I am looking for my chill pills. Perhaps I ran out? Right now they would come in handy when you are facing something like 40 diseases and what feels like 100 enzyme deficiencies to learn for ONE subject in the next 10 days. Oh biochemistry... What have I done to you that you must torture me like this?
Haven't posted for a while - simply couldn't find time. When I did have time I wanted to sleep because I have been so deprived of it haha... medical school... only for those who are crazy. Biochemistry actually is very interesting and I am liking every bit of it. We learned about disorders in Heme metabolism, Purine/Pyrimidine metabolism, and Amino Acid metabolism - a lot of manifestations that we see in those patients are starting to make sense to me! But then... I get sad when I look at the long list of diseases and their causes that I have to memorize... yeeeesh.
We also started renal physiology today. That wasn't bad either. But I must force myself to get off the computer and go study now... Will write more soon! Hope everyone is doing well :)
ps. That is my kitty Miho in the photo. Isn't he handsome?
Miho is HUGE! He looks like a -panther!!-
ReplyDeleteThings are well here for me - I got just a tiny bit sick. H1N1 is starting to go around on the news again. Numbers are so small, but people are getting nervous all the same. Oh yeah! My Ange and my NYC trip was great~! Just really short. We saw a play with Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Daniel Craig (James Bond).
They are in a play?? I had no idea. Well I guess I am quite detached from most of the current events these days. Sigh... sad sad medical student life ;)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you around Christmas!
