Semester 2 is in full action.

After a massive break from formal lectures and work- excluding revision for exams. I've finally started again :) This semesters modules are quite different to the last

Semester 1 I had:

1. Human structure and function ( which was basically a fancy name for physiology and anatomy)
2. bio science skills, a module that taught us practical, essay and excel skills.
3. Forensic and molecular chemistry
4. Molecular basis of life.

Looking back at it, I really miss human structure and function, loved the module and the teacher. I actually just got my results for it recently, meh I was 3 marks of a first but that's done.

 Semester 2 I have:

1. Molecular basis of life
2. Bio science skills, which I only have 2 lectures left.
3. Microbiology and immunology
4. Disease biology and public health

Disease biology replaced principles of drug action and I am sooooo happy that I was allowed to change. only had one lecture so far and im already loving it. We were given a choice of 25 diseases to research, which were things like asthma, Aids allergies etc. I chose the norovirus, mainly because it was really in the news last year and because there was a case of that in holby city. Micro biology, the first lecture consisted of the lecturer reading of the slides and it was a snooze fest. He was teaching us what we already knew for the most part, so at break me and my friend sneaked off to lunch *sshhh* and then stayed around till 4 because supposedly there was a tutorial which never ended up happening. To be honest, how you find the module is related to how the teacher is, the more enthusiastic they are the more you'll enjoy it.
Molecular basis of life basically should've been called biochemistry, because it's jam packed with genetics. That's literally all they've been talking about, DNA, enzymes, amino acids blah blah blah and then I had this teacher who kept banging on about p53 for 4 weeks, I still haven't found out what that is.

Revision is back on for me, and more practicals yaay! that's like a huge factor of why I chose biochem. Experiments, this coming week im going to have 2 practicals till 9pm. I was lucky with practical timing last semester so i'm not going to complain. 

Because I've kept banging on about my chemistry exam for so long I thought I should share the result as well, *drum roll* I got a 2.1 (B) I was kind of surprised and relieved at the same time. I expected the worst because of how the exam went and also because I knew in my heart that I could've done more. I'm not fond of doing post mortems on exams so I wont go into that.

And that's all for this week, peace out
