Tadaaah!

Well Well Well  , never thought we'd get here Blog, but its our last session toghether...I feel so lonely, who else is gonna listen patiently to my complaints about Chemistry , studying etc . Fair enough , you never really gave me any feedback or advice, but that was always ok for some reason, your reassuring silences left me free to look deep inside myself and come up with my own solutions to my problems , THANK YOU  ! ....ee hee just kidding :)

On a serious note, This is the last blog entry ! At first I really must say I was super uncomfortable with the whole situation of writing blogs in the public domain, but now there not so bad....gone for ever are the moments midweek , usually on a Wednesday for some reason, when i Think to myself " **** i have to write  a ******* blog !! " But  recently its more like " yaaay i can write about this in my blog !

Exams started on Friday, needless to say they were disastrous ! I got so nervous about my Cell Biology practical that I totally messed up and my results were less than perfect . Must do better in the theory side of things so that hopefully i come out with at least a pass! Gone are the days when I strived for 90's in every test I do . These days I'm proud of myself if I even get a marginal pass, just goes to show how tough times really change your priorities ! The horrible start to the day was balanced out by the fact that C.I.T closed early on friday due to the freezing weather conditions. Ironically, we were finished at one o clock already so it make no difference to us whatsover ...but I hope it happens in the future anyways, perhaps for one of our assesments maybe ?? ....In reality , the weather is after getting milder since last week so gone is all the winter wonderland scenes we had , walking to college every morning was beautiful! But SUPER DANGEROUS! Had a few close calls a few times!

This is a lil snap I took of Fitzgerlads park as I passed by on the way to U.C.C , had to admit , I was DYING to get inide and play like a child , stupid maturity holding me back :(

So for now , It's goodbye ! Who knows, after this first blog I might dive deeper into the world of blogs , vlogs etc ! Well , maybe not , but it certainly was an experience , ill never forget..GOODBYE!!

last blog entry!

Well its over, the internet will no longer be made put up with my little ranted!
It's been good while it lasted , but all great things must come to an end!

Friday marked the 1st day of our end of semester exams and i must say i did not start on a high! Although the theory went well for some reason unknown to myself the actual practical was disastrous!! My positive control for glucose was muddy orange for crying out loud!!! I have no idea what happened! safe to say i'll be relying on the other exams to bring up my average for the module!!

I should be studying right now but all i can think about is how im getting my christmas tree later :D :D :D Cannot wait!!

Also, i'm really paranoid about driving to work later, and especially driving home! the roads are like ice rinks! i mean i skidded 4 times in about 2 minutes last night on my way home from work, haven't been out since!
Also, i can just imagine myself missing some of my exams because of the weather! i really hope there are repeats because i do not want to fail any modules!!!!! Its crazy!

Anyway, this is goodbye

Last blog entry!

 I neva thought i'd see the day when i would be writing the last ever blog for CMOD wooooo(jus jokin)! At the beginning, i have to say i hated writing these blogs but they get really easy to do when you get used to them!
  Next week is full of exams aaaaaaaaaaah. Dreading them now especially cell biology because theres so much to do. Had the cell biology practical Friday, managed to spill everything but other than that it was ok i think! We had to test samples for proteins, fats, starch and reducing sugars.....



  Christmas holidays Thursday woo cant wait! CIT closed at one o clock on friday....... the one time we are actually finished before then.  I cant belive I've been in college only 3 months... so used to college now it feels longer! Have to say I'm loving the course wasnt sure about it at the beginning especially with all the maths and Physics which I still cant do. Cant wait for human biology to start then it will actually feel like wer doing a biology related course!

K I'm gonna go now and actually do something for these exams byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! KatexX



