Biology...
TGIO!
Can't be bothered ranting again os here; have a chatlog. Courtesy of me and bexx_t_h .
(3:25:54 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: *more death*
(3:26:35 PM) [Bexx]: How'd it go?
(3:26:58 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: I have no idea
(3:27:01 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: I forgot my calculator
(3:27:10 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: so all the percentage things I had ot do form the top of my foggy head
(3:27:28 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: all the things I had studied turned out ot be in the reference book they supplied
(3:27:54 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: the questions seemed ot simple to be true but even as I thought on them more I could not for the life of me think of anything more difficult to make of them so I answered them simply
(3:28:32 PM) [Bexx]: I hate those sorts of exams. lulling you into a false sense of insecurity XD
(3:29:02 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: the statistic questions I'm pretty sure I borked because I fail at them to begin with and then my brain kept going around in circles about the different curves and insisted that the question didn't supply enough info to make a propery drawn curve anyway
(3:29:08 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: so I ended up just making random squiggly lines
(3:30:29 PM) [Bexx]: *chuckles*
(3:30:44 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: and while I can flawlessly summarize all abiotic factors in an ecosystem with all srts of awesome examples and even material that a havo student doesn't even have ot know because I used a vwo website to study from(all of which wasn't asked) I couldn't for the life of me think of any other biotic factors to an ecosystem other than 'predators' which of course WAS asked...
(3:31:15 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: I blew (literally) a whole pack of tissues and another half a pack because my infected finger decided it could no longer hold the infection in
(3:31:47 PM) [Bexx]: >.> ew
(3:32:09 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: and while I can escribe in detail what was happening ot my finger on a microscopic level, that wasn't asked either and in the meantime my brain was still wondering wh ythey didn't just say "the bunny is heterozygous" instead of drawing out bunnies in a fenotype crossbreed.
(3:32:37 PM) [Bexx]: *Chuckle snort* Becuase drawing makes it easier apparenrtyl
(3:32:48 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: so while I cna do genetics and all that in my sleep I hadn o use of it as I still had ot guess at most of the answers there because apparently the exam maker figured pictures would be more useful than y'know.. actual information
(3:33:12 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: and none of the really hard things were asked
(3:33:27 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: like.. which hormone stiulates the contractions of hte uteris and where is it made?
(3:34:13 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: oooor... what's the function of the pancreas and how does it have to do with the glucose values of the blood?
(3:34:26 PM) [Bexx]: Lutinising hormon? I think I remember something from four years ago *_*
(3:34:36 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: oxytocine XD
(3:34:49 PM) [Bexx]: *Chuckles* Or nto
(3:35:08 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: lutinising hormone is for the production of follikels in your overies
(3:35:12 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: before conception :P
(3:35:39 PM) [Bexx]: aha, I knew it had something to with the baby making stuff XD
(3:36:17 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: they didn't ask me what the function of pepsine in your stomach was either or how hemoglibine in your blood is essential for the transportatioon of oxygen.. it didn't ask anything about any of that!
(3:36:32 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: it only asked about ecosystems and populations and behavioristics
(3:36:39 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: and included lots of stupid fictional students
(3:36:48 PM) [Bexx]: *Chuckles* Fictional sutdents, poor things
(3:37:01 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: why in the world would you want to do a test on wheter or not peopel can accurately discern the smell of asperagus piss?!
(3:37:46 PM) [Bexx]: *binks*
(3:37:52 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: shit I should totally make biology exams I would make much more awesome exams than that >.<
(3:37:58 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: frankly I'm disappointed in the exam
(3:38:09 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: I went through all thise trouble studying and for what? >.<
(3:38:38 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: I'm half hoping I was too stoned on drugs and cough drops that I didn't notice the rest of the ACTUAL questions and just got stuck in the example questions...
(3:38:54 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: but I think 47 example questions is a wee bit much
(3:39:13 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: the last two of whihc I swear were pure physics questions... >.<
(3:39:34 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: the wavelengths of the differnet colours of light was NOT in my biology books!
(3:40:56 PM) [Bexx]: o.O Soundsl ike someone got bored making that exam
(3:41:28 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: myeah I was annoyed and tired and running out of tissues so I just botched those two questions as well
(3:41:46 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: and the third to last question was completely ridiculous or I got the question wrong
(3:42:47 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: but thye supplied a bit of information explaining how a certain genetic defect madei t impossible ofr certain peopel to synthesize hemoglobine from proto-somethin or other I don't remember and how it made for a UV allergy and those people had ot stay out of the sun
(3:43:24 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: then question 45: "Explain why people suffering from EPP cannot synthesise hemoglobine out of proto-something."
(3:43:53 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: this could be me but did thye not just TELL me it was because of a genetic defect?!
(3:44:16 PM) [Bexx]: hahaha
(3:44:54 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: andconsidering that proto-somethign or other is NOT in my biology books anywhere, I'm pretty sure hte question was not directed at the "give the chemical explanation as ot why this can't happen."
(3:45:17 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: all my books said was that hemoglobine is formed in the body to bind oxygen from the lungs nad transport it around.
(3:47:11 PM) [Bexx]: Now the upside....its over XD
(3:47:26 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: this much is true... I just don't feel as accomplished as I should I guess
(3:47:30 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: but I can blame that on drugs
(3:48:31 PM) [Bexx]: *nod nod* And the fact you finger sounds likes its about to fall off
(3:49:10 PM) [ SR ] [Character Glossary Extraordinaire ]: oh yes and there's that...
