Just a note to people if you're wondering why I'm not replying to most of my mails: I'm trying to get into university to start stydying cellular biology (so I'm applying to biochemistry and biotechnology). Their entrance exams are next wednesday, so I'm trying to use most of my time left to study for them (and also do some work..). I don't know much about the subject, so I really need to study for them. :) Then again, if I don't pass, my fallback plan is to go in via computer science and try again next year. Hopefully they allow taking the same bio-classes even if it's not my major. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Your acceptance into biochemistry would be a great loss for computer science. But I figure that you will find the cure for cancer. Good luck!

Will see in 4 weeks :) Now I'll just have to get rid of all the things at work that I've been delaying.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
