This was unexpected. I knew it was coming but never did I once thought I'd feel this way towards something again. We met on the first day of uni, in building 69-110. I had mixed feelings when everything started but within seconds he blew me away.He showed me the world. He showed me horizons beyond our shorelines. There, that's it. I was persuaded. Whatever he said afterwards just flew by me coz my concentration wasn't on what he was saying anymore. My eyes were glued to the photos of every edible fish around the pacific ocean- heaven. Fisheries, my new love.

Ok, that was an extremely inaccurate description of how I truely felt. The love for fishes has been unrealistically magnified to the power of gazillions. As the lecturer dished out slide after slide of aquaculture power points my brain did an immediate shut down. The trigger factor was probably the 21 pages of notes per lecture that contained no colour nor pictures. Ever had 21 pages full of words per lecture? good luck to me studying. The first week has just passed and I already feel like doing them a favour of overfishing the entire ocean so they'll be left with no seed stock to replenish those brain blasting operations. As attractive as fish slime can be to a fish farmer, I simply don't find the same loving scent out of them. 

I have an indescribable dislike for fishes. What did they do to me you ask? They were the ones that stripped my confidence. Of all days, they had to do it on my mother's birthday. My sister and I prepared our first dinner ever. Pan fried fishes are suppose to be golden. Got that. They're suppose to be the best dish on earth after you drizzle a bit of sweet soyasuace on them. How did ours turn like? They're wolves under sheep skin. It was transparent on the inside! Assholes. Mum refused to touch it at all. Fenella and I felt absolutely pissed off and to show mum that we won't get food poisoning, we took... one bite. And spat it back out.

Second time- we made sure that it was dead 5 times over in that steamer of ours... Sure it was dead, it was chalk white from the inside. Its abdominal muscles flipped out to see us. For sure it's done this time. Fenella and I took one bite after sawing it off its skeletal body... The soy sauce tasted the best. since we couldn't chew threw the rest of that piece of junk that was all that we managed to swallow. Damn it.

so yes, this semester's full of aquaculture lectures. It's going to be awesome. Can't wait til I start to smell and taste like them. We're the very few vet schools internationally that learns about aquaculture. Ok, it's not that bad. Other than dissecting a fish. It does get interesting and providing I can get my mathematic skills up to scratch over the span of this semester, I might actually do some fishery things down the track. Good luck mena. Anyway, back to study... orthopaedic notes. Yay.
