Repatriated turnip.
Took the exam, now waiting for the results. I should know early next week. If I find out I've failed, I shall tweet thusly "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again", whereas if I pass, it will say "WHICH ONE OF YOU BITCHES WANTS TO DANCE!!".
The exam itself was exhausting and tedious and for most of it felt like ice floe jumping in the dark. I sat for 5,5 hours of the 7 we had available. I really REALLY hope I don't have to do it all over again. I have no idea what my chances of passing are. I need 50%, 50%!
I'm a bit annoyed I didn't really get any use from my hand crafted mnemnnmnmnmnmnonics. For instance, if you ever need to recall the non-polar amino acids you simply say "Alan Trypped over the Fence. Probably Glad he Met Leuk. IsoLeuk has Valium.*" Catchy huh?
A new course started today - Embryology. The course is short and sweet and the exam is one week from today, and it covers the development from fertilization to approx week 10 in the life of the embryo. Super interesting stuff, but the energy is lacking somewhat. Need to kick back in to cramming mode somehow, but thoughts of the chemistry exam and Christmas plans are distracting. I just want to go out and play in the snow to be honest.
*In Swedish, can't be arsed look up the English translations - Alanin, Tryptofan, Fenylalanin, Prolin, Glycin, Metionin, Leucin, Isoleucin, Valin
