The end of my fall Junior year

I'm actually having a lot of fun trying to figure out the Html coding for this blog and tweaking it. What a great way to procrastinate. Though I really should be studying, as my genetics final is tomorrow, and I didn't do that well on my physics one yesterday. I know most people would probably be happy with my score, but I could have should have done better, had I actually went to class the last month of the semester. Guess I just thought I could take the shortcuts and still pull it off. To tell you the truth, I'm burned out. I no longer have that inspiration, that drive. And I'm hoping that this winter break, and my trip to Japan and Hong Kong, will find me able to gain control back over my life, to do the things I know I need to do, to have the time to do the things I want to do, and the strength to overcome the complacency that has taken over me lately. I feel that the last seven or eight months have just been completely insane, I've been mentally all over the place, and my stability and support in many ways has either disintegrated or been replaced with new, more fragile beams. And I can point to the exact day all this began. But that's a story for another day, for now, I will attempt to learn the genetics of cancer, development, population, evolution, and decipher a paper on a study done to identify genes in a receptor tyrosine kinase pathway that produces an eye cell in fruit flies. Sound complicated? Believe me, it is. Wish me luck, and I will see you soon.
