We're getting there captain....I think we're back on route

So, today was interesting. I trundled to campus, as I do at 8am every morning, and lo and behold, there had been a mass suicide of earthworms. I was very dismayed at this sight. Somehow the rain had called all our annelid friends to beach themselves on the pavement. I know beach isn't the correct verb, but it did look kind of like those mass jellyfish or whale beaching events. I would have taken pictures, but I thought it too morbid for a Monday.

After my enthralling 9am with a lecturer who Ula and I reckon belongs to the Scottish/Italian mafia , I trundled back home over the earthworm graveyards. Midday saw me trundling back to make my course selection for next year *insert gasp*. It goes as follows : Physiology; Chemistry for Life Sciences; The Dynamic Cell; Genes and Gene Action; Microorganisms, Cells and Immunity; and Biometrics. A pretty dandy selection I might say. This sets me up for a few honours programmes, of which I have ACTUALLY narrowed it down to two. The first being Genetics, but we all knew that was coming. The second is based on the fact that a) I have enjoyed it so much this semester...regardless of what my exam grades may be; and b) I can incorporate genetics into the honours degree as well. My second choice is *insert drum roll* Molecular Biology.

It has really fascinated me, and I think it is broad enough for me to leave my career options open. Most interesting is the protein courses we do. Currently, researches are collaborating to gather information with the Proteome Project (akin to that of the Genome Project), and it is huge. We also look at things such as Cancer and such in the honours years, which is pretty funky. So, slowly, but surely, I'm getting there. Finding my direction in life, and having fun on the way there =D

Happy Monday everyone. Hope your's has been as fab as mine.
