This is the field that I don't mind being a robot

Currently reading a book known as "Theoretical neuroscience -- computational and mathematical modelling of neural systems".. There are great deals of physics -- biophysics here.. you can call it chemistry, or biochemistry, or whatever, but I just feel so satisfied reading the book.

Really, I haven't come across so much technical terms for a while, which means more than 6 years. I don't remember cerebellum means 小腦, and what a pity, I don't even remember what cerebellum's for. It is always stupid to learn things just to prepare for examinations, but strangely, I have been doing exactly that for most of my life (so far, except physics, maybe~~). What a shame.

It is absolutely a challenge to read the book, but I enjoy it as much as EM, GR, QM, since it tells you just as much about yourself and the world around us. As I have no chances of unravelling the secret of the cosmos, and no chances of playing with the strong forces inside nucleus, I bet I would settle for something in between. It is darn eye-opening really. I really wouldn't mind working like a robot, if I can somehow get in this field, for this is something I tag to be "meaningful". Time should be spent in a happy way. And you got to be happy with yourself to have internal peace.

If I got say 550/800 in GRE, I will apply without a second of thought. But the fact is that I could get a score as low as 300. Damn, why didn't you work harder for a higher score?
