A Biochemical statement

David asked me to help him with his personal statement; he's planning to apply for Biochemistry in the autumn and mean time wants to look out for any summer jobs in that area. David is full of enthusiasm for the subject but needed a bit of assistance in expressing this, so we spent hours (and by that I mean about three full hours) researching Biochemistry and matching it to David's experiences and skills. It was exhausting for both of us! David found my ideas hilarious in their stupidity but at least they inspired him to come up with some better ones of his own. When it was nearly finished I asked James to come through (he had closeted himself in the study to catalogue his photos) to take at look at it and add some suggestions. He politely pointed out that he had no experience of Biochemistry which left me (almost) speechless with indignation. "Neither have I!" I replied through clenched teeth. Anyway Davie now has a working personal statement which can be adjusted and refined as he gains more experience.
