Calcium and Arachnidonic Acid: what do they have in common?
Well, for one thing, they're both going to be on my (last!) ions quiz tomorrow morning!
:SIGH: it is painful to study for this. There are loads and loads of webnotes to plough through and I'm very tired...have been for the past 6 hours or so, but loaded up on caffeine so no nap in sight (believe me, I tried).
Congrats to Morgan though! On the job offer! :D
Hmm...so today I woke up for the last ever human nutrition class for this quarter, then off to lab to run the mice (did the whole thing completely by myself, very proud indeed), met one of the new students- from Bryn Mawr (v. nice person! Will probably be working on the PDE4D project with me) and then to studying and trying to study in the bookstore, then Tresidder. I was so hungry around 3 pm because of lack of lunch and had a really delicious Grilled Chicken tostada salad from Treehouse around 4 pm (huge, and really good! Taste buds jumping for joy). It's weird, but most of the lab people I know don't eat lunch. They just don't! Hm. I tend to get that way too, especially since I start running the mice around 11 am and don't end up finishing until maybe 2 pm-ish.
I know, I know...irrelevant details. So it goes.
Anyways, terrible time concentrating for this test. I zoned out around 5:45 pm and took an excellent (if tragically short) half hour ("power?") nap before meeting Julia at the Coho to go over our ions paper and review/study G coupled protein receptors, G proteins, and cAMP/cGMP. For serious- everything has got an inhibitor and an activator. The activators have inhibitors and activators which also have inhibitors. There's a ridiculous amount of detail and the last quiz was so difficult! Our ions paper is fairly impressive though (I think) so hopefully that'll be the deciding factor. In any case, I didn't get out of the coho until around 11:15 pm or so...meaning a grand total of, what...nearly 5 hours spent there? Sheesh.
Now I'm wired on caffeine and can't sleep. Have got a fear of the information I've worked so hard to stuff in my head slowly leaking out during the night while I sleep. Honestly, the neuroses...
Anyways, I've still got to get through calcium as an intracellular messenger and cram a LOT about arachnidoinic acid, since it's making up a third of the quiz. Hmm...still have two classes in the afternoon too. Have to write a paper tomorrow night, and start studying for a Friday. What am I doing blogging?
P.S. Not sure if Natasha reads this, but thanks! The chat really helped.
