currently, i am supposed to be writing my bio S essay, titled:

"Discuss the similarities and the differences between mitochondria and chloroplast with reference to energy transformations and their prokaryotic origins."

which is presenting a bit of a problem given that mitochondria and chloroplast are microscopic organelles barely 1 micrometre in length, and as such nobody really gives a shit about them, much less with reference to their energy transformations and their prokaryotic origins. and i am supposed to be producing a FIVE PAGE essay on this! have you heard of anything more ridiculous than that??? something tells me this is going to be a long night.

in happier news, today rathi ho and the GP teachers were off on some course, so we finished school at 12 today. which is just as well, since it was our triple science lecture day, and God knows that the human brain can only take so much. only bio lecture was a waste of time though, especially when nah started singing the most spasticated homer simpson song ever. it went something like:

"dough, a food to go with beer,
ray, the light that shines through beer,
me, the one who drinks the beer,
far, the distance from the beer"

and so on and so forth. how that had ANYTHING to do with biotechnology i have no idea. all i know was that my stomach was dissolving itself with hunger and that it was about then that the voice in my head started saying "cheesecake! cheesecake!"

after physics lec quite a few people from class decided to catch the 1pm show for Hitch at j8. i am proud to say that i resisted temptation. i am supposed to be saving money and movie quota so that i can blow it during the holidays, which are ONLY A WEEK AWAY! anyway, the saving money bit sorta didn't work out, because i caved into the "cheesecake!" chant at coffee bean, and HAD to have the rasberry cheesecake brick with erica. and then, of course, i had to have an ice blended drink and other food to go with it. incidentally, erica claims that she lost 0.5 kg after running for half an hour yesterday, which sounds a little dubious. i never knew exercise had such rapid effects! anyway fishie immediately dismissed it as 'nonsense', saying that if it were true, she'd lose 2kg every training session. which i guess would be a bit freaky. because where does all that weight go to? do you sweat it out as sweat? or do the fats like vapourise or something??

omg i need to start my essay!!
