So just how much do you know about microbiology? Nothing? Great that is where I started too, which means we can learn together.
Today, as I sat at my desk in Micro class I pondered what the first Microbiology blog post should be. The possibilities were endless, gram staining, bacteria vs. viruses, but eventually I decided to do a big picture.
What kind of philosophy or working principles should we use.
You and I came to this class with nothing. Yet we began. The key thing is start.
Trying new things is awesome. It is what I am doing now, typing away at this blog post at 8:50 at night. With idealistic goals I started it late last night and typed away at parts throughout the day, but here I am still writing. Microbiology like most things is done in a day. I could argue it isn't even done in a semester. You are always building on past knowledge.
The second key thing is persistence. Cue Melissa breaking into a song like God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. You have to keep going to get to the good stuff. And now I am thinking of While I'm Waiting by George Waller.
Pardon me, while I perform my sold out Carnegie hall concert.
Just kidding. But that does bring me to my next point.
Thirdly, finish it. Don't be a quitter no matter how hard it is.
There. This blog post ended being small word count wise, but heavy with thought. I really just needed to preach some of this to myself today, what with finals coming up in a couple of weeks. These ideas are not contained to Micro though. What else can you apply the Microbiology Philosophy too?
