Take 3

The final blog post has come upon us and, unsurprisingly, I still have little to no idea what to actually write about. I suppose a sort of reflection on the class as a whole would be appropriate? Hmmm, but I can also imagine that thing's might get a bit repetitive given that we have already had our feedback session. What to do, what to do? -Ok bet, let's go with that. At first, I wasn't particularly looking forward to 109; those 15 units with 2 4-hr lab blocks absolutely weren't looking like the move. But having gone through the experience, 109 gets the distinction of being one of the few class experiences I would say that I enjoyed: not hated, like 8.01, not more or less apathetic towards, like 6.0001/2, but actually enjoyed. Though those chunks did cut into my availability for lab research, I have received some great benefits from the class, the most helpful of which has been from its written CI-M aspects. Though I have given presentations and journal clubs in th...

Jesus H Christ, I am so tired. Objectively, no human has ever been as tired as me. Not one. Not even Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street when she's staying up for days to not get murdered by Freddy Krueger. Not even that other lady from Nightmare on Elm Street when she's staying up for days to not get murdered by Freddy Krueger. On the positive side, I am not staying up for days to not get murdered by Freddy Krueger. In fact, the lab report keeping me up is quite docile compared to him. Even quite docile compared to many of the assignments in 20.109. It's a summary of a semester's research that accomplished a little less than the whole of Mod1. So, if there's one thing I can be grateful for about 20.109, its that it makes other classes look easy.

Dear Jenny

Dear Jenny, I’m not really sure what you were thinking when you agreed to be lab partners with me. You knew what my work habits (or lack thereof) were like from 20.110. Yet, you still agreed to be lab partners with me, and for that, I’m forever grateful. I don’t think I could have gotten through this class without you. You dealt with my time difference (so you stayed up 3 hours later than usual), my endless stream of dumb science puns/jokes, and bufoonery. You also took the initiative to get started on the assignments, and that motivated me to try to do the same since I didn’t want to let you (or your grade) down (sorry if I did so anyways, but bless PNR). Anyways, I’m writing this to you on the 109 blogs because I think you deserve to be recognized for all your hard work! Also, here are some of my favorite exchanges with you on Facebook Messenger (I’m pretty sure there was a lot of other great moments on calls, but they’re not recorded*) Your lab partner, Kevin P.S. Can you let me...
