Busy Days

Presents

I wanted to take a photo of some of the presents I received for my birthday but I’ve been quite busy and (as a result) lazy, so I suppose that will wait. Besides, I’m still waiting on a couple of presents. But thank you, thank you, everyone. Bottom-of-my-heart thanks.

Business As Usual

So the semester bustles into Week 6 with all the fury of a truck armed with an angry driver. I’d like to think that this semester’s going worse than any of the ones that preceded it, but I suppose it’s impossible to compare that fairly and I’m always going to think that anyway.

I had at first thought that this week, being the one before the mid-semester break, would be slightly easier to get through, but it’s turned out to be quite the opposite and it’s in fact crunch time for a couple of subjects. Not looking good. Not looking good. But I’m sure it’ll all sort itself out. Eventually.

Brontosaurus

For some reason, I enjoyed this xkcd a lot. [via xkcd] I think maybe because it has to do with love. And then also that it has to do with dinosaurs. Few things are more awesome than these two put together.

Neuron Gene

“Scientists discovered a gene – called AP2gamma – crucial for the neural development of the visual cortex, in a discovery that can have implications for the therapeutics of neural regeneration as well as provide new clues about how the brain evolved into higher sophistication in mammals.”
