Biology and Maggots are regarded highly as bad ju ju!!!

I couldn't sleep because of it last night. And this morning I struggled to hold my breakfast down. It is the one week in my planner that I dread... biology EMPA week. A week of practical investigations and experiments. I have literally just completed tweezering of maggots and putting them in a maze of paper against their will to see if they turn left or right.

 Is this due to chance or is their a biological explanation for it? Maybe one side of the maggot is heavier and the other longer so it always turns left and can't really help it. Maybe the only one that turned right was thinking as he chose his path, "You can sod this, I am sticking it to the man and going right!" Maybe the one that stayed very still at point X was thinking, "She isn't getting any results from me! I am staying right were i am!" and maybe the one that started climbing up the barrier was not thinking of escaping but thinking of scaring the living daylights out of me!!! I am telling you...bad ju ju!

The thing that I don't get is, surely college should be preparing us for living in the real world. For those that are choosing not to go to university and are going straight into work how is knowing which way a maggot turns in a maze going to benefit us, unless in our future flat we get a infestation and upon trying to catch the little blighters put a tub towards the left which all of them, should crawl into!!!

Waste of my time!
