The Bitter End

Hello Humans! Today in my Conservation Biology course, which I am dubbing as my "Group Therapy for Scientists" course, we talked about Pure Science versus applied. Pure science is all about the traditional way of doing science. You have an experiment with all variables controlled except one, which is your independent variable that you are testing. Applied science is these theories that come from Pure Science, except now applied to something like an ecosystem with multiple variables such as temperature, climate, soil composition, etc. Everyone, except me, in my Conservation Biology course is a Biology major of some sort. They are very conservative in their thinking, where as I am a Physicist and Chemist and quite liberal in my thinking, however I will always have some conservative views due to the way I was raised. But they were all talking about how Pure Science would be meaningless if it was not for applied. At first, when all of my classmates were discussing why applied was better than Pure, and saying that these "Pure Scientists," such as myself, were snobby smart people, I at first felt attacked. I didn't speak out, remembering what my mother told me, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." But then, after a few seconds, I felt relieved that I wasn't someone who believed in applied science. I realized that I will be the one discovering new things, using my Pure Science, that these pseudo scientists will be needing to apply to their models to make them full of even more nonsense. I will be their boss. Their nonsense will depend on my discoveries via Pure Science.

I thank the Universe for helping me with one of my goals for 2018, which is to use other's comments that would normally make me angry, mad, or defensive, and instead use them for bettering and building myself up to be the best version of me possible. This experience from earlier today has helped me come to realize my real, true self in it's best form. Sticking true to what I know to be true, while letting everyone else hold their opinions, even if their opinions are wrong and not supported by any evidence. I am a Queen, a Goddess, nobody can deter me from my goals. I am normally a very calming and moving force, but if you dare touch me or something I love with all of my soul, you'd better run.

And yes, I am quite the snobby smart Pure Scientist, but hey, it's gotten me this far in life. I like the song, "The Bitter End," by the Slydigs. It describes me quite well. "I was born a question. I was born a fire. I'm like an infection, feeding on the depths of your mind. I will never kneel. I will never beg. I will only steal, like Robin Hood I sleep when I'm dead. Paint your soul black and gold. Open your mind to behold. Paint their lies in front of your eyes. Kill those who criticize. Dare to love, dare to hate. Couldn't have jumped out the fire escape. Well, I'm not here to pretend. You know I'm gonna fight till the Bitter End. I love to voodoo and I love to Krishna. But they'res nothing they could do. They said 'good luck boy, we're gonna miss you.' Paint your soul black and gold. Open your mind to behold. Paint their lies in front of your eyes. Kill those who criticize. Dare to love, dare to hate. Couldn't have jumped out the fire escape. Well, I'm not here to pretend. You know I'm gonna fight till the Bitter End. This is your Captain calling. This is the breaking sound. This is your final call. Abandon Ship, we're going down. This is your Captain calling. This is the breaking sound. This is your final call. Abandon Ship, we're going down. Paint your soul black and gold. Open your mind to behold. Paint their lies in front of your eyes. Kill those who criticize. Dare to love, dare to hate. Couldn't have jumped out the fire escape. Well, I'm not here to pretend. You know I'm gonna fight till the Bitter End."

Stay wild, flower child.
