Meatless, Plants and Six Feet Under

Summer is going strong and will probably get even warmer. I am literally sweating by the time I get home. So the weather right now is really good and I am enjoying it as much as I can.

I have now a choice between microbes, plants and animals and to specialize in two. I believe it will be plants and animals. Right now I am studying the plant section and I find it more interesting than microbes but also more detailed. I am also into revision a lot more and go back over work I have done to try and get a better grip of the material for the october exam. There is a lot of study to do and I find that it is very complex beyond belief. Lots of others are in a bit of panic mode although there are ways to deal with this.

Since I started with the animal rights book I stopped eating meat. It has been interesting doing this lifestyle change because it’s not easy. Switching from not eating meat is the easy part. The hard part is finding vegetarian dishes at lunchtime or discovering what’s new to cook. So I purchased a Veganomicon and I am cooking from it.

I finished reading Unweaving the Rainbow by Richard Dawkins. I am currently reading The Theory of Evolution by John Maynard Smith. I finished watching season 1 of Six Feet Under and season 4 of Battlestar Galatica. I am watching the last season of Deep Space Nine Season 7, the final season of Battlestar Galatica and Season 2 of Six Feet Under.
