Glass gem corn makes a huge splash on the internet

These ears of corn, grown from seeds readily available online, are a great way to teach Mendelian genetics, and also to study transposons, genetic “jumping” elements which have garnered researchers a Nobel Prize. But mostly, they’re just stunningly gorgeous. Read the full story here.

As I pull your hair across your back to expose your bare neck,

As I kiss it, Softly… Gently…

As my hands run around your waist and onto your stomach,

As my chest presses up against you back,

As your head tilts to expose more skin,

As I feel your eyes close… Your mind clear…

As we stand there together in this moment,

That is when I know you are at your most vulnerable,

And that is when I hold you safe…

Losing my report as I was about to turn it in last week has really fucked me up. After already having two pieces of work outstanding this has made it so much more difficult. I have until thw 18th May to finish all three pieces as well as revise for all 6 of my exams. i have attended about 1/6 of my lectures this year and 4/6 exams have a 50% MCQ section. How the hell am I going to revise for 6 essay question exams AND review all of the course content in time!

I’ve fucked it all up. The report is just one thing too much. It has really blown the wind out of me. I’ve tried so hard and it just won’t happen. i can’t sleep because I’m worried and I can’t stop worrying at the moment. I keep making the wrong decisions and although they’re only small things at the moment I’m gonna reach a point where I make a big wrong decision.

I don’t know what I’m doing. I have a plan until Sunday (I’ve already fallen behind on it and today was the first day) but I don’t know where I’m gonna go from there. There’s just too much and i don’t know what to do.

I can’t focus… That report. THAT report has broken me a little bit. I worked so hard for nothing. I know I should forget about it but I can’t. That report was the beginning of the end and now it’s nothing/everything.

This degree is my escape. So much rides on the next few weeks. Too much rides on the net few weeks

Early Stages of Bipolar Disorder
When bipolar disorder first appears, it is very difficult to diagnose.  People naturally cycle through moods and in the earliest stages, people with bipolar disorder will cycle lightly- barely mania and barely depression (compared to what they will later experience).  Particularly hypomania is difficult to diagnose or recognize as a problem, as it may just seem like the person is particularly happy, productive, and energetic.  At the very beginning, individuals are more likely to experience major depressive episodes, and if they seek help for it, they will be diagnosed with depression.  It is also important to note that depression is much more likely to be viewed as a problem than mania socially as it is a more negative emotion, even though both and their combination can be very difficult to live with and cause many problems.  Furthermore, it is not unlikely for a person with bipolar disorder to have received treatment for depression, especially when their first few major depressive episodes first appear in the teenage years.
Eventually, the individual will experience a manic episode that if reported and recognized can lead to the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.  If bipolar disorder continues untreated, the person will experience more cycles into depression and mania that will often increase in frequency and shorten in duration (they begin to go in and out of depression and mania more rapidly).  Please note that I am saying all cases of bipolar disorder present this way, but this is a general overview of the disorder’s development.  I will give EH’s views on their early stages in the next post.

I can hear it in her voice.
She tries to hide it from me,
Protect me from it,
But I can hear it in her voice.

She is alone.
