BS intolerance syndrome

[Guest guest]

Yeah I have clear cardiac and CNS manifestations of that... actually

I was born under that star but I generally keep it under wraps.

I find curiosity is the truly strong glue for getting your stuff

together in the long run. Everything I hunted over the last 2 years

is hardwired, even if it did take stupidly long to get certain

keystones in place. Biochem/cell/molbio GREs are right on target.

I've definitely learned tons from classes - just not quite as much as

from private study and lab research mentorship.

O-chem's the one subject I did strictly scholastically, and gritted

for two A-minuses by scrawling every law and reaction mech 25 times

in a notebook. And I barely remember the easy stuff, despite even

having a superb lecturer, my best yet. (He kept it *way* linear, by

using an overhead projector with hand-drawn transparencies that he

altered or elaborated as he lectured - not powerpoint which IMO is

usually a didactic white elephant piece of crap.)

If I could liven up a lil I'd just give Academus his pound of flesh

without a wince. Its hard to do when your waking day is (not counting

drowsiness troughs during the day) maybe 3 hours short of the mean -

a stiff %difference in disposable time.
