After many weeks of never ending work, I’m finally finished
for the year. I’m kind of happy but also sad (hear me out before you think I’m
crazy) I’m happy because I’m not stressed out and because I don’t have
important deadlines to meet. However I quite enjoyed lectures even though I
fell asleep in them more times than I can remember. Looking back at the year,
I’ve never fallen asleep in a human structure and function lecture, this was
due to very vague lecture notes. The lecturer was also lively, so any future
students at my uni doing bioscience, if you have Dr G you’re in for a treat.
Now to why I’m sad part. I have nothing to do, nothing to
get out of bed for. I’ve been writing some more poetry but there’s only so much
one can write. Before anyone thinks “why doesn’t she just get a job” I’ve come
to the conclusion that I’m just unlucky when it comes to that, been applying
for jobs as they come on the market but no one gets back to me. Someone should
tell them what they’re missing out on lol. I tried to do some spring cleaning,
which was hopeless. As soon as you go to the 2nd room the first one
gets messed up.
I’ve made up a sort of bucket list for the things I want to
do this summer these are:
·
Learn how to code
·
Loads of reading and writing
·
Paint my room
·
Get a 6 pack (Abs)
·
Raise money for charity
After watching the social network and a documentary about entrepreneurs
I realised they all had one thing in common, computers, they all did coding in
one form or another. Many of them becoming millionaires, just recently the
‘flappy bird’ craze made the owner super rich in just a couple of weeks. It’s
the one area I think that rewards creativity and lots of work quickly. I’m not
planning on becoming the next Mark Zuckerberg, to me, it’s just a skill that I
want to have.
I think if I didn’t take a science route I would’ve done
creative writing of some sort. And reading, books are so encapsulating. They
take you to a whole other world that you wouldn’t normally see, and teach you
things about the world which you didn’t know. 2 books I read recently are ‘your
genes unzipped’ that had a lot of interesting things in there. One that
fascinated me was; there was a little boy who was just a few months old having
a circumcision when something went wrong. The doctor then told the parents it
would be easier for the boy to be ‘made’ female genitalia rather than to try
fix the problem. The little boy was treated like a girl since, named a female
name etc. etc. But the child never felt like a girl and had a hard time. When
‘she’ was told the truth ‘she’ had surgery to correct things and he lived
happily ever after. Which makes me question, what is gender really, is it a state of mind rather than the genitalia? Do
chromosomes on the X and Y determine our psychological state of which we feel
like? I don’t see how this question can be answered. My point is, read, there
is a whole world of fascination and crazy stuff out there that you might miss
out on if you don’t read about them.
2nd book was keeping hope alive by Dr Hawa Abdi, I
don’t think this woman gets enough publicity, her story is truly inspirational.
She also taught me a lot about the Somali civil war which I didn’t know much
of.
6 packs, I’ve always wanted to get them. Besides I need to
lose all that weight I gained during exams. I actually went to the gym today,
for the first time in a very long time. But whatever I was trying to achieve
was nullified when I went to heavenly deserts, and let me tell you, they are
indeed heavenly. But as of tomorrow, I shall control my sugar levels (Insha’Allah)
type 2 diabetes is no joke.
peace out!
