More chemicals...

Lots of endocrinology. So many chemicals. Awkward picture which I will not talk about. Studying is draining my energy...

Am alive.

Test was pretty tough. 110 questions long, some very pinpoint. Not sure what to think of this one. Other than that, we're right back up to classes and Self Directed Learning.

Test on Monday

Sorry I missed you guys a lot. Been studying, focusing, studying again. The nutrition SDLs aren't so bad to remember, except for one where the note set was 17 pages long and read (looked like, too) a textbook.

Basically, the topics we learned in this half of the course:

Nutrition
Vitamins and Minerals
Pathways
Amino Acid Precursors
Diabetes

Brain Drain!

Pathways are weight-heavy. These nutrition lectures make it a lot more stomachable, but it feels like I'm somewhat stuck in a rut trying to memorize everything. Will go back and learn individual pathway lectures again.

Had a mili-med Pathways on Monday. Have a DO school today.

Diabetes Patient Panel

Today was a nice lecture on diabetes with a patient panel. We have fewer and fewer lecture and more and more SDL for this class, so a lot of it is spent listening to online lectures which take up a lot more time than a normal lecture would. However, topics are varied and the SDL is very interactive and easy to use, allowing for easy transitions and portability. You can in effect, stop working on campus and immediately pick up at home if you so desire.

Back from the Weekend!

Studying a lot this weekend. Managed to memorize pathways using mnemonics and other strategies, am steadily catching up. Today's lecture switched to fatty acid synthesis. Much heavier material that will require a few hours of rereading to handle. Test is in exactly 1 week. We also get to review our exams to see what we did wrong today during a separate session. Definitely going to attend those.

It's mah dorm!

Visited the dorm area of GT yesterday. Good times. Remember it from NYLF a paltry 8(?) years ago.

Anyways, finished up with all the pathways today. Gotta memorize them and I'll be good for the most part. More nutrition is inbound.
