Finally exam results came out!
I passed :)
I'm onto year three
... and that's terrifying.
So I'm enjoying my holidays with painting, sewing, quilting, baking, and shopping.
For now though I am sickly and as my mum put it - I have to get every disease that I've read about - I may have bladder stones.
Officially halfway :)

p.s. weird dream last night
Dreamt there was a party here at my house - and my ex was here for some reason. He said something rude or mean so I yelled at him and he threw a glass bottle at my head! (It bounced mind you, but it could have broken!) So I yelled at him some more, grabbed him and virtually threw him out the front door.
Strange and annoying and just plain rude that he's not talking to either me or my new boyfriend (his now ex-best friend; oops) and encouraging others to not talk to us either. All bets to be taken now on when he'll get over it. I'm going with never. p.s. he and the girl he keeps hanging around? yes they are screwing and have been for longer than either of them would care to tell - thought you ought to know since they are still claiming they're "just friends".
p.p.s. Mum and I both sorted into Ravenclaw (surprise surprise) (when doing the online quiz she'll do with her class tomorrow).
Bedtime for real now. Night.

Beloved Holidays
Ah maggie you make me laugh. Finally got around to reading through all your old posts - it's been a while since I've read them... (comment on latest post also serves the purpose of reminding me where I'm up to next time I get distracted by uni work). I too bake lots during study week. It seems like such a practical form of procrastination. Though here's something I realised - you've had that nasty cough since splendour (in July)... perhaps you have lung cancer =S or TB =S or pneumonia (nah not as interesting - go with TB).
On another note - exams results should be out soon, no?
It has been a little over a week since holidays began. And I am loving them!
So far I have bought several items of furniture for moving out of home next year, begun to learn how to quilt (I know, I'm such a nana), helped my mum prepare for her Harry Potter class assignment (including looking up fun things to eat(!) and painting a Hogwarts crest) and finally painting a picture of our two dachshund puppies (in 5 days I might add!). One of my best friends from Germany arrives in a little over a week so perhaps this mad dash to complete everything and anything during my holidays will wane a little. (Or she'll get swept up in the hurricane too - either way should be good :P)
Off to bed to get up early to take puppy to vet (sore nose and stinky butt) and then to mark all day - bleugh.

Dreaming of Magic
Just to randomly update my holidays status...
at 3am I am immersed in the world of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.
I hate that I can't seem to get enough of the characters in the novels, but in fanfiction? oh! It's another story altogether... I think I like the idea of Draco and Harry, as enemies being able to get over their differences to realise how incredibly attractive both of them would be, especially with all the quidditch training. Nice.
I know I'm not making much sense. The night ended badly last night and I went to bed with my cheeks and ears burning in frustration, anger and embarrassment. Even still I didn't get anything truly sorted today, though I tried. I think the idea is to go with the flow but that assumes that others make the moves instead - if they go with the flow too then nothing happens and you end up getting shoved out of the way so that someone else who can make decisions moves into place.
So HP/DM slash has been a nice retreat for me. To dive into the world of HP and dream about being a part of it. Though knowing myself I'd have been just the same nerdy, uncoordinated, socially inept marshmallow I was in highschool. Chances are magic would have little to change in that scenario.
Nevermind, I can dream. :P

2008 - first year med = over
I understand that I may have gone a little overboard with the studying via blog... not that we were tested on much of that, or that I could remember many of the law cases so maybe I shant do that next year :P
Today was the last day of exams. Four exams in the last three days... it has been hell, but very satisfying that it is all finally over!! So I can relax during my holidays only to do it all again next year :P Though (new years resolution #1) I will be more prepared with study notes before exams. The plan is also to possibly look at muscles and bones over the holidays to become acquainted with the many many muscles we will have to know by this time next year.
I am home recently from the after exam party. We played pool at Tom's, where I got quite tipsy and yet I still have half my drinks there... Went to Melbas and had a good time; then my feet got very sore (NYR #2) so I will learn not to wear heels (despite very sexy heels that make me at least 3 inches taller - so yea, 5'5" = practically normal!!) when I know I will be dancing/partying for so long; then many people left; then when most of the good ones had gone and the ratio of sleazes to cuties was severe, I got Tom to walk me to the taxi rank and got home eventually. Now my feet are painful and my makeup is still on. Tomorrow I will fix.
For now I am concerned about two things - 1. there are a fair few cute boys in med who would be potentials in the dating scene if they were not a) in med with me for the next 4 years b) more like brothers to me and c) currently attached with girlfriends and admirers; and 2. how I can explain to my boyfriend that no, I dont want to go visit your family on the weekend because a) it is my car and he doesnt have a licence so I will be doing all the driving b) dan is coming down and I haven't seen him in ages, nor will I see him in ages after this weekend and he is awesome fun c) this weekend was sort of meant to be me partying heaps since I have now finished exams d) cos I need to stop showing so much attachment (and thus feeling more attached) to his family (and thus him) as it seems like the breakup is inevitable more and more each day. I hate the fact that it is always me doing the traveling to see him and that when he suggests we go visit his parents that the implication is via my car, my petrol (which he rarely contributes to) and me doing all the driving. I hate that he wont appreciate the fact that I like to go to clubs and party and dance, and instead will sulk by the corner watching me and getting angry when other guys look at me, yet he will casually stare at the next nice pair of breasts that walks by and even feel cocky enough to point them out to me.
Augh. Inevitable is inevitable. I'm just a weak bastard who wont committ to the uncommitting..

Cardiac Cycle. Yea I know I'm lame :P
Phases:
1 Atrial contraction
End A systole pressv so valves float back up
2 Isovolumetric contraction
press V > A so AV valves close.
S1
V press ^^
3 Rapid ejection
press V > aorta/pulmT - SL valves open
4 Reduced ejection
rate of ejection decreases
5 Isovolumetric relaxation
press V < vessels so SL close
S2
6 Rapid filling
press V < A so AV open
S3 may occur
7 Reduced flling
vents fill, but less compliant so ^press
S4 may occur
