24th May, 2011. Day one.


Imagine your first day of school. Imagine the overwhelming excitement and fear. Imagine being engulfed and fueled by a giant ball of energy in whatever you did.

Imagine this day now transcending into the life of a twenty year old.

Somewhere along the fifteen year break, being pushed into getting back to education in the middle of summer has caused me to not feel any of the aforementioned. I do not know why I opted for iGEM. A course to rip apart my two and a half month summer break? Yes, sure. Why not? The first day felt painful. We did some research on Synthetic Biology. Somewhere along the day, the fact that every single living organism is a bloody fantastic design of nature struck me. My vaguely unexplainable curiosity in Biology was re-established. This made things easier.
