first seminar

haha i'm just training my memory by blogging so many things at one go. yea first seminar today. got an EMI assessment at the start of every seminar. EMI just means multiple choice, somewhat equivalent la. there are 5, so 1.2% each for 6%. yup sep is SU so i'll just need to get a S and a pass here is only 40%.

BUT the previous night was over at edel's room, so obviously i didnt study at all. omg. i got a 4 out of 14. that's like abt 28% so it means a U. so scary. but really almost impossible to score la. cos it's memorising work! the 2nd half is the non-memory work which i know how to do, is not graded, they are discussion qn for the seminar. these are analysing which graphs are due to competitive/irreversible or full/partial agonists and antagonists. ok nvm all bio terms. engineers are more accustomed to understanding wat are taught in lecture and then apply.

well the graded part is like choosing from the options, which are nuclear receptors, g-protein receptors, wat kinase-linked receptors. the options are like insulin, muscarinic/nicotinic acetylcholine, oestrogen etc. omg! how would i know? well it just hints that i need to study, at least secure this 6%, no now abt 5% and then 9% for the practicals which i only need to attend and then submit the write up online. i'll then just need 25% to pass. but anyway i should aim higher la perhaps 60% cos usually marks will go way below the aim. sianz! why did i choose to study this?

meeting jiafang and edel after that, so obviously immed complain to them. haha. then we go to the train station to apply for my railcard and collect the tix that we've ordered online the night be4.
