Oh no. I have fallen ill. For the first time, however, I am able to identify what is wrong with me. As usual, it is most likely a rhinovirus. Okay, that didn't help much. All I can do is wait it out.

Probably contracted it from my brother.

This is so not fun.

What was fun, was the Singapore Science & Engineering Fair that I attended yesterday. I listened to people talk a lot about their projects, most of which I was quite unfamiliar with. The theoretical physics projects just blew over my head, and I could only struggle to understand the experimental physics projects. At a very basic level.

The biology ones I definitely did better at appreciating. I didn't have to replace any jargon with "thingy" and "stuff". Still, it made me realise how much more there is for me to discover. Made me realise how little I've actually learned so far, and how inarticulate I actually was with the biology terms when speaking. It's not like I don't know these words, it's just that I don't ever use them outside of writing.

Or maybe I just have a problem with public speaking.

Thankfully, the people eventually understood what I was trying to say, and I ended up even talking to one of the mentors regarding the stratification of the epidermis.

I should probably have gone and taken a look at more of the projects. Still, I'm glad that I went.
