Three(ish) days remain

Topics I could currently pull off in an essay question:
Cardiovascular, for Physiology or Anatomy. Even developmental anatomy. I'm happy.

Some renal physiology. Osmo/volume control, calcium/phosphate balance. Possibly acid-base control from kidneys and lungs. It's cool.

Nerve/muscle stuff. Last resort only, since it bores the shit out of me.

Joints. Should be okay. I have limited knowledge of muscle origins or insertions, though. This is not so good.

Horse leg below mid-cannon level. What can I say, it's an elegant design. It appeals to me.

GI tract, I'm not so sure on. Ruminant stomach, maybe. Digestive differences between species, maybe. Blood supply... more difficult.

Oesophageal obstruction. Doubt it'll come up, somehow. I want an essay on VRA... but not really enough there to make up an essay. I can do the diagrams. :D

MIMS... protein general stuff, I could be okay in. Metabolism needs some serious work. I need ALSO to revise TolKRAPsky's lectures again. And pick out the few new points introduced in the genetics lectures. And go over the practical book at least once more, although I've done so more than once. Cell signalling should be fine if I look it over again.

This of course is just what currently occurs to me, and has been a self-centred, boring-to-other-people exercise intended to cheer myself up so that I freak out less often. Thanks for reading. I need all the support I can get.

Did you stay up all night in the end? Your mummy would not be pleased.

My nails have gone insane. D'you think I'm getting too much calcium?

Cestudy (see the clever wordplay there?)

PS. What happened to "so blogging will have to take a backseat"??

Um... it was supposed to... then I realised I need it more now than ever. It's my safety valve. ;)

PS. In this particular case, TK does not stand for tyrosine kinase.

I shall cease to malign those precious nerves you love so much when the need to study their existence stops making my life hell. Oh, and I expect a formal apology too. From anyone remotely involved in designing that part of the course.
