Click (2006)

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

I think having the “right” cast for a movie is essential for its success. Click suffers from poor casting – and I’ll tell you why right now: Kate Beckinsale cannot convincingly play the part of a normal household mother. She is simply too $(#@&!%(& hot. Without an absurb amount of makeup, [...]

End of EXCEL 2006, Start of BUSDM ‘10

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

The days of wine and roses might be enveloping me ~ yesterday at Lir should/need be the last night of open tab, drunk & disorderly, and walking about Boston past 2 am. I doubt I’m anywhere close to addiction, but going out can be intoxicating. Still, I haven’t let myself go over the [...]

Introduction to Introduction to Dental Practice

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Wish we had more of this kind of class – a hands on experience at what the dental assistants do behind the scenes! Back when I was shadowing, I would watch Beth do all of the things we saw (not to the exact procedures… but close), and to actually do it myself was great! [...]

Anatomical Sciences – Lecture 12 (Final Exam)

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Very fair test – extremely difficult, yet nothing from the left field. I should have studied more, oh well. Oh yes, it’s cumulative – so during the year, some material will keep coming back to haunt ya!
So let’s see if I can name em all now.
Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abduence, Facial, Vestibulocochlear, [...]

Physiology – Lecture 11

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

Er, we went over cardiac output yesterday. A lot of graphics, and … stuff. Dunno what went on, but… it wasn’t easy!

Anatomical Sciences – Lecture 11 (Practicum)

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

I held a brain in my hands today. That’s the hightlight of yesterday’s practicum.
It’s 5:25 am, and I can’t fall asleep. Today, we’re having the EXCEL anatomy final, and I thought it’d be good to drink a red bull, and study for a bit. After tossing and turning the past 4 hrs, [...]

Shaolin Iron Egg Technique!

Monday, July 24th, 2006

I just found this via a link from GameFAQs forum – it’s a keeper

A Tale of Furniture Acquisitions

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

I started looking for furnitures not too long ago. A week I would suppose. It’s been a long road, and I think I got most everything that I/we would need for now.
Bed: It was the simplest thing to get from the girl. I saw the 7/14/06 ad on craigslist, emailed her [...]

Physiology – Lecture 10

Friday, July 21st, 2006

Something about the cardiac muscle, muscle contractions… mostly worked on the worksheet.

BioChemistry – Lecture 10 (Final)

Friday, July 21st, 2006

Like the mid-term, the BioChem final is not as hard as it should be. It’s slightly more challenging I suppose, with wordier problems, but then again, there wasn’t a lot of material covered since the midterm. So, let’s just party down with a video to celebrate the end of EXCEL BioChem!

Anatomical Sciences – Lecture 10

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

We went over the gross anatomy of the neck region and… yeah.

Physiology – Lecture 09

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Dr Moore wente crazy on us on the cardiac muscle contraction, and other kinds of … stuff. I didn’t pay attention all day long ~ just kept looking at Craigslist for furnitures and other things.

Physiology – Lecture 08 (Mid-Term)

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Like the BioChem mid-term, Dr Levy and Dr Moore are also toying with us, lulling us into thinking physiology is going to be easy. We all knew it might be super hard, with how crazy the flow and resistance and etc can get. Hell, physic was my worst subject in Engineering! Easy [...]

Anatomical Sciences – Lecture 09

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

I didn’t take any notes today. Instead of giving my full 100% attention, I stared every once in a while at my laptop on how to reply to scammer emails. Just diverting my attention for a split second was enough to make most everything said by Dr Whitney gibberish. The lecture was [...]

BioChemistry – Lecture 09

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Today was the last EXCEL lecture on Biochemistry! Horrah! Nothing too difficult, just a brief overview on signal transduction and three different pathways taken with epinephrine, insulin, and epidermal growth factor (EGF).
