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 the past, writing a full paper paper was an entirely new experience, one which will definitely come in handy in the future (provided that I'm successful with this whole biological research thing). Noreen, Leslie, Becky and all the course staff have continued to show me that Course 20 truly cares about its students and that a good lecturer is not only a competent teacher but also a genuinely caring person. Also have to big up* Erinn for being a truly phenomenal lab partner; it's not everyday you get to work with someone whose work style and schedule pair so well with your own. 

All in all, it was an overall positive experience. And would you look at that, we actually managed to write a somewhat cohesive blog post. And it only took three tries. You go, us!

*to big up (v.): to praise, congratulate, salute, etc.

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.

A Message from the Peak of Everest

Hello world. As I stand here about twenty feet from the summit, a sense of accomplishment washes over me. It's an undertaking few have conquered. Still, at the same time I feel a sense of dread. I made it here, but what about the trip on the way down? Supplies are lower than expected, the crew is tired, and the nights have been getting longer and longer. There's a small chance we might not even have enough oxygen for the next two days, I haven't had the chance to do the math. Why are we even up here? What hubris drove us to try to conquer this majesty of nature? What were we looking for? Looking out across the broken and jagged Himalayas, I feel contemplative. It's about 6:34 am, and the darkness is starting to lift. Wind is strong, but no snowfall. We dug ourselves a little crevasse to shield ourselves from the wind, and we're on the east side of the mountain. 2 more minutes till sunrise. It was a difficult trip up. It was lonely and sad and cold and

Zooming in on Journal Club

This journal club has easily been the most unique one I’ve done. Some things still stayed the same, like having to identify key components to form cogent story. It was an interesting challenge to excavate the main data of my paper and pare unnecessary details and figures. I could feel the pressure of the 10-minute time limit as I tried to strike a proper balance of details to enhance the figures’ main story without overwhelming my audience. An unexpected challenge, however, was to get around the sheer awkwardness I felt when catching a glimpse of myself presenting in the corner of my screen. I always have had a nonzero amount of presentation anxiety, but I didn’t expect the same feelings to resurface when talking to a computer screen instead of a live audience. I also found that became more attuned to specific words and phrases than I would in a live presentation. Consequently, I found myself restarting my recordings over small details that I normally wouldn’t pay attention to.
