As of today, I'm finally done with the two group projects that have been keeping me busy for weeks. All that leaves is the end-of-module assignment (EMA) and the exam, both happening in mid-to-late April. I haven't done anything for either of them yet. I cannot wait until May, when I'll finally get a break from uni. I haven't had a real break since ( Read more... )

Got it a few days ago: pass with merit on that medicinal chemistry course I took earlier this year. No word yet on either one of the first assignments for the courses I'm taking now. After handing in the last bit of work due before the holidays I'm taking the day off today. I had plenty of stuff planned for today, but I'm finding myself lazing ( Read more... )

The S807 exam is finally behind me and the exhaustion from the trip and the exam itself is fading. I wish I could just relax now for a few weeks, but alas no. I have two and a half weeks worth of material to catch up with on two seperate courses. Additionally, I'm thinking about doing NaNoWriMo this year. I know I don't really have the time, but ( Read more... )

Parentals are back home and things are settling into their usual routine. There is a little too much drama going on for my taste, but that's normal, too. It was a good to have a break for a little over a week. Helped me recharge my batteries ( Read more... )

It took a while, but TPTB have finally provided some more precise instruction regarding the poster presentation we have to do for our next assignment. I even managed to get some feedback on my plan/proposal. I'm mostly done with the revision based on said feedback and while I'm still fine-tuning my new outline, I have gotten started on an early ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't exactly say it, but I sure was thinking it when I was working on the 'cancer' assignment for my current course! However, it sure got worse with the neuropharmacology assignment (we can chose either depression, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's as a topic for the assignment). It's not that it's so difficult (or if it is, nobody knows for ( Read more... )

The next uni assignment for my S807 course is due in a week it is turning out to be the assignment from hell :-/ First of all, none of the questions have any bearing on the material we've studied for this topic (anti-cancer drugs), they are all on completely different aspects of this rather vast topic. To be fair, there are a whole lot of reading ( Read more... )

Made the deadline yesterday with just under over an hour to spare. But man was I exhausted after that. Matter of fact, I still feell exhausted and stressed. It always takes me a while to relax after something stressfull, but I'm glad I managed to get at least a few hours sleep without having to drag out to big guns (in the form of stronger meds ( Read more... )

The parentals finally left on their long-planned vacation to the Czech Republic this morning. Originally, the plan was to leave yesterday and while they initially did leave (by car), they came back less than two hours later on foot. Turns out they had barely gotten to the next village over when the car had a flat (and of course they had no spare ( Read more... )

An update at long last. Somehow, I find myself updating my other journal more frequently than this one, probabhly because my fannish and internet life makes for more interesting writing than rl. Family life also isn't without its dramatics, especially since Sis is currently here. We just don't get along, she is very spontaneous and rather impulsive ( Read more... )
