fencer_xTime for the update thingee!
Been back at school for a week, and classes this semester are pretty much the same as last semester. Though there is a cute guy in my Biomedical Genetics class...
Speaking of that class, AMY! And anyone else who wants a good read: You MUST go find "Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters" by Matt Ridley. It's our book for Genetics, but it's not a textbook, just a simple reading book. It's absolutely FASCINATING. What it basically does is address one pair of the 23 chromosomes in the human genome per chapter, along with the facets of human life that pair governs. There's a chapter on linguistics and language (discussin how humans seem to be hard-wired to instinctively learn some language), another on just what 'memory' is, another on creativity, and of course a chapter on sexuality (the discussion of the 'gay gene' was just...WOW). A VERY good read so far, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a little free time.
In other news, I did my first translation (a Kyou Kara Maou doujinshi; if you don't know what that is, then it doesn't concern you) for a scanlation group--go me! I used one of my gmail invites to open up an account strictly for me to upload stuff so friends can download things from it (so I'll give the name and password to anyone who wants it). Songs, text files, pretty much anything below 10mb (since that's the largest attachment I can handle) will go in here, and if someone wants it just drop me a reply or whatever. Got requests? I'll help if I can.
Also, came across a very very...well, strange, but quite fascinating essay from another LJ user, here. If you're a Christian, and if you read slash (again, if you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to concern yourself with it) it's well worth a read. Made me think long and hard... Agree? Disagree? I don't claim to be well-versed on such topics as this, but it does make you sit back and think.
When are people's Spring Breaks? Mine's the week before my bday (March 22), so that would make it...14-18? Something like that.
