The reserved spots is for future use in case the post thread runs out of space. I don't like having my journal scattered around if you know what I mean.
Yea keep staying focused all the time is indeed very challenging. Btw you guys, give me your e-mail so I can look your guys up when I travel cross the ocean someday.

Yea didnt get as much out of it as I thought.
Anyways, so far for this summer I've revised
Cellular biochem + genetics twice
Celllular physio + neurophysio twice
immune twice
Fresh first read behavior science, textbook, BRS and kaplan once each
anatomy once
I'm a sucker for histology but I dont think I will have the time to revise before this summer ends especially since lab work is getting really intense atm. Right now I'm doing first read on pharm.
Yesterday did first read on Big Katzung + small katzung + kaplan once each on pharm intro, dynamics and kinetics.
