I bet you all have missed me. Hah. That's what I would like to think anyways. But yes! Here I am, back again after disappearing into thin air and wiped off the face of earth (or blog) due to the stressful tests I had after the second half of sem commenced two weeks ago. So let's back track the last few days of my life.

Not too long ago, had my first Physiology test. We were all anticipating a hellish test after Anuj dropped a large hint that a lot, a lot of people will get desperately depressed after the first test.. and so a lot and a lot of people were going all way to cover 75% of the course for the test that was worth a mere 15%. What we anticipated...we got. The test was challenging and I spent the first few minutes and pages overcoming my nervousness and panic. Thing was, the questions started of with Marie Ward's Sympathetic lectures and my mind was set to complete Paul Donaldson's Kidney lectures, like the way I prepared for it and the way the lecture series went...so yeah, when the test started off with baroreceptors and Mean Arterial Pressure..let's just say I wasn't ready for it and my brain just jammed. Wasn't until I came to LeGrice's Cardio questions that I finally overcame my bearings and the momentum took off from there. Was glad that some repeated questions came out. So yes, I took that for granted and just circled the answer I answered in the past paper. So yes again, if I misread a question..too bad. But there were also some random questions too..which I simply guessed, or tembak is what we all used to call it back in SA. Note to Cam: search for the protein Calsquine? Can't even remember the spelling. Oh well. Apparently the past rate for this paper was 40% last year...so this year? Hmmm.....

Yes, physio has been keeping my stressed and am finally letting loose now. The feeling is damn good. Got back my anatomy and bio results and whilst they aren't impressive, they're not particularly depressive as well. And so the weekend will be used to catch up on work piled up high. Have my ECG lab report to write up, Chamley's reproductive anatomy on the breast, male tract and placenta to read up, Education assignment to ponder about.. and work on Sunday.

Note to all new shavers: Shave101, always shave against the direction of hair growth. Easier that way. I don't know why, but apparently guys like Mike shave in the direction of hair growth...poor dude, he had to literally shave both his medial and lateral sides of his leg raw to entertain our ECG recordings. I really am reconsidering my major AGAIN. I love the heart. Colin Quilter is making me rethink. I love his lectures. But will his enthusiasm and charm be big enough a factor for me to go from repro to cardio? I haven't even been exposed to that much of neuro yet..and I'm having a hard time choosing...
