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*)

I <3 Biology.
And I do not know why. I just do. I can't explain it. I think I'm a biology-phile? Maybe a ...biosexual...?

Either way, I never quite realized how much I loved biology until I just now went back to making notes from lecture sheets about the horse' respiratory system. And while at the top of the page it specifically says "Don't pay too much attention to the internal respiration, just get an idea." ....
But I KNOW the structure of the respiratory system front to back in two languages with my eyes closed while whacking a pinata, I know the science behind diffusion between aveoli and the blood, and understand how the permeation with the carpillaries works, I even already know the science of how oxygen molecules glueing themselves to haemoglobine in the bloodstream.... all of which was only lightly touched on in this lecture, making me feel just slightly bored with it because I know all this crap already...!

And then internal respiration comes across, with big bold font on the scanned in pages... and suddenly, there's all these new terms and indepth explanations on how the energy is released and how the body makes up for the loss of andosine triphosphates and what exactly the efficient purpose of the mitochondria is in all this (which I had learned before but never quite put in the grand scheme of things) and I just got sucked into all of it, despite the fact that it was 5:14am and I had said I would not go into the material but would go to bed instead, but I couldn't resist the temptation and started taking a few notes, to help me 'form an idea' and before I knew it I was scribbling away furiously at my notes faster and faster, barely even taking a glance at the lecture sheet anymore just writing away at my own awesome conclusion and as I hit the last full stop, solidly and definitively on the page I knew that with only a little help and guidances from the book I had drawn all these conclusions myself and that it was correct and that I had LEARNED something and that I LOVED it.

.... and I felt superior because of it... It was beautiful. *wipes away a tear*

It was even more beautiful when I then tried to come up with a small concise definition of both external and internal respiration and what my brain came up with was backed up by the big awesome Merriam-Webster's Medical Desk Dictionary of win and awesome(tm). Almost to the letter exact...!

*deep content sigh* One of those weird days where homework is very... VERY gratifying. I would say better than sex, but I have very little comparative material.

Maybe I should just go on to study biology after all this... >_>

Spend a lovely evening with my friends as an unofficial goodbye party. Made cheese fondue which was good, though a bit stringy XD
Which was cause form uch hilarity. And we were perverse and witty and it was just all around brilliant. Which is good, but also made me sort of sad because I'm going to miss them all and our little get togethers filled with insanity, mockery and all-around fun.

[info]isabelgou showed me how to make japanese sweet rolled omelette thingies. They were awesome and good and will definately be repeated in the future somewhere... xD

I haven't slept yet because I've spend the whole night watching Supernatural... now I have nothing to do anymore, hence the update! I even did the dishes alredy =O

I think I might nap and the ntry to cram out the character that's been bugging me and then... we'll see. I'll probably do nothing much anymore, maybe clean up a bit if I feel so inclined.. then monday I have a driving lesson and I should really go and poke the bank. And the tuesday we shall see if I'm a proficient driver... if not... I'm going to choke a bitch.

Okay.. I'm still behind but it's less now.. and I did something for today.. that's a good start... technically speaking I should add another 500 words or so to be sure I'm catching up properly but ah fuckit.. can't be arsed... 

Wrote two scenes out tonight... not bad if I do say so myself. 
I think I might make it my mission to catch up with

[info]isabelgou..... *contempaltive look* and then of course always stay at least 5 words ahead of her. 

you know, jsut to add some rivalry to the whole thing... give me a bit more of a drive...
