May is rather blue this side of it... let me dissect my current learning.
Melb.U runs a course that is "Systems-based" rather than "Subject-based". A look at my time table would say something like:
Week 7: Overview of Anatomy - connective tissue, epithelia, viscera, yada yada
Week 8: Genetics
Week 10: Embryology (yes! that's all the pure embryology we're gonna get!)
Week 11: Receptors & Basic Pharmocology
the plus points:
-lots of breadth and coverage
-co-relation between subjects
-less dreary, more diverse
the cons:
-lots of different subjects to study at anytime!
-the depth required for each subject is hard to judge (and it's irritating to stop & find out i'm only covering it in semester 5)
-blind mugging seems to have a lesser effect than it did before
Ok i'm just fussing cos i sat through 8 straight hours of studying and it's making me irritable. Test on friday, exams start on June 10. Patience to cook falling. Instant noodle consumption rising. Life's good =) Oh and i bought a guitar a while ago..don't think i mentioned it =)=)=) helps with my sanity at home! (for those interested it's a Takamine ED-20SC N) Ah Pei Yi sends her greetings; yes she's doing very well (her essay totally put mine to shame)
How's everyone doing? Hope's everyone's well and good and enjoying the hols! God bless...

i perceive that [length of time spent studying]=1/k [patience to cook]=k`[instant noodle consumption]
genetics is fun fun yay yay! we had a qn on genetic counselling a while back. "How would you counsel this family?" after rambling for a page, my friend desperately asserted, "i would use simple language and many diagrams." (apparently they wanted us to use the scientific method)
if it's any comfort, blind mugging did none of us here any good either. prob a uni thing.
how's OCF! tell us about three friends you met this year :) (ishihara not counted)
ps i just read about sonic hedgehog
