Once In A Blue Moon

Some people may have known their friends a whole lifetime yet never really know them inside-out. Some people have strong instincts about their friends’ characters and at times,they turn out to be true. They may also be some people who are at the same wavelength or key with us, so much so that at times we do not even need to say out what we want to say–they can just read our mind.

I just had the FIRST paper of my finals–natural product in medicine. I am NOT HAPPY with my performance because I didnt manage to write 12 marks worth of point for the use of atropine though I studied. I missed out the CNS depressant, truth drug and remedy against spasm in GKIT and motion sickness. Heck that is A LOT. I think being old makes me dumb. =( I lost my brain cells. HElp!!!!!!!!!!!!

To add to that, the bloody drug prototype question came up!! (I had better chance in scoring in this question that another question with NO SUB-questions. My strategy is, if you cannot remember 90% of the points in an essay, choose the one with subquestions which have break-down to your points. At least u get some points by writing something u aguely remember rather than concocting an entire 20-mark essay out of your partially saturated brain.) I spent some time ‘coming up’ with side effects of mescaline, cocaine, LSD,fentanly, amprotropine etc…

That is because most of the side effects are so similar and u can have like 21 derivative drugs from atropine alone!! So I didn’t pay attention to side effects when I was studying. I could name that all the drugs from the prototype of morphine, thebain, papaverine and atropine. NOT the individual side effects. Crap. So I used my 2nd strategy–MOST, practially ALL the drugs have nausea and vomitting as side effects. Don’t believe me? Check the BNF. =P So erm, I put nausea for those that I cannot write hallucination, sedation or addiction. heck is addiction a side effect? I checked just now–I mixed up some side effects =(

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don’t know to be grateful that I could write something or be sad that I didn’t memorise the right thing. I studied fatty acids, polyketides and that terpenoids which dr arjun said ‘very important’. Not to mention, I think those are less nausea-inducing to read. I also ‘goreng’ away that subquestion on conversion of stigmasterol to progesterone because BLOODY sad la..I put Oppenauer oxidation at the end and NOT the beginning..mixed it up with the 457473868 of reactions that we had in the notes.

OK la, I think it wasn’t that that bad but it was pretty not good. I hope I get a B+. Is that too much to ask?

If I get that targeted GPA this sem, which I really wish I can get, I may just cut my hair short. My family knows how much I LOVE MY LONG HAIR so you know how much I am willing to ’sacrifice’ for the sake of my grades…. OK to be more practical I MUST STUDY AND FOCUS. STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!

I don’t know why but this is the first time as far as I can remember that I got headache doing revision before exams. As in real headache that required me to take panadol. I also had disturbed sleeps last week and I wonder if that is a sign that stress crept into me unconsciouly.

May be it is true that the more you want something deep inside, the more anxious you are. But then again, I always tell myself, less is more. I don’t want to have too high hopes because the greater the hopes, the greater the disappointment may be.
