exams ended.

this sem has been really fun, interesting and fulfilling. I felt that i've made full use of it, and lived every minute of it. I've been a relatively consistent student, finished studying all topic before exams, did adequate research for my papers and questioned enough;) I've a tinge of regret that i can't continue on with year 4 honour for further studies in to my area of interest. But, i still need to do the research, which not really interested and i can always read up more with my foundations.

the modules i took this semester really poke me and made my question and rethink about alot of things.
1) comparative animal physiology
Prof ip is the teacher i wish i can become. He inspire and spark the interest in learning biology in people, inspire people to learn not jus for exams and it is amazing to jus read up about certain topic jus for our knowledge in life.
curiosity
scientist have to ask good questions, not jus memorising and accepting theories. Theories are not always right, they're jus waiting to be proven wrong.
learning have to fun and with a purpose
linking the big picture
Besides interest, there have to be value to sustain the drive and determination in research
enjoy life, live life to the fullest, eat all u can, go travel and visit the kitchen:)

2) global change bio
conservation has alot of talk going on. What people know and think about conservation is jus 'protecting animal and plants' and that was what i think it was. The module gave me an insight and intro into what real ground conservation is about. it's about warring with the government, the people about ideology, trying to convince then it's time to believe the facts etc. it's more than just setting up national park and so-called protected areas to conserve animals/plants. the real change will come with awareness and education i believe.
3) ecology
4) cardio
