Biochem blogger


So I’ve decided to try my hand at blogging, I mean why put interesting ideas to waste? Warning in advance, I am a scientist (well will be in a bit starting my undergrad year doing biochemistry)

But sometimes I wonder, aren’t we all just a lifesize version of a textbook, we grow taller: mitosis, develop fingers: apoptosis. All of our thinking and being can be traced down and broken into the firing of neurons and division of cells. I know its more complicated than that but it makes sense. But what presses the buttons on our remote control? (not an actual one, the central nervous system would be appropriate here) this is usually the starting points of debates but I wont go there. Anyways that what I find really fascinating, and if you do too that’s great!

The hot topic right now seems to be going to university, and I’ll be going to university (Yaay, God willing) But what do I do now, I’ll be commuting, the whole journey is around 40 minutes so that should be fine. But that does mean that I’ll be missing out on the whole “university experience” I’ve heard so much about it, I’ve even met some people who live near the uni that live on campus for that particular reason. Bummer.  But what I have done is logged on to the student room and seen if I could find other people doing my course, I honestly don’t know what I was expecting when I did,  I found one other person so yh. I think the whole uni experience thing is over rated though from what I hear its all about the night life, bars and getting drunk. But I’m a Muslim so those things are off my list, hopefully I’ll find something though. I don’t know but I’ve always wanted to be in some sort of group, not like the ones that you see in American high schools though, where you see a group of jocks and cheerleaders etc. but like a group of people that share the same interests as me, like a debating society or a drama club. Definitely a sports team though, I’ve always wanted to join a serious girls football team, I have once when I was in year 9 (aged 13)  anything after that was non-competitive and most of the girls only did it because they found the PE teacher attractive (typical). So I cant wait to play competitively again.

For those of you lucky enough to be moving out, I wish you the best of luck. And for us commuters, we need to find ourselves something to do hombres. I don’t know about you guys but after results day I threw my A level material out, well, except for the textbooks I’ve bought which I’m still contemplating on selling or keeping just in case I need them for my first year.
