(no subject)

It looks like some of the choice has been taken away from me by genetics department incompetance. This makes me happy - less choosing = happy Red.

Unfortunately the genetics department and the biochem dept seem to be at war and I'm the present battleground. Am v.v. scared.

Labour got in but with a reduced majority. I can live with that. Lib Dems got 61 seats - best result for a liberal party of any kind since 1929. Charlie is our darling, our darling

Nearly had voting power in the Students Union General Meeting, and I don't just mean my usual student voting power, I mean Union Council type voting power. One of them didn't turn up and in an attempt at reaching quoracy I got told I could vote for her because I'm female and I know some of the Elections and Rules committee. But we didn't achieve quoracy so I didn't get to vote.

Also cheated and put myself down as a socialist student which means they keep there grant since we had 3 Amnesty bods and they only had 1. Admittedly they had 3 people there but 2 of them don't count because they're on union council. Oh the joys of Student's Union rules and regs.

Choices

My remaining choices for one semester boil down to this

1) Human genetics that I have no interest in. It's whole organism and I'm a molecular biologist

2) Mutagenesis and Evolutionary biology - no interest in evo and mutagenesis is about something that scares the pants off me. (Sorry I was brought up post-Chernobyl, radiation scares me.)

3) Antimicrobial biochem which is kind of interesting and industrial microbio which is of less interest but you know is about biotech and stuff so it could be interesting.

Excuse me while I collapse.
