Dreams
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
School has been absolutely intense! Thankfully, the bulk of midterms are finally over and I’ve been faced with moderate success. I could have always worked harder, though, and I hope that I will do so before my finals.
I’ve been watching television (using Miro!) and playing video games to assuage myself this term, more than ever. I think that the stress is getting to me. I always thought I was impervious to stress but the growing emphasis on mental health nowadays has been making me aware of the unhealthy and unhealthful ways in which I live my life.
I think this will teach me some good lessons about decision-making (e.g. course planning, job seeking, etc.). I’m not the person I thought I was, nor do I know if I will become him.
I’m excited to write my paper for ENGL 304, though. I’m not entirely sure of my topic but I’m trying to flesh out the details – it will be about scientific public discourse (that is to say, the bilateral discussion between scientists and laypeople) about genes and genetics. I’m interested in examining the ways in which scientists describe genes and genetics, the ways in which scientists elucidate the public and how it is (mis)represented or (mis)used. It goes back to my essay in ENGL 112 on genomic metaphors; I’ll be digging out that old essay to look at.
Fled is that music
This morning, I had a dream that I was browsing the UBC SSC and then someone dropped out of the section of ENGL 343 for which I wanted to register. So I woke up and logged into the SSC to register for the course. It turned out that no one had dropped out at all. I went back to sleep. MLIA.
