Today’s the first day of Molecular Biology (BioMol) module, which will run for another 6 weeks. As the name obviously suggests, this module deals with various molecules floating around in the cells, and some outside the cells. Carbs, lipids, proteins, enzymes, the whole nine yards – although “the whole nine nanometers” would be more appropriate.
As usual, the topics will be spread out and explained in lectures, lab experiments, and group discussions. The lectures will of course cover these biomolecules, along with the application of BioMol in medicine. If today's two lectures were any indication, I can sense sleep deprivation lurking in the near future. Lab experiments are carried out by 3 departments: biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. Considering the departments involved, the field would not be as broad as in the previous module. Fortunately, lack of variation doesn’t kill. Group discussions, well, what can I say? This is the best way to not actually learn anything, and be scored for doing it.
On the paper, the schedule doesn’t look so hectic. I get many short days, mostly ending even before noon. Now, if only I can channel my goodwill and concentration to those free times to study…
