cramming through articles of nanostructure really saturates my head...paper after paper of tensile strength, elastic modulus, interlocking platelets of aragonite and calcium carbonate composition, mineral bridges, mineral island like nanoasperites, positively charged protein polymer adhesive that glues the aragonite platelets together in a hexagonal structure...and how SEM, AFM, electron microscopy and i-dunno-what-other-microscope come into play in examining these structures in at the micro and nano scale....

bleah.

but my part for this paper is still nonexistent, i'm only STILL reading papers and noting down points. no consolidation yet. no organisation of points yet. no paragraphs yet. no 3000 words yet.

oh wait, that applies to my emotions term paper due next week too...save for the fact that i haven' even started reading papers for THAT paper yet.

HELP.

oh again, there's the genbio lab assignment due this friday, i don't even know what questions we have to answer yet.

and there's the biopsyc meeting tonight to discuss our presentation, which i have not found all the answers yet. because we have to submit our questions by friday in preparation for the 20% presentation next wed in class.

is that it?

yes, for now.

i don't even have space to think about the deadlines for the nanoworld project and clinical lab term paper.

oh, and there's all that back-lagged readings for emotions, biopsyc, general bio, and catching up on lectures for nanoworld because evening lectures 2 days in a week are just neither friendly nor conducive for consistent attendance.

brilliant.
