Good; I already know 4 out of the 8 lectures I have to do.
Bad; I didn't realize the last lecture was 12 pages long =/

Your random medica lword of the day iiiis *drum roll * Pterygoid muscle! 
The pterygoid muscle functions as the antagonist to the masseter muscle in the mandicle and the articular disk of the temoromandibular joint!

I feel so smart because I now actually know what all those words mean and what the pterygoid muscle does! ... essentially it means it allows for the lower jaw to do the side-ways fexion when chewing. Doesn't sound NEARLY as impressive as the 'proper' explanation of it. But oh well...

As Eventus put it;
SR: *flexes brain powers*
Eventus: My face just went O_o
SR: haha and by doing that oyu flexed all the muscles and joints I just mentioned!

aaaand...
"Adipose tissue on the other hand has little extracellular structural material but has proportionally larger intracellular material. It has a thermoregulatory function and a protective function but its most important role is in energy metabolism"
...
or as I put it in my notes: "Fat keeps people warm and protects people and can be burned by lack of energy"

Now back to the study mobile! 17 more pages to go before the end of the day! and 7 more hours until midnight!
(and all the on just one can of energy drink!!!! *bounce*)

So... tuesday I ha my driver's exam theory thing...

Had to go to alkmaar by train, grab the bus and then walk a few meters to the CBR.

Seemed simple enough ...except for the part where the busses were o strike. NAturally being the hermit I am I did not know this so after waiting for 10 miutes at the busstop the nice busdriver told us there were no busses going. So a bit panicky I asked him the easiest way to get to the stop I was supposed to get off at. And that where things REALLY started to go downhill.
He kindly informed us we could walk there but that it was a good 3km, if not more. And that we might not make our appointment because it was quite a long walk. He told us how to get there the quickest and we set off spee hiking like maniacs.

Honestly I don't think I've ever walked that fast. I pulled a muscle in my thigh and twisted my hip strangely as well so I was in pain too and my shoes randomly decided to shrink a size so my toes were getting mushed like only boiled potatoes should be mushed.

Once we thought we were there, slowed down only ot figure out we weren't there yet.. so we started speed hiking again. NOr nomally I don't mind speed hiking if I know how far it is that I have to go! But alas...

We did get there, in a whooping 30 minutes or so,  Ithink we set a new world record :P

Took the test aaaand... I PASSED =D
So I have my theory ceritficate thingermajick.. =D I'm quite pleased considering I only had four days to learn it all (and I know NOTHING about road rules, I'm a menace) and I only studied for 3 days, I'm an idiot like that... Ionly read the bok once... but ... I did it anyway! I only had 5 faults, so.. .yey! I felt very acomplished...

I did something today! Huzzah!

I emailed the AEDP today!
On the downside; I read that now the course is 30 weeks rather than 21 it was before. And according to my working visa I can only study for 17 weeks. So buh... not sure how that works out but I asked the AEDP people that....

Now ... we wait.
