In an effort to avoid working (I really must stop doing that) I have looked again at my final year project summary sheet - and it's so much better than I thought it would be! One of the exciting things is that I have to read a 200-page book about the Human Genome Project. I know. Isn't it fabulous? Well I think it is, it looks like a popular science book rather than a book written by people who are really knowledgeable about Biology, like me :-P I'm sure I'll get really sick of all the reading after a while but once I've done it I'll feel like I've achieved something, which isn't a feeling I've experienced very often on this course. Also in my 30 minute seminar it says I have to do a practical demonstration, which I didn't look into too much and thought it meant a proper lab demonstration being the silly person I am. BUT all I have to do is show people how to use the online databases. Hurrah! I'm even starting to get enthusiastic about the whole thing (this will wear off). Now I';m going to my Protein Targeting lecture. The lecturer is Caroline Quentin so I must not be late :-).

It sounds like things are not so bad after all. I'm really happy for you. I've had moments over the past few weeks of being excited about my essay, too. Once I get over the initial 'having to write the darned thing' disaster, having it lying on my desk for the rest of my life will probably be quite relaxing. And I can submit it everytime they ask for an essay, but with a different title.
That book you have to read looks awesome. Let me know when you've finished your course so that I can borrow it.
