miss tutoring although was stressful at times preparing all those tutorials, then getting frustrated when students just aren't interested...though fun trying to explain concepts and a sense of achievement when you know you've communicated a concept effectively :) Got an email about the biochemistry tutorial I did on Tuesday...the one where I wanted to be invisible because I felt I wasn't explaining enzyme kinetics properly...got an email from the tutor who normally takes that class that they found the tutorial useful...cheered me up after that very emotionally bleak Tuesday.

Went to a careers type seminar, where various people talked about their careers and how they got there...I know I'm supposed to network, but its one of the most difficult things, to be able to sell yourself. Makes me want to scream and run away. So I did.

And now...sitting in a computer lab on campus, using a funky apple mac computer...eating an apple...