Decided to take a quick break from studying to have an old moan really. It's strange to see how natural this whole blogging business has become . At the start of this module, I would stare for what seemed like hours at the screen trying to decide what to write, wheareas now it feels natural to think " oh i should write about that on my blog " when anything remotely exciting happens ....which isn't often thanks to our jam packed time table!
     Anywho , back to the studying. Next week we've got exams every single day up untill thursday , then its finished for Christmas ! Some sort of event will have to be organsied for us, a well deserved end to a tough oul term in my opinion. Im currently in the middle of studying for both Chemistry and Cell Biology tests, simoultaneously, which I'm not sure is a great idea ? Interesting turn of events ; I now seem to prefer studying Chemistry than Cell Biology! I never thought I'd see the day as Chemistry really got me down in the first few weeks of term , but recently I'm finding it rather interesting as studying the topics is all new and exciting ....well, exciting is a bit of an overstatement, lets just stick to interesting. Cell biology seems boring and monotonous in comparison....
         Am finding it quite hard to get into the studying for cell Biology but hopefully I'll stick it out. I'm easily distracted however , and Facebook is the biggest culprit ! I need a bit of will power to get me through these next few days let me tell you ! As luck would have it , all social events seem to be happening this weekend but I'm going to have to give them a skip , for my own sake :( :( The boyfriend will have to be neglected for a little while aswell, but I'm sure he'll live!
       When I was scanning the internet, besides Facebook that is  , I was looking for useful sites to help a little bit. Came accross this gem and it seems to be helping , slightly....

all from me anyways! back to studying :( tirrah!

Roll on the Holz!!!

Hello woooooooooooo getting christmas holidays next week so excited. The one bad thing about going to two colleges is that we dont get seriously long holidays. While cit get the month off for january we have to go to ucc lectures.... but hey 8 hours a week for the month of January partay time every night wooo!



Before all that we have to get over the exams, a thing i thought you would never have to do in college..... but you do have to do exams ALOT of them aaaah! i should seriously start studying but i think i'll worry about that next week! i'll probably end up looking like this guy though...



Omg its sooo cold here at the moment. It was snowing on Monday....some serious snow fights were happening woooo! k im gonna go now byeeeeeeeeeeeee

PAAAART AAAAAAA !! :p (GETTIT)

Weeeel as promised , had to get up pictures of the Class party , was a great laugh :) Everybody mixed well and thankfully there was no awkwardness between the various groups in the class, we're an easy going bunch :) Unfortuntately , we arrived to the party expecting free pizza and vodka jello shots ( a must have at any college class party ) but stupid Biochem Heads stole them all before we got a foot in the door ! Outrageous !

Who says scientists can't have fun eeh? I might explain the crazy look on my face aswell....I passed the dreaded Chemistry test with flying colours!! I was absolutely gobsmacked as I had really no clue what to expect ! It really was worth staying up all those nights, nothing beats the satisfaction of achieving something you worked hard for. After we recieved the results I had this look plastered on my face for the enitre class party, and well into the weekend I;m happy to report !

The following morning it was safe to say that our clas wasn't the most alert in our 9 o clock Cell Biology lab ! It wasn't the most demanding lab we've ever done so at least I was able to follow most of what was going on , despite my poor sore head , (all self inflicted , which apparently gets no sympathy , well according to my mother anyways :( ) Despite the groggy head , I still manage to take a few snaps. We were informed that this lab would be our last before the dreaded Lab Practical so I decided to document this momentous event with my tiny purple camera , which comes everywhere with me these days thanks to C.Mod :) (not complaining by the way , I always promise myself I'll take more photos , now  I have an excuse :)

Well there you have it :) No doubt there'll be a few blogs in the future complaining about the numerous assesments we have approaching in the next week or two ..EEEEK!

Deirdre x

I can never really think of titles.......

Em, I know I haven't been the best blogger, I just never know what to say!!
In person you can't shut me up, but when its just me and my (new snazzy) laptop i draw a blank! This is my 7th time sitting down to write this!

College wise everything seems to be going well, we had out math's exam on Thursday. I think it went OK, but maths was never my strong point, and the negative marking was plus one minus one which is seriously tough!

Also on Thursday was the epicness that is CIT Christmas Day!! Which was so much fun! We had such a rush going from exam mind set straight to party mind set! But i think we did our level best!! Facebook is riddled with groups about CIT christmas, my favourties are....
"the akward moment when a CIT student celebrates Christmas one month early"
and
"the akward moment when a UCC student celebtares CIT Christmas"
We're definately stuck in the middle!!

While I'm talking about CIT Christmas, I just want to say how happy I am to have found such good friends in this course. I can honestly say that I've made some friends for life! If we're this close after only 3 months I can't wait to see what we're like in 4years!!

Class partaaay time!

  Hello this is the first Friday we have had since starting college that we are finished at one wooooooooooooooooo! No more late Fridays, well until February anywayz... We had another class party last night and i have to say us biomeds know how to partay!

