obligatory finals rap

If I see one more paired end on plasmid strings
if I have to deal with one more amino acid that metabolism brings
if I have drill one more hole to get to a rat's brain
I confirm to you that I just might go insane.

If I have to write one more essay about moral will
if I have to hold one more soft body that I have to kill
if I have to calculate the lod score on one more pedigree
I swear I think I might just flee away from MIT.

I'm tired of going to bed once the sun has risen
I'm sick of being too tired to make a real decision
I don't want to see another Gaussian fit
not even if my tuning curves depend on it.

It's getting old waking up with the same confused dreams
when everything is chemistry and nothing's as it seems
and it takes thirty minutes to convince my mind
I'm not speaking in light of the photosynthetic kind.

Yeah, it's this time of year that I forget my position
and not much can improve my annoyed disposition
because I'm always confused with my head in a daze,
population genetics putting my face in a haze.

So really I think it's about time for these exams to desist
so I can back to my mountains and the peace that I've missed
and quit spending nights in a pergutory of p-sets
struggling to assimilate knowledge my brain never gets.

They demand of you here that you give them your life
I think everyone here's enduring the same kind of strife
but it's about time for a summer vacation
so I can escape this insane fate-driven nation.

So watch citric acid and three factor crosses wash down the drain
until next September when I resume hell again.
