The toothache is getting worse and there's no chance of it letting up...took a pain killer and dozed off again..missed a meeting with my advisor...dats not a problem,since wot i wanted to meet her about would not have been over in half an hour..so met her after class...discussed which option should i pick.. a dry lab or a wet lab...after a chat wid her and a chance meeting wid another prof,i am more inclined towards a wet lab....that way i dont sacrifice my wet lab skills,i can always enter into a dry lab later on...but d reverse is not possible...however d dry lab proj is jus as interseting...but perhaps i am blinded by its glamourous name...i will need to do a lot of intensive studdying if i go to her lab...dats not a prob really,but den there's d issue of sacrificing experience from a hardcore mol bio lab as against a lab wid a very narrow agenda....anyways...preparing for d mol onco exam and for d term paper...freedom on d 22nd!!
came to a decision yesterday...sort of an epiphany u can say...its amazing d amount of time ppl spend in pursuits without thinking whether it's going to pay dem dividends in d end.jus bcos it makes dem happy,they pursue it..they do kno its not going to meet wid a crushing defeat later,but they never ask themselves-will i b ready to face defeat wen it comes knocking on my doorstep..will i embrace it as a part of life or like an ostrich put my head in d sand..sometimes it's better to take stock of things wen it's still not too late rather dan trying to dam a raging river...den u can either make a herculean effort to dam it or allow urself to be pulled by its flow..either way,u wish u had stopped it wen it was not too late...
the human mind is really a weird contraption..it makes one believe in a false hope,making u feel dat it's not a mirage but really an oasis in a desert..how better it wud be if our minds were evolvd to a degree where we could dissociate our feelings wid our thought processed...not to get biased in our decisions by emotions...
