motivating myself to write my paper about fungi by talking about fungi:
in Tokyo in 2010, scientists wanted to test the limits of 'brainless' organisms, especially their decision making skills, so they made a little obstacle course in a Petri dish and sent a slime mold to navigate it. they set it up with light and oats, the oats acting as goals and the lights acting as deterrents. the oats were placed in such a way that represented the major train stations in Tokyo. in LESS THAN TWO DAYS, the slime mold had perfectly navigated the obstacle course and hit all the oat stations. when the scientists compared the Petri dish patterns to the city, they noticed that the slime mold had perfectly replicated the train lines of Tokyo. in the most efficient way possible. a task which took humans FIVE YEARS to plan, design and build. slime molds do not have nervous systems, brains, or (as it was previously believed) the ability to form complex thoughts. however, these molds were able to design this system quicker and more efficiently than humans ver have. they were even able to create a path for the shortest route through an IKEA.
the whole concept that organisms other than humans are unable to make decisions or solve complex problems is incredibly outdated and should have been disproven years ago when the Great Chain of Being was first challenged, but these ideas have stuck around for hundreds of years and are only now beginning to be opposed. for years, people thought that organisms like octopi could be tested on in labs because they were unable to feel pain or form thoughts, but only now is it being discovered that octopi have huge brains and are capable of numerous skills, they can recognize people and miss them, and they have the same or even better understanding of the world around them than humans. every other organisms' intelligence has been measured against humans for so long, that the idea that other creatures may have a different way of processing information is something completely unheard of.
in conclusion: brainless fungi and molds are redefining what humans believe to be 'intelligence' by exhibiting amazing navigation of obstacle courses, problem-solving and decision-making skills.

The truth about (dormitory) girls
As someone who's used to keeping her space a bit cluttered but clean, I'm horrified by the condition of some of the rooms. Mainly, the public ones.
My dormitory room can be called clean, but even that is relative. The air conditioning unit smells weird, and a lot of stuff is black with dust that's never been cleaned. Even my bed was dirty when I moved in, so I had to scrub everything down.
The 'kitchen' area is mostly fine because of 2 cameras that overlook the room, but even there are a few problems — the sink is constantly full of food waste, and there are several questionable stains on the counters.
The worst room, in my opinion, is the shower room. Some of the doors are broken, so it's impossible to use some of the showers, and that's OK when the dormitory is mostly empty. But that's not the biggest problem.
The mould is the main issue. It's almost everywhere, almost as if it's never cleaned. On the doors, near the ceiling... Even big clumps of hair don't give me the creeps, but the mould... I'm not an expert, but I really hope it's not going to affect me long-term.
The girls here don't seem to know how clean up after themselves, including flushing the toilets. If we didn't have cleaners coming every morning, I think the dormitory would be full of trash and human waste. I've never been as thankful to them as I am now. If I could open a shrine to them, I would.
Mold and Wilt the two saddest clowns in town!