  Oh gawd, we have exams and practicals comming up aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Stressfull times ahead but we get our Christmas holidays the week after them so that will keep me going. We started Microbiology labs at the beginning of November and i have to say Mondays lab was torture.... I managed to put the stain all over my books instead of the slides!

K im going to go now the weekend is here woop!

Byee.....KatexX

Breithlá Shona Dom? :)

Well i never thought it would happen , but i'm nineteen eek:P Now i'm really going to have to start acting like a grown up , on the plus side , I can now sucessfully get myself into cubins on a Thursday , ketching ! :)  Unfortunately , I can't spend too much time celebrating , as we have a very busy week this week , Group 3 that is anyways . We have to put the final touches on our presentation and e-portfolio . Would be really nice to get all the project work sorted before the exams , then major relaxism ( definately not a word)  for our two weeks off . To top it all off , our second newsletter has rolled around ! It seems like only yesterday that our first newsletter was being painstakingly prepared :) Hopefully it will all come together , which means not much time for celebrations , but sure I'm a big girl now :)



On a more enthusiastic note , our class party is on tonight . Should be a final chance to let our hair down before we get into another painful bout of assements, practicals etc :) The last one was a great laugh and a chance for everybody to get to know each other in a more relaxed atmosphere :) Here's hoping this one is even better :) Should get a few pics up hopefully , to show a more relaxed side of these biomedical science students :)

Only my 1st injection!

After being sick for the 1st round of hep b vaccines I'm only just after getting my 1st one, and thankfully it was so easy! don't know what everyone was moaning about!!

Well i'm very happy to report that this is my 1st post on my new laptop! it is just the most beautiful laptop ever! super duper sony vaoi, i love it i love it i love it! seriously, its probably worth more than my car!

(in this picture, the dog is better than me!!)

So the main thing thats troubling me at the moment is the physics. i mean seriously! it was been almost 6 years since i did it for junior cert and i just feel like and old dog and these new tricks just aren't sinking in! I've been getting help from a friend of mine who's doing a masters in civil engineering and he just can't get it through to me!! I think i may be a lost cause!!

I know its all everyone's been talking about but this weather is insane!! i honestly thought my car was going to blow away in the wind, i really don't hope there's another flood week! i did not enjoy last year's one!!!!! wet shoes all round :(

Injection time...... again!

  Yup as the title says its time for the second injection for hep B! Its all good though cause i dont care about injections!!



omg this Friday is our last Friday staying in until 5 for this semester wooooooooooooooooooooooo! no more having to rush for buses and more importantly no more chemistry labs woop!! Oh ya went into the new bar at last on campus the other night and got some cocktails(yum).



oh gawd the lecturers are starting to talk about exams already... at least they are not till next month but i'll prob leave everything to last minute which is not good! ok im gonna go now and try that physics homework yuk....

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Well group 3 had a very productive week this week in my opinion ! We finally decided on a topic for our presentation so work will be needed for that soon  ! It was suprisingly easy to decide on a topic , everybody had some ideas but when Soracha suggested our topic I knew it would be really interesting , so we decided as a group to go with that idea :) Watch this space!
        Well got back two of our assesments and I passed them both !! I was absolutely delighted with the results! Maybe I'm not so terrible after all :) Still waiting on the Chemistry results though , really anxious to get them back ! Sooo curious to see how I got on!

         On Wednesday , I headed up to the student march in Dublin . I felt it was really important that the government realise they can't put a price on our future ! .......and it was a day off college, which I felt was deserved ! BUT DON'T WORRY....I got my notes ;) Kate , another member of the fabulous group threee also went up for the march , but in the confusion we never actually got to find each other....in this crowd, could you blame us !?

I was with some other people from the course though! We had a great day out screaming at the government and luckily avoided all the police brutality that apparently went on ! The only down side was that it took us a good six and a half hours to come back from Dublin . This may not seem to bad , but when that includes being stuck with rowdy drunk u.c.c students, it seemed like twelve hours ! I was never so glad to be a (half) C.I.T student :)
We also met up with our mentors Síle Keane and Orla Power this week. The girls were lovely and gave us loads of helpful advice . Orla was especially great , giving us loads of notes and some books from next year . They put our minds at ease and assured us that things are going to get more interesting next semester and even next year, if we make it that is ! Unfortunately , I forgot to get a photograph of the event but we will definately be meeting up again in the future , and I will get a picture up then ! I'm off anyways, x-factor's calling :) Toodles , Deirdre x 

Another week as a biomed student!

