Thoughts from a soggy mind - best served Cold

Yet another week has flown by and i’m counting down to the spring break with relish. It’s amazing how sometimes you just don’t want time to pass by so quickly and yet it does, other times you want it to go faster and yet it just seems to slow to a crawl. Arghh.

That said, tis’ been quite a happy and happening week for me. For starters, I actually didn’t have BIOL1004 labs while the PHYS1004 lab turned out okay too despite the inevitable rush (wrote Methods, drew "Diagrams" and finished Conclusion in about 7 minutes). The fun part was my BIOl1009 practical this week - Snail dissection. While the practical itself was kinda fun (I mean, how interesting can snails be?), the real show was the special ‘meal’ we had prior to the prac. Courtesy of our lecturer Dr Blackwell, we had a selection of invertebrates cooked in various styles. And they were all invertebrates we had studied in previous lectures so you kind of look at them in a different light, lol.

Clockwise from top: Baby clam, krill, jellyfish in spicy oil, octopus, mussel, snail in garlic butter and chocolate-coated insect (i got a cricket)

Insect larvae with Mexican Spice..other flavours include Cheddar Cheese and BBQ :S

Mr Snail prior to being cut apart and poked at everywhere. Pardon the blurry image, had to snap this in a hurry.

The cricket didn’t taste all that nice(as expected) but the snail was surprisingly very good. Haven’t tried the larvae though.

Allright..guess that’s all for now. Gotta go revise, mid-sem exams are coming up and I’m still not prepared. Take care guys, and best of luck.

p/s: Weather’s really bad lately. Take care of your health!
