Erk!

Help! I'm a D2 receptor expressing striatal cell and I'm dying a horrible death!

*bzzz* What is Huntington's Disease?

200 pts for the girl on the left!

Now. Describe to me in detail the indirect basal gangliar motor loop!

*crickets* ...hello? Anyone here?

-----------------

Finals are close. The above illustrates the types of thoughts that play out in my head lately. These random flights of fancy are interspersed with daydreams of getting on a plane and escaping. I spend more time fantasizing about how I'm going to pack my luggage than is probably healthy.

Immunology finally finished (with a resounding kick in our class's collective ass on the way out; thank you so very much Dr. Stanley for writing a test that contained more double negatives and excepts than I've ever seen before) leaving me with neuroscience, physiology and the BSCE I to worry about. Well, I'm not so much worried about the bsce per se. It does however ensure that I can't completely relax even after finals are over. *sigh*

The BSCE I is the 'basic science comprehensive exam I' that will cover everything from first and second term. I can't decide if I should just hand in a blank scantron and be done with it or not. I almost don't want to know how badly I've forgotten everything. Especially anatomy. *shudder* Neuroanatomy, yes, but ask me about the brachial plexus? That's looooong gone. Which is bad. I'm going to have to engage in some hard core review over the break.

Anyhow, there is no real purpose to this posting other than to delay my studying of choreoform disorders. Even though I need another study break like a need a hole in my head.
...aaand I immediately starting thinking about the ways in which I could gain said hole and what the implications would be to my personality depending on where the damage was. And what my breathing rhythms while I was in a coma (which are different depending on where the damage is) would be like.

Today's thoughts brought to you by studying neuro and watching too much NCIS at the same time. Thank you and good night. Remember, our programs are made possible by viewers like you. Please send your pledges to "poor SGU student, Grenada, 5th level of hell". Thank you for watching PBS.