This week has been busy as usual.. Got our results back for them exams passed them wooooooooooooop! I went protesting on Wednesday it was so funny and crazy, some laugh on the bus up to Dublin! At one stage i was between the cit and ucc crowd so it was hard trying to shout for both. I forgot to take photos but heres a pic of what was going on.....



 

Oh ya we met our mentors, orla and sile, on Thursday. They are really nice thanks for all the info on the course girlz really helpfull! K have to go now byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Presentation!

Sorry i haven't posted in a while, i have been so busy the last few weeks! Between working 35 hours in 3 days over the jazz weekend, a week full of exams and trying to get everything sorted for work and halloween i've barely had time to breath! but now i can finally take a breath.
We've started work on our presentation recently, and i have to say, i love our topic! its just so very topical, whats more relevant to biomedical students than how alcohol effects the body?! We may be hard working biomeds but we're also students and there's no shying away from the fact that we have active social lives!!
Any way, i just locked myself down in the boole computer lab and hashed out the 1st draft of our presentation! i cant wait to hear the girls' comments and imputs, but if i may say so myself, so far its looking pretty snazzy!! http://prezi.com/presentation/110361179@umail.ucc.ie/gwnx2mk/#14_3207235

Freedom.......

Wooooooooooooooo we finished our exams last Thursday! We r  free well until the 25th of November when we have to do maths aaaaaaaaaaaah! The exams were hard especially with that negative marking  gawd wat a pain... Studying everything the night before does not work. Buuuuuut the thought of all the Halloween parties to come gave me the strenght to get through it ha!

Yup datz me der in the devil horns gawd could not function the day after!!

  But anyway back to the course... For anyone thinking about doing  biomed there is ALOT of physics and maths. They dont tell you that on the open days! I tried doing the physics homework there a while ago but just sat there thinking what the hell is this stuff!



K im gonna go now, have some telly to catch up on! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Katex

Dog days are over!

Well , well , well, I'm delighted to announce that our assesments, lab assesments and assignments are over and done with for a little while! I can't begin to describe the feelings of relief as I put down the pen after my last assesment, Biomedical science intro . I didn't feel great about the actual test however, got no sleep the night before and didn't feel as prepared as I should have. But just the thought of being finished for at least a few weeks was priceless! Can't relax for too long though , have to get another newsletter and portfolio up and running ! Sometimes it seems like this course never stops ! At least it keeps it on our toes I suppose!

Can't complain too much as I got a grand chance to leave my hair down at the weekend as it was Halloween ! Went out on the tiles and forgot all the stress of exams , or assesments as they're called, trying to fool us into thinking they're not that scary ! Saw some dodgy characters out in town , including this certain biomedical science student... exciting bunch we are!

Finally feel like i'm settling into the course now. Its still tough as ever but thankfully I have found people who I can moan with when times get hard ! I better run now , am gonna try keep on top of the studying instead of leaving everything to the last minute, a lesson learned from the assesments! Tirrah!

Busy times!!

Omg wat a week! We have had such a busy week this week, this is the first time that i have had a chance to write this! To start things off we had a lab practical Monday... It was ok got the same experiment as the week before so i still could remember bits of it! When i was looking up a pic to put in here found this one.....



Does anyone remember this cartoon??? used ta always watch this ha!

    Ok on a more biomedical science note, we had another exam on Thursday for chemistry! all i can say is thank gawd i did it for the leaving caus all the notes were really helpfull! We had to do physics homework on line b4 12 o clock last night, totally forgot about that untill yesterday.. Got it done though so its all good!

   Our class partay was Thursday night, what a laugh! Free jelly shots and pizza what more can i say lik!! Oh ya we had no college yesterday. It was our first Friday off in weeks and best of all we have no lab reports to write up for the weekend woooooooooooop!

K im gonna go now have some relaxing to catch up on byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Katexx



Asessment!

It's currently 23.50 on a Wednesday night and that means one thing and one thing only, Chemistry Asessment tomorrow! Im a bundle of nerves as Chemistry is by no means my strong point. Im trying to shorten the entire leaving cert course into 6 weeks worth of learning which isn't fun! Im trying to memorsie so many different equations and theorys that I fear I'm mixing up my Daltons with my Bohr and my lamda's with my frequencies! Speaking of the leaving cert, that's exactly how I feel at the moment. It's like I'm after timetraveling backwards 6 months in time to when I was stressing about the Silly ole Ardteist, now I've got much bigger fish to fry ! I'm nearly getting lost under the mound of paper and books that are in front of me , it's pretty sickening I must say !

