Thouhg I did email in the first peice of work yesterday, so hopeully he will be ok with that...


gah! hate deadlines lol

[PixieHope.]

I have so much work to do :(
I can't believe I only have three weeks until Christmas... the year is going way too fast.

[shadow-light]

3 weeks??? you stop for christmas in the first week of december?


I have another 5 weeks

[PixieHope.]

The second week.. haha so that makes it four weeks.
Maths isn't my strong point!

[shadow-light]

my term ends on the 18th

[Lemons!]

Sounds like a rather stressful time for everyone right now... Hope it gets better for you lot and just think about that awesome feeling once you've handed in all your stuff and know you don't have to worry about it anymore!

I'm feeling pretty good about uni this year... Last year was rubbish as I missed 80% of my lectures and only just managed to pass... I wasn't feeling well at all, let's put it that way. But I'm up for a new start this year and so far things are going great! I even discovered that I absolutely love photography, even though I only took it as a side subject because I had to last year.

Anyone in need of motivation? I'll try as hard as I can! :D

[PixieHope.]

I'm getting there, slowly. I've made a plan for what I have to do everyday this week and I'm putting a copy on my door so my housemates can see how I'm doing and motivate me, they are good at that!

I've finally found a journal article after battling for ages on the uni website lol.

Yar, how's everyone else doing?

[shadow-light]

I think I really really need motivation... badly...

got sent home today when I had a breakdown in a lecture :(
and got a lab tomorrow :/

though did manage to write 3 lab reports yesterday... so maybe just haviing an off day lol

[Lemons!]

^^ Sounds like it... I'd be shattered to be honest. Maybe you should just make the most of today and get some well deserved rest - then I'm sure tomorrow will be better.

[PixieHope.]

Yeah, perhaps do something relaxing for the rest of the day, get an early night and tomorrow you'll be ready for lab.

[Aphelion]

Oh labs, how I hate thou. I have a wonderful day on Thursday. 6 hour lab and then a 5-6 PM lecture to top it all off. Lab reports are evil as well. Yes. Not very optimistic about any of it at the moment.

[shadow-light]

all day labs suck... on thurday I hae one lab from 8.30 until 6!!! (though granted we do get a long lunch break to compensate lol)

[archer one]

I have my practical OSCE tomorrow and then i'm in placement next Monday. Somehow it seems too quick

[shadow-light]

noone happens to know how Lipid-regulators (i.e. Simvastatin) work do they? Writting a report on the potential treatments of angiinas but can't seem to find out in any text book how these function :hmm:

[RemoteControl]

far too many deadlines at the moment - got 3 assignments due in on the same week.

All statins act by inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the HMG-CoA reductase pathway, the metabolic pathway responsible for the endogenous production of cholesterol. Statins are more effective than other lipid-regulating drugs at lowering LDL-cholesterol concentration but they are less effective than the fibrates in reducing triglyceride concentration.
The drug is in the form of an inactive lactone that is hydrolyzed after ingestion to produce the active agent.

Get Rang and Dale's Pharmacology. They have everything you need to know about modes of action of different drugs.

[RainbowsAndButterflies]

I need to see my dissertation supervisor to see if he can give me a pep talk or something. I've hit a brickwall and can't seem to progress with it. Le sigh.
