Sherlock Holmes, Cells and the Spring

While there was the odd spell of cold weather it seems that spring really is here and it gets hot too. I had to wear a t-shirt outside this weekend but resumed some bird spotting and binocular astronomy. The bad news is that the economy is still having some problems.

I finished the major part of biochemistry and am now back on genetics and will soon be turning to microbial life. The biochemistry was indeed as savage as expected. I understand the principles but could do a lot better. It really is another world and a lot is expected from me. I only had 6 weeks to cover it and the depth of the material is most certainly something that should take many months to learn. So the pressure is on. I have had to restructure study plans and methods to make way for this.

I finished reading River Out of Eden by Richard Dawkins. Watched The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Return of Sherlock Holmes and am currently playing Resident Evil 5. What more can I say really other than a month vanished mostly into the abyss of organic chemicals, proteins and how cells deal with them. Still its what I signed up for. :)
