I have to write an essay comparing and contrasting molecular interactions of 2 different nucleic acid binding proteins for next monday, i also have to start making notes from my Macromolecules lectures, and i have to revise chemistry and biology for the mid semesters tests that are a week on tuesday. Then i have to go into Woolworths tomorrow for training.

Ha ha !
Woolworths training=4 hours of crappy videos which bear no resemblance to actual job. At least for me anyway. Plus the knowledge you're being paid less than everyone else yet will be stuck with the crappiest jobs (unless you get lucky like I did :D ) there is, at the busiest time of the year, and you get no staff discount. However you will get ample oppurtunity to laugh at the idiocy of the average shopper at Christmas time.
Back to despair. I'm part way through an essay about the Plague, and it's blo^dy depressing stuff. The vaccine only protects against one type, and the types it doesn't do much against have a 50% mortality rate, and they're the type most likely to end up in the West or be used in a bioterror attack, and to get hold of the stuff you'd need a few rodents worth. Which is handy, because it's endemic in about half the rats in rural Asia, China and Africa. Plus it's airborne in it's pneumonic variant (which there is no vaccine for) and takes anything up to 10 days to develop from initial infection.
Over 300 years since it hit Europe and killed 1/3 of the UK population, we've got very few defences against it, and those we do have are being depleted because the disease is mutating to become resistent to the exisiting drug treatments. In 2001 the US ran a wargame called Dark Winter, with Smallpox as the disease, and found that they were totally unprepared. they ran another in 2003, and found they were little more prepared, and the Plague is easier to acquire than Smallpox but a little less deadly.
Oh yes, I found out that the world map as seen in most books is wrong as well.

Um...indeed.
The fact that a paragraph with as many big words as that is followed by...

Is comic genius.
