I never needed new jeans, but its the genes that baffle me. After two boring years of cramming insects' multiple names and shapes of babies inside uterus, I should say I have learned a few things: insects suck(some of them literally) and that babies before being born look hideous and perhaps should not be looked at! But among the few interesting things I learned was the fact that a human being is supposed to get half the genes from each parents. This is pretty complicated, but in plain English it means you get to share your traits with your parents. What you get from which parent is entirely up to chance.
See, thats what's been confusing me lately. My kid sister as taken up entirely after my father while the middle one has the good qualities of both my parents. Now, if chance is supposed to work fairly I would say it has screwed royally because I am left with undesirable characteristics of not one but both of my parents! You see, like my mom, I avoid starting anything new, and like my dad, I get too distracted too finish anything that I start. No wonder my life's a mess!
But that's not all. There were plenty of genes I missed which could have changed my life. For instance, I am told that my dad in his youth was quite a Casanova, and even though I could see that these accounts are greatly exaggerated, I couldn't help notice the envy his friends still harbor. Its cruel of destiny to make me mis all the fun I could have had!
My mother is one of the most stubborn person I have ever encountered, and even though it has certain drawbacks, I sure do need that quality right now. Its long list of traits that I should have had but don't. Its not that I am complaining;surprisingly, it's my dad who's more worried about my apparent lack of libido. I am pretty sure if he was any more "open minded" he'd have suspected me of being gay. Now that I come to think of it, I am afraid he already does! Boy, that's explain some of his last lectures!!
It's weird how much of blame you can shift to genes. I think that's why genetics was invented in the first place. It takes quite some skill to sound convincing while shifting blame for your lethargy, but you have to give it a try. Maybe that's the reason they say knowledge is power: it gives you the ability to hoodwink those who are ignorant. Too bad it rarely works on parents though.
Pretty soon college's gonna start-for the forth time in a row!! Final year is supposed to be so many things that I am sure it's gonna be just as boring as the previous years.
I gotta go make the promises which I make to myself at the start of every semester: promises that i know I am going to break. So see you later.
Ciao
