I’ve always loved Shii’s Song. As I was just slacking off after reading Physio’s pain lecture, I happened acrossed the flash, and thought it might be appropriate for the day’s lecture.

What if that star is not to come?
Will their dreams fade to nothing?
When the horizons darkens most
We all need to believe there is hope

Yup, [...]

I guess there’s something happy about not facing a 8 am till 4:50 pm class until Sept 19 ~ for now, I’m okay with 8:00 till 3:00. It’s a tolerance thing I think Overtime, will build up tolerance against the evil thing called sleep! Eventually, will embrace sleep deprivation and [...]

First anatomy class. Today marks the day when all hell will start breaking lose. I can already tell how much more studying I’ll have to do to keep up. Heh. It’s challenging ~ and exciting!
Radiology
- Dr. Gohel
- Lecture Notes (Read Handout though)
- Topic: Film Characteristics, Density, H&D Curve, radiolucent, radiopaque, latitude, [...]

Four classes in a single day, how exciting is this?! Well, BioChem didn’t really count I guess since we just took a 10 minute quiz and that was it.
BioChem
- Dr. Schreiber
- Topic: First BioChem Quiz
Summary: 8 questions, a bit tricky!
Radiology
- Dr. Mardini
- Power Point Handout for Notes
- Topic: Biological Effect of Radiation, deterministic, stochastic, [...]

Heh, I think only a few people may be still studying for the BioChem Quiz ~ I’m taking a quick break and writing this since I decided to slack off all day to watch Simoun. Why? I dunno – I just wasn’t motivated to study since nothing seem difficult yet… (thus the cause [...]

BioChem
- Taught by Dr. Bergethon
- Skipped Class, heard it was about acid & bases, and then protein purification and classification ~ since Mo took some good notes, I’ll just refer to his ^_^
Radiology
- Taught by erm… forgot her name, but she really like cemetaries!
Summary:
She talked mostly about her life, and her PASSION about radiology. [...]

This week promises to be even more exciting than the last with the introduction of IDP tomorrow and physiology on Friday! I’m PUMPED! Okay, maybe not that pumped, but… pretty damn pumped. Having one class of Ethics this afternoon thoroughly sucked though… if anything, schedule all classes in the mornin, or afternoon! [...]

Two serious classes, back to back! As I sit here, starting at the last homosexualish Bacardi Silver (strawberry) – I think I’m gonna get my ass kicked in two or so weeks. To add Anatomy and Physiology into the mix? It’s gonna be tough! Even though the stuff from BioChem is [...]

I would say today’s lecture is worth 6 minute walk. Radiology may be a difficult subject, but not at this level in my opinion. Slides were on handout, it should be posted on courseinfo later. However, Dr. Gohel’s lectures haven’t been posted yet.
Lecture Notes
Summary:
What are the factors controlling the X-ray beam? [...]

Again, the reason why I fail. Classes start out as unchallenging, so I slack ~ and one day, even when the classes became challenging, I would still be slacking and unaware until suddenly, there’s no way of recover the time lost! So I say Fudge It!

I count today as the first day of Dental School here at Boston University. Although I’ve already gone through a month+ of … pre-dental education here at BU, they don’t really matter in the overall scheme of things. Yesterday, we got our books distributed to us ~ I chose the DVD version of [...]
