Good luck with your algebra exam!

Approximately 7000 calories (a little less if you are female or under 70 kg) must be ingested to gain a kilogram. That's the equivalent of 7 family sized blocks of chocolate, or 7 large pizzas, or 70 bananas.
Just 175,000 calories to go for me!

I was perusing the scribbles in my MBB2 and CHEM10004 notes before throwing them out (goodbye chemistry!) when I found this. At some point during quantum mechanics when Trevor Smith asked us to visualize an electron, I drew a rabbit with a heart shaped bum.

nailed the exam
Hahahahaha my Intro Macro notes are basically 90% caricature sketches of the lecturer. Le sigh.

On another note, has anyone done any second year philosophy subjects? I'm thinking of doing Ethical Theory next year in particular. Is it dreadfully difficult to score well in Philosophy? I'd assume the essay writing style is similar to English?

OH GOD BUT I JUST ATE 70 BANANAS.

But seriously? ytd I only ate 600 calories because all I had left in the house were my low card health pots (the equivalent of someone else's ramen?) so idk why I feel like this.

Ballerina all your drawings are so good I'm ashamed to own a pen.


HOLY CRAP SCRIBBLE.
That's like me and my red bull.
At the beginning of swotvac I purchased 32 cans of red bull.
3 remain.

"Hi Oakley,

The exam is focussed on lecture content, but some of the ILA material could be relevant  - particularly the activities that are very closely related to the lecture material and provide additional detail or examples of some concepts.

Regards,
Mike"

Linear Algebra exam this morning. This subject kills me.
Fun fun fun fun. I found the exam pretty good - nothing ridiculously difficult, but very long...

Yeah it was so much easier than it could have been! I forgot to revise the conic stuff so I didn't get the very last part of the last question but otherwise it was good. Finished with like 2mins left haha.

Haha, yeah, I was basically the same. Finished with like a minute... And was on the third page of my fourth script book. The trees. :(

I didn't get the second part of that nullity proof. No clue...

Hahaahahaha I've been studying for my breadth subject over the weekend and today
How does one even study for a breadth exam. I've just been walking around Redmond Barry aimlessly, drinking lattes and hoping UoM doesn't realize I'm downloading South Park episodes from their wifi.

You all give very good advice, which I would like to request. Having a high amount of savings is important to me because I've been supporting myself/living alone since 15.  I work quite a bit, but I'd like to cut down during the school year so I can focus on studying more and consequently receive an academic scholarship. I participate in a lot of studies, like $20 ones at Monash to complete memory tasks, to $120 ones at Swinburne to take multivitamins and test the dose-response in my blood. Safe trials, in summary. The Centre for Clinical Studies, however, conducts very invasive trials, and seemingly more risky ones; many of their trials are the first to be tested on humans and involve treatments like malaria vaccinations. However, the reimbursement is usually ~$3000 for just a few days of participation (they write it off as 'travel costs', ahahaha).

I usually stay away from it and am subscribed out of curiosity, but a seemingly milder trial has come up. I'm tempted, and it doesn't seem anymore dangerous than a recreational drug or driving in the rain. What do you think? They're offering $1700.

"This research project is testing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the way the body processes the drug) of ZP-GLUCAGON administered transdermally (through the skin as a patch)."

"ZP-GLUCAGON has not been approved for marketing by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia (and is not yet approved anywhere else in the world). Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ZP-GLUCAGON as a single transdermal dose will be evaluated.
GlucaGen is a drug currently marketed in many countries, including USA and Australia for the treatment of low blood sugar levels. GlucaGen will be the positive control in this study as the effects on blood sugar levels are known for this drug. This study is the first time ZP-GLUCAGON is tested in humans.
The use of ZP-GLUCAGON and GlucaGen in this study is experimental"

"The potential risks of study participation include those associated with exposure to ZP-GLUCAGON and the risks of medical evaluation, including venipuncture (insertion of a needle through the wall of a vein) and an injection into a muscle.
The adverse events associated with ZP-GLUCAGON are expected to be similar to GlucaGen:

vomiting

 abdominal pain,
 blood pressure decrease,
 abnormal heart rhythm,
 allergic reaction–signs are wheezing, sweating, rapid heart beat, rash, swollen face"

All I can say is if you turn into a mutant, give Professor X, Magneto and Wolverine my regards and know that I'm in full support of mutant-human equality. In fact, get some more of the stuff so I can join you.

I'd probs just do it because there's a 50% chance you'll be a placebo.
However, as a placebo, I would probably freak out and think I had all those side effects and trick myself into thinking I was dying...so I'd probably never do it.

Also to even get to that stage of drug development it has to have not killed anything before so that's promising.

Just like, make sure you remember that if you do get sick/need to be monitored then you'll have downtime associated with that...
