vervet_monkeySurvived first week of ledtures! And I absolutely love my course. I'm doing modules in Life patterns and evolution, physiology, molecular basis of life and bioanlysis. With the exception of bioanalysis, which i feel may be torture, they are all really interesting. I really got into the evolution bit the other day, not realising i'd been reading for 4 hours until i couldn't see anymore coz the sun had gone down! Hopefully I'm going to carry on enjoying it.
We have practicals starting next weejk. I have one on monday on ecg and blood pressure. Which comes with 16 pages of notes and has me confused already. I have a 4 hour gap between lectures on mon though so i think i will be reading about it then in the hope it all fits into place. One on microscopes that doesn't look like its going to be any more complex then at a-level. And a trip to the zoo! The zoo trip is 25% of our mark for that module, which makes it a little daunting, but still exciting! We don't get to find out what the practical is until monday, but it is something along the lines of classifcation and evolution.
Did you know its legal to keep primates in england. You need a permit but its still legal. Does that not strike people as odd? Cruel rather? How can we allow people to keep primates, considering all primates are threatened in the wild. You cannot provide a primate with a natural exsistance in a home. They are unpredictable, dangerous and social. They need interaction with others of the sae species. Grrr. i really didn't think it was still legal. I just assumed that the UK was more intelligent than that, apparently not!

Date: 2008-10-10 09:30 pm (UTC)*blinks* I can't believe keeping primates is legal. That's insane. I can't imagine why anyone would want to, like you said it would be dangerous for a start, never mind the fact that it would be incredibly bad for the animal and... yeah I'm shocked.
