I hate 8:30 classes. Feeling tired sitting in the classroom, just getting a 3-hour sleep last night working on a lab report. But fortunately, I found my student ID card back - it was laying in my pencil box lol and I did not even notice that. Anyway, no need to waste extra 100 dollars for a stupid card. Kai is technically "recognizable" across the campus again :)
The Quantitative PCR assay learnt from the Molecular Biology lecture is very cool. I may apply it a lot in my final year project, analyzing the amount of miRNA and its regulation on dopamine level of zebrafish. Dr.Xia's explanation is clear enough. I think he has made big progress on delivering lectures, which makes me feel comfortable. Sometimes I don't want to feel stupid understanding tons of boring facts and mechanisms of biology. I need to know how it applies to the life and what kinda problem it targets for.
And for the competition, yes I think I would like to give a shot on it. Though many friends do not think that is a good idea since its biased towards local students, I don't want to miss any chance to practice the english skills and presentation skills. This leads to my way to become a cool PhD and professor. Sounds like a strong ambition, but now I have a long way to go. Tonight maybe I need to pick up two lists of GRE vocabulary. In addition, if the competition things are on my schedule, it is time to book the railway ticket back Hong Kong from Shanghai, which I think may be not later than Jan.3rd. Lab also needs me during that time. Kinda foresee a booming second semester.
Hope the global cafe tonight goes well. Haven't seen many international friends for a long time, maybe tonight there would be some funny chatting. But after that, study will occupy the whole night. So won't put too much expectation on that stuff, everything will be fine.
Hope this Tuesday could be longer so that more stuff on my checklist would be ticked up. At least right now I have a thrill to do that.