Fair Play to all the Albeirt Einstein type character's of old who had to do Chemistry in the old school way , minus calculators and the blessed Wikipedia ! I have all these extra tools a few hundred years down the line and Im just as lost ! The internet is helping though , but it takes years to decipher useful knowlege from all the waffle! Found this video during my search and I must say I had an oul chuckle :) Maybe if I concentrate on memorising this song for the next eight hours instead of learning about the development of the periodic table etc, I might just scrape a pass. Then again , if that plan fails miserably , I can always rely on my fantastic , musical knowlege of the elements to impress at parties , family gatherings etc.......ya right !

Banging Choooon!

1st Lab Practical!!

Well, we just finished our 1st lab practical and I'm very happy to say that my results worked!!!
I was sure I was going to fail when I saw some air bubbles in my p1000 (thats some serious lab talk) but all was well :D I'm an a grade spectrophotomologist, and word maker upper!

This week is only a four day week so we're all a little bit more relaxed, unfortunately we have a chemistry exam on thursday! I can't say i'm too nervous for it though, we haven't done alot of stuff that i haven't seen before, same concepts but now with some fancy names.
Unfortunately our 1st newsletter didn't go down a treat, after lamenating it and everything (Kate is a legend)!
We need less words and more pictures, and here was me thinking it was the other way around, next time we'll be much much better, i promise...

My excuse is that i was out sick most of last week, missed labs and everything! i have a doctors note though, certainly not dossing!!

Lab session depression.

.Thank god it’s Friday ! I’m just about recovered  from the complete mental breakdown i suffered after returning from a horrific day at college! It all started on Thursday evening  to be precise, after enduring the Hep-B vaccine . Now I wouldn’t be a squeamish person in the slightest , but still no person in their right mind would be looking forward to receiving a jab in the arm from the very friendly yet professional cit staff. It wasn’t as bad as I had thought though and left with just a bandage reminding me of the pain endured for science. All was fine until later that evening , when I began to feel nauseaus  and woozy . Bang went my plans to hit the tiles that night and so I found myself in bed at 11.30, feeling quite sorry for myself and quite bitter that I had willingly forked out  58 squid for the privilege of such a feeling, lucky me !

On  the plus side however, I woke up feeling much better  , relaxed and refreshed, ready to take on Friday , which is a stressful day containing two lab sessions and a chemistry lecture mixed in , just for laughs . Our newsletter had been put together by the fantastic  Soracha so was feeling confident about the day that lay ahead, in hindsight , my confidence was most definitely a bit premature!Firstly , I spilled my pasta all the way down my t-shirt at lunch, which gave great entertainment to the surrounding table but meant embarrassment for me for the rest of the day !

  Had stress of all stresses trying to get the newsletter  printed off , as the printer decides to be out of order  ! Then to top it all off I couldn’t quite grasp the calculations for the titration experiment in the Chemistry Practical which meant at five to five , I handed up the finished result, last in the class and I’m 100% positive that my calculations are a disaster !

       As you can see , I had gotten myself into quite a state at this stage and after spending another half an hour in the computer labs with Kate, we still couldn’t quite figure out the newsletter situation. I left college on the brink of tears and arrived home in foul form. After such a bad day I had convinced myself that I am the worst biomedical science student to ever cross the threshold of EITHER UCC or CIT, and that’s saying something ! I realised that I seem to be struggling in every aspect of the course and found myself wondering whether I had make a huge mistake  choosing this course ? As I have mentioned in previous blogs, our team mate and good friend Katie has pulled out of the course as she found immediately that it just wasn’t for her. After the day  I had, I began wondering whether  I should follow in her footsteps or struggle on a bit longer and see if I find my feet. In the depths of despair I did the only thing that seemed logical , I had a bath!

        I steeped in there for a good hour I’d say and emerged clean and wrinkly, with a new perspective on this college buzz. I made a decision that I’m not going to give up until I’m literally escorted from the premises ! It’ll take some hard work and I probably won’t have a very great social life for the next couple of months  but  I think I can do it . Fingers crossed anyways...

Kites fly highest against the wind, not with it.....

