Reading Week has Started!

I just got back from writing my last term test. Surprisingly, I didn't find it that hard. Although some of the multiple choice questions were a bit tricky. Many times I ended up with 2 choices which seemed like both are true. This made me wish I had more time on my hand to study. My textbook was right in front of me, in my backpack. How I wish I could just stretch out my arm and reach for it!

My professor always throw out two bonus questions just for fun and for us to get 1 more mark. Today's bonus question was rather tricky. It was a riddle that says, "What begins P and ends with E, and has a millions of letters?" That question caught me off guard. I couldn't think of any answers. I don't know if maybe I was just digging it too much that maybe the answer was just in the question itself. I was actually done the exam 20 minutes early, but I wasn't satisfied with the bonus questions. For all I know, this prof always throw out very easy bonus questions. Like one of last year's bonus questions was to draw a line from number 1 to number 2. I mean, even toddlers could do that. So I was just stuck in my seat for the last 20 minutes and still couldn't figure out. Anybody perhaps can help me?

Anyway, I just want to share something funny that newly wed my prof said during the midterm review hour that we had. It is an applied cell biology course, and we were doing an introduction to immunology. A girl in my class raised her hand and said that she needed a confirmation with the handshake relationship between a T-lymphocyte and a B-lymphocyte. My prof tried to explain to her but she didn't get the concept of what the prof was trying to tell her. So, my prof was trying to use the "everyday language" to explain it, and I assume that he was getting frustrated of how to explain it. So, he ranted on and on and he didn't realize that he just said, "It is a very gentle relationship between the two.. and if you grab on to me too tight you won't turn me on." The class went quiet for 1 second, and then everybody just burst in laugh. I could see my prof's face turned many shades of red. Anybody get the joke? What my prof was trying to say is that, if the two cells are connected too tight, then the B-lymphocyte won't be able to get the information that the T-lymphocyte is offering. I thought this was a funny joke =p

So my reading week has started. I can't wait to go home and not come back here for a whole week! I have many things planned for the break, such as to check out the guitar I wanted to much, go ice skating since I haven't had the chance to skate this winter, etc.. etc.. and not forgetting to catch up with my 2-week behind reading!

A lot of my friends are actually going on vacation in such a short break like this. One of my friends is going to Dominican Republic, and others are going to Florida, etc. Well, I just hope that everyone will have a relaxing break before the massive work load comes back to haunt us! As for me, I'm glad that I finished all of my exams before the reading week so I am stress-free!!

Well, this is it. Enjoy your break!
