Funeral for 306

Tomorrow marks the death of 306 as we know it.

Well... 306 has been alot of fun, the seminars and paper presentations that allow us to drift off in class was the BEST. MH was the ever comical host that made me smile. It means alot to me to witness the life of a breathing mouth-pipetting professor with an intact sense of dark british humour.

Legend has it that he has once stuck his head into the fumehood to mouth pipette some volatile chemical like Methanol or Phenol. The fact that the chemical is in the fumehood and he puts his mouth to the other end of a hollow glass tube immersed in the chemical amuses me. All hail MH!

MH aside, to say our heartfelt goodbyes, we will be putting up short skits presentation describing the miniproject that we have all been doing and then entertaining a short Q&A. After all the wayang business, I am glad to say we will be having a BBQ with a few beers on the Genetics Lawn, next to the Genetics Building.

I just wish that my group members actually have some slides by now. I have been angsting over their lack of interest which also explains the top grade headache that I am entertaining. At least I am proud to say that T has manages a cross for the linkage part. For the rest, I hope it will miraculously fall in place tomorrow. Which I am pretty sure it will. =) Cross your fingers for me!

I hope the death part does not spill over to the presentations. Otherwise, I love a good wake with BBQ and beer.
