Well, the first battle is over. I'm a quarter of the way through the semester and I have achieved fairly good grades through a series of miracles. Here are some areas I still need to work on:
1. Turning reports in on time. (Phys Lab)
2. Making papers longer (Phys Lab + Science Writing)
3. More studying before tests (Physics, and probably Genetics too)
Now I'm going to delve into teratomas for my paper due next friday. Although teratomas are super awesome cool, some of the information on them is neither easy to read or easy to get a hold of. Oh yeah, the Armawhatzit chirgiwhatever was actually written by a second guy with the same name, Johannes Sceltetus. The Johannes Sceltetus who was the first doctor to document a teratoma wrote a paper called Trichiasis Admiranda, which means "The Amazing Hairy Monster." Unfortunately it is in Latin, there's no translation, and there are only ten copies in existence, most of which are kept in Paris. America has two: One is in Harvard and one is in the National Library of Medicine in Maryland, so it doesn't look like I'll be getting a gander at it any time soon.

You could try an interlibrary loan.
ReplyDeleteFrom where, Luke? Harvard? Besides, it's in Latin. And I'm sure it's not written with easy first/second semester Latin words and grammar.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't know what teratomas are, and even in your previous blog post, entitled "Teratomas," you didn't explain. Argh! Will someone tell me what teratomas are?
Tumors, and I'm sure Duncan's such a Latin stud that he could translate the book to English.
