The University of Edinburgh is a wonderful place to spend your postgraduate days (or undergraduate for that matter), especially if you are an aspiring scientist. The Roslin Institute is home to many great findings (such as Dolly the Sheep), and it is a privilege to feel part of this little society. The masters course, is a wonderful one, filled of challenges and at the moment a lot of dissections, and lab work. As daunting as it sounds, it really isn't too bad, and the staff members are all very helpful. Even if sometimes they aren't too sure whats going on either. Being a masters student of course, is a challenge in itself, but I guess I will have to keep my chin up and go through life.
You know, to be honest, sometimes I wonder why I'm here. Not the general "life" question of course, but the why I am here doing the current thing I'm doing type question. Currently, its because I don't really know what I want to do. I don't know what I am capable of, I don't know what I can achieve, I don't know my boundaries and how I can extend myself beyond them. I just really don't know. I'm not getting existentialist here or anything, but really, why am I here? I suppose it is to find out the questions above, and to realize what it is I want to do in life. And if I don't find that out anytime soon, then maybe, I'll just have to keep looking. Life is like that sometimes.
But I do know however who I am. I am God loving, hungry, (currently) semi-depressing, starting to get very hungry, music-playing person. And a scientist. I'm totally a scientist.
