Stalling, stalling, stalling...

averygoodun42Get those brain cells stalling...
Actually, I have been studying hard all day (ALL. DAY.) and am finding I need a little break right now. There's only so much about genomics I can process at one time.
*yawns*
However, I think I may just pass the test tomorrow if the test scores on the (stupid) homework program are any indication. It depends, of course, on how far from the study guide the professor decides to veer. *shrugs* I'm pretty sure I have chapter 10 down pat, 11 is still kinda shaky (though mostly on disease-related stuff that almost certainly won't be on the test), and twelve... Well, I still have to review 12.
My retake of the chapters 1-9 tests went relatively well, though. Better than I expected (except on photosynthesis, which I am still struggling with. Probably because I don't care). So hopefully I will sneak by with an honest A (as opposed to an A earned by grading on a curve or other such nonsense).
However, in 29 hours, I'll be done... for better or for worse. Definitely for the better for you, as you won't be subjected to my inanity where class is concerned. Just where the rest of life is concerned. ;-)
Damn, but I'm looking forward to the break, however.
But now I should get back to work. I really do have to at least review chapter 12. Even if the book is skewed way, way in favor of genetic engineering, beyond just the optimistic cool factor. (They hardly stress how potentially horrible it is/could be. *coughmonsantocough* Hell, they didn't even mention that Dolly died of old age while still young. Learned that from lecture.) I can understand the enthusiasm, especially in light of some truly awesome things they have accomplished, but they aren't really presenting a decent dose of realism (i.e. potential long-term consequences) to balance it, IMHO. Just skating over it by saying, "Oh, that's really unlikely." Uh-huh.
Ach well.
But, yeah. Should go. Need to get to bed on time tonight so as to be as well rested as my body will allow me to be tomorrow. *nods*
Yep.
Going now.
Really.
Wish me luck...