Newsletter eek:)

Well tommorrow, tomorrow, tomorow ...ahem , FRIDAY, is the day we have to hand up our completed Newsletter ! Am stressing out about it to be honest but we have divided the work into parts so hopefully it will be manageable enough! It was my job to take care of the article section of the newsletter which led to me spending hours and hours searching the internet for interesting, topical subjects that our "loyal readers" want to read about! It was during this what seemed like endless searching that I happened to come accross this article ..

http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/6935197-toasted-skin-syndrome-to-skin-cancer-from-warm-laptop

Yes, thats right ladies and gentlemen , using your laptop can lead to a disease known as toasted skin syndrome or even skin cancer ! So yes, in order to produce a flawless newsletter I am required to risk my life searching for a story and typing it out in my own particular stlye. And after this, I risk my life yet again to post another top-class blog entry! At least nobody can ever say I'm not dedicated to my course I suppose ! Since I am technically risking my life by even typing my newsletter , I hope that this huge sacrifice on my part doesn't go un-noticed and recieves a good mark ...( major hint there by the way :) )

     On the other hand , I suppose I could be less dramatic and invest in one of these babies for myself....after I all, they do happen to be sold in the very shop that happen to work in :)    

 So after informing you on the EXTENSIVE health risks involved with my decision to publish a newsletter, I'm sure you're just dying to see it! Tough luck , our official posting date isn't untill tomorrow so check back here for a look at THE NEWSLETTER to have .

Hellooooo! We finally started physics labs this week which i was dreading but it actually wasnt that bad. We just dealed with springs and weights for about two and a half hours! The worst part of it though is writing up them reports uuuuuugh so annoying. At least these labs are every second week woop!

Got the Hep B vaccine on Friday. I got some shock when she said the first seven had to go and get it( i was one of the first seven people!)



But it was ok didnt feel a thing! We have a biomedical practical on Monday... so dont wanna do it, the maths are relly tricky for it! Ok i better go get stuff for the newsletter for CMOD byeeeee!

KatexX



Hep B vaccine!

The part i was dreading arrived this morning! During our cell biology lab, Lesley Cotter announced that our hep b vaccinations were ready! And lucky Soracha ENRIGHT Ward was part of the 1st bunch!
I was so nervous in the waiting room of the medical centre, and was one of the lasft to go. Finally got to sit in with the nurse, who finds out i have a fever and cant get the shot, all that worry for nothing! Although now i'm worried why i had a fever and didnt notice, maybe it has something to do with the stabbing pain in my side and back...hmmmm

Safe to say I'm a little bit creeped!

Important Phrase : Time Management

When they said college life was going to be hectic , i must admit i didn't really believe them . How wrong was  I ! My life for the past few weeks has been a blur of lectures, lab reports , working and the odd hypnotist thrown in for good measure:)  Ive been so exhausted lately I barely have the energy to hit the tiles very often , shock horror ! On top of all this , I've decided to add more activities to my diary by joining some clubs :) Started this week off in a kick boxing class of all things ! Was nervous starting as I'd never done it before but it turned out to be some laugh ! Am paying for it now though as I'm hobbling around the place like an aul wan :)

 

Am also planning on going to a few dance classes , so should be interesting seeing how i'm going to juggle everything. Don't stop till you drop i suppose?

                              Everythings falling into place ( well almost ) in regard to lectures and labs etc. Nearly jumped out of my skin when we were told that we have one more biomedical science lab before our practical assement ! I feel like ive only just arrived and Im being tested on skills I may or may not have mastered yet. At least everybody around me feels the same way , it's reassuring when you have worries only to discover the person sitting next to you is freaking out about the exact same thing:)

Hellooooo the fourth week of college is nearly over and i cant remember half of it because it went so fast!





I went out last night so im seriously wrecked today but i think im used to it now! I have finally started to cook proper food so no more chips and pasta.
Physcis labs are starting in a few weeks so thats Wednesday evenings gone. We had biology and chemistry labs Friday. In biology we looked at cheek cells and onion cells. That was kinda good seeing as we did that in secondary school although i nearly fell asleep on the table after thursday night. Going to sleep at half four in the morning is not a good idea when you have labs the next day!

On Monday we had another biomedical lab and i have to say the maths are really tricky in it. There is  actually alot of maths on this course. Im not liking that! Oh ya i went to kickboxing again on Monday evening. Its sooooo fun! At least my legs are not sore after it this week.
