*SIIIIGHHH* not a good day today.shaking head just managed to plant myself in front of my book, perhaps turned a coupla pages, but did not actually learn much. and what rotten timing - right at the start of the week.sad better change pace tomorrow, coz i can't afford the week to be a replica of today.shaking head i don't know what the heck got into meshaking head.........the day started off as usual, with my usual gung-ho attitude, lost my way somewhere in between.confused *SIIIIIGHHH*

night-oh, everyone.

thank you all sooooo very much.smiling face you guys can really pick me up when i'm down. and i love you all for that.smiling face *heart-shaped smiley*

thanks p4a99, medoc, feyza and keepgoing. you guys always make me feel great when you come by!nod

i've gotten meself a date, toward the end of nov. but i'd rather not make a big deal of it, coz there are high chances of my buying time closer to the date. am not even halfway through 2nd read, so facing the test within ~5 weeks is not wise at all.confused anyway i've been strongly urged to get a date to make me use my time better [thanks, you know who you are] and i think that part is definitely working.rolling eyes

well, the plan for the near future is to do the qbook qn blocks for phys. i've finished 2nd read a coupla days back. time to face the tests now. in the meantime, i've also completed qbank beh sc, in the thought that it'll be refreshing after a phys-heavy 10-days. i think it worked, coz now am revved up to handle another biggie, AND i'm nearly done with beh sc.cool double whopper!

i'm in two minds on which subject to begin with next. am leaning toward biochem.confused but anat's my weakest pointsad. and they say tackle your weakest first, or else you'll neglect itshaking head.... but, then anat's not very testedrolling eyes.....so, am flip-floppingsmiling facesadsmiling facesadsmiling facesad right now.grin any insight will be appreciated. thanks.nod

something i learnt from HY cell and mol bio. i don't think this was mentioned in KLN.

Gene Amplification is when a particular gene is replicated numerous times in the same chromosome strand. this serves the function of amplifying the function of the said gene.

e.g. methotrexate inhibits cancer cells by inhibiting dihydro folate reductase. the ca cells carry out gene amplification of the DFR producing gene, so that levels of DFR is high enough to overcome the inhibitory effect of MTX.

smart, huh!wink

hey paheli...

very inspiring.. keep up the good work.smiling face. will def read the high yields u have posted..


  #264

So sorry Paheli, did not mean to freak you out.....must have misunderstood that you are done with it....in any case, congratulations are in order cos you are putting in efforts and thats what matters!! Like your avi, what matters is that you rise after you fall, time and again....and never lose hope!! smiling face

Well, I am still doing Pharm, doing it slowly, but enjoying the ride. It seems to be making sense now...so I am sure in my next read with questions things will go better. I really like MMRS, it makes micro quite simple....

Keep at it!!! You will succeed!

My review of HY Behavioral Science:

these past few days, i have been reading HY Beh Sc, and i must say that i like it a lot. in my first read, i used kln and the vids by dr daugherty. for the most part, it was good going. but there are many things to memorize. and that has never been my forte. i hate cramming, and i'm not good at it.

in kln there are pages and pages of info to be memorized. all in bullet format, which is quite intimidating. anyone remember that table on drugs of abuse? in tiny print? yikes!! but in HY, i feel it is better presented. same goes for psychopharm. imho, it is much better handled in HY. classification of anti-psychotics, anti-depressants etc, which majority of students get easily confused by, [the names are so darn easy to confuse/forget!], the way dementia or alzheimer dz is handled is nice.

Dr Daugherty is unequalled in ethics, but for the drugs section, he was ok at best. he only lists/reads out what is in kln. understandable coz he's not a pharm major. but, still we need to learn the matter required.

anyway, this is just my feeling.so, if you happen to have Hy Beh Sc, definitely go through it.
