It’s the morning and I’m currently awake, hence my writing this.

Surprising, I know.

Still, it’s the first time in a while that I’ve been up and writing here as usually I do it in the evening as it’s a lot easier to procrastinate then than it is now, although this is being productive in a sense, so it’s not really procrastinating.

Anyway…

So today I’m off to work and tonight the almighty cram begins as I want to ensure I do well on my final exam and it being only a few days away, I figured that if I spend a lot of time cramming, I’ll be able to retain more information than I thought I would.

My biggest problem with the subject is the amount of terms that I need to be familiar with.

I can explain some of the things I’ve learned about fairly well (such as meiosis and mitoses, enzymes, some DNA processes, and something else that eludes me at the present moment), but I cannot remember most of the terms.

It was only this morning that I remember that the order of meiosis (or was it mitosis?) is prophase, prometaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.

I think.

So, the almighty cram will begin soon. There will be a brief respite to review a gig up in Newcastle, as well as work on Monday, but still, it shall be as righteous as it will be furious and I’m not quite looking forward to doing it, but I have to as I really want to make sure I pass and then go into full-time study without issue.

Not too fussed that I’ll be well out of my “youth” when I finally finish; I just want to make sure that I do what I want to do and if that involves many years spent studying, then so be it.

I throw down the gauntlet to the prospect of many years to come and I take to it like a hot knife through the butter of life.

I kick reason to the curb and prepare to stare down my enemy that is the jaws of life and do not flinch, preparing to grapple with the inevitable mystery and… mystery of it all!

You get the idea.

Suffice to say, I’m somewhat excited about what lies ahead of me right now, but the next few days are going to be very intense.

That’s the way it should be as I have a lot of work to do (and it’s not for lack of studying, let me tell you, although really, I could have studied a lot more than I did, but there’s no real time to ponder what could have been as right now it’s all about what will be).

Will I pass? To be honest, I do not know, but I certainly hope so.

Either way, so long as I give it my all and make sure not to attack any ducks or fight some sort of corporeal ghost fish.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 09:59:47

Somewhat surprised I remembered the order of meiosis and mitosis; not surprised I forgot that it was for both and not one.

Now, if only I could remember as to what happens in each one.

Whilst I am aware that cramming isn’t necessarily beneficial, for me a this point it will be as it will help me remember the terms I need to.

Written in bed.
